Previously, the group revealed all five of the members to spark excitement for their debut. On September 4, 2024, the group released a teaser of the song with an acapella group vocal.

Each member gets an individual shot, starting with Sooin and Anna…

…and then panning to Narin, Ella, and Gawon.

As the center, Ella drops the song title at the end, “Meow.”

Many of the comments shared how the teaser didn’t quite live up to their expectations.

“Hmm… Not great. It seems like none of them have much charm.”
“Oh, oh.”
“Hmm…”
“They all have a similar vibe…”

“It’s still just a 10-second teaser, so we’ll need to see more to really know, but it is a bit disappointing compared to my expectations…”
“Oh.”
- “The song seems like it’ll be good, but the members don’t have as much presence as they did during their trainee days… Maybe it’s because of how the video was shot?”

“Ella doesn’t have as much charisma as I thought she would…”
- “…?”
“But more than the members, the visual direction here… I hope the song is good…”
“This company’s visual style seems a bit like the old YG style.”

“The visuals are good, but the outfits are a bit disappointing.”
“What’s with the comments?”
“It does feel a bit different from when the members were first revealed. Maybe the styling is making a big difference.”
“They all look sophisticated, though.”
“The styling…”
