MEOVV DROP THEIR DEBUT EP "MY EYES OPEN VVIDE" ALONGSIDE "DROP TOP" VIDEO
TITLE TRACK “DROP TOP”
May 12, 2025 — (Los Angeles, CA) — Today, multinational K-Pop girl group MEOVV unveil their highly anticipated debut project - the 1st EP album MY EYES OPEN VVIDE, out now via THEBLACKLABEL / Capitol Records. Freely breaking down barriers between genres, moods, languages, and vocal styles, the six-track EP overseen by mega-producer TEDDY (BIGBANG, G-Dragon, 2NE1, BLACKPINK) - delivers an intimate yet expansive sound that captures MEOVV’s core duality: at times razor sharp, at others effortlessly smooth. Listen HERE.
“DROP TOP,” the EP’s title track, arrives alongside a cinematic music video that follows the members as they discover themselves—and each other—through fate, ultimately coming together as one. Watch HERE. The track opens with a calm, reflective mood before erupting into a dynamic, rock-tinged pop anthem that channels a rush of freedom and acceleration—perfect for summer drives with the top down. MEOVV member GAWON helped shape the song’s message, contributing lyrics that draw from her own personal journey.
MY EYES OPEN VVIDE is a sonic coming-of-age story that traces MEOVV’s journey as they open their eyes to the world, break down boundaries, and begin actualizing their dreams—as the world, in turn, opens its eyes to them. Their star power and dynamic range are on full display throughout the six-track EP, culminating in the previously unheard “LIT RIGHT NOW,” a laid-back R&B track co-written by members GAWON and NARIN. The song tells the story of boldly embracing and revealing one’s true self—unshaken by outside expectations or judgment. Serving as the closing track, it leaves a lasting impression of strength and self-assured clarity, rounding out the album with introspective poise.
The EP also includes the recently released “HANDS UP,” a resilience anthem set to a racing Brazilian funk-inspired beat - which has racked up over 20 million YouTube views and earned MEOVV their first-ever music show win on Mnet’s M Countdown, a major milestone for any rookie group. MY EYES OPEN VVIDE also includes the emotionally vulnerable pop/R&B track “TOXIC” (also co-written by members GAWON and NARIN), and “BODY,” a rowdy, dance-inducing hit that doubled as a warning to would-be haters or rivals. Rounding out MY EYES OPEN VVIDE is MEOVV’s bold debut single “MEOW,” a body-banging anthem that roared onto Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart at No. 10, and the music video amassed over 10 million YouTube video views within two days of its release.
MY EYES OPEN VVIDE was written and produced by the top-tier THEBLACKLABEL crew — including label founder Teddy “TEDDY” Park, Kush, 24, Vince, IDO and Dominsuk — alongside international hitmakers like Claudia Valentina, Zikai, Billy Walsh, Jumpa, Malachiii, Tommy Brown, Theron Thomas, and more. After playing an integral role in shaping some of K-Pop’s most iconic acts over the past couple of decades, TEDDY hand-picked the members of MEOVV — his first girl group since debuting BLACKPINK in 2016 — and is directing all facets of the creative and production. MEOVV launched last September and, a mere three months later, took home “Favorite Rising Artist” at the 2024 MAMA Awards, Asia’s most prestigious music award show.
MEOVV have also earned a slew of critical acclaim from, among other outlets, Teen Vogue, Hypebae, The Hollywood Reporter, UPROXX, Clash, and Billboard, who raved, “MEOVV leaped onto the K-Pop scene by showcasing a promising range and bold artistry set to claw out a legacy all their own.” Hailing from South Korea, the US, and Japan, MEOVV’s members include SOOIN, GAWON, ANNA, NARIN, and ELLA — five stars who possess both uniquely compelling identities and an indestructible bond. With MY EYES OPEN VVIDE they unleash their sweetly savage charms, pointedly yet softly piercing through hearts.

About MEOVV:
Fierce, feverishly buzzing, and fabulously chic, MEOVV are clawing their way to the top of K-pop’s new generation. Pronounced "meow," the multinational quintet — SOOIN, GAWON, ANNA, NARIN, and ELLA — is the debut girl group from THEBLACKLABEL, creatively led by label founder/mega-producer Teddy “TEDDY” Park (BIGBANG, G-Dragon, 2NE1, BLACKPINK).
MEOVV have lived up to that lineage from their first single, “MEOW,” a bilingual pop anthem that earned 5.1M global streams on week one, roared onto Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart (No. 10), and whose video logged over 10 million YouTube views in 48 hours. Then came “BODY” — a warning to rivals complete with signature cat-claw choreo — and the R&B-infused “TOXIC,” revealing the group’s emotional side and incredible vocal range. Just three months after their debut, MEOVV displayed stage presence beyond their years at 2024’s MAMA Awards in Osaka, and took home the award for “Favorite Rising Artist.”
Standing for “My Eyes Open Wide,” MEOVV embodies the dynamism and authenticity of young stars in control of their artistry. The group’s members (who are already racking up writing credits) hail from South Korea, the US, and Japan, and possess both unique identities and an indestructible bond. Together they present a duality that’s at times razor sharp, at others effortlessly smooth, while they break down barriers and actualize their dreams. Armed with sweetly savage charms, MEOVV is pointedly yet softly piercing through hearts.
