STAYC, our March 2024 digital cover star, makes a powerful return with their latest single album, [S], embracing a sophisticated new sound and a high-fashion aesthetic. With the infectious title track "BEBE" and a sold-out world tour, the group proves they are evolving beyond expectations—ready to lead the next wave of K-pop.
Leading the charge is "BEBE," a pulsating funky house track that delivers a striking visual and auditory experience. The accompanying music video is a high-concept, fashion-forward production, blending avant-garde styling with bold typography reminiscent of luxury editorial spreads. STAYC's message is clear: They refuse to be pigeonholed. The hypnotic refrain, "Don’t wanna be a bebe," encapsulates their desire to transcend superficial labels, inviting fans to embrace authenticity beyond the manufactured perceptions of the industry.

It’s an uplifting, forward-looking track about embracing the future with confidence. Meanwhile, "PIPE DOWN" leans into pop-R&B, enriched with brassy textures and a newfound vocal strength, marking one of STAYC’s most assertive performances yet.
