KATSEYE Reveal WILD EP Tracklist, Including a Target-Exclusive Bonus Song Co-Written by Member Lara Raj

KATSEYE have unveiled the full tracklist for their upcoming EP WILD, with six songs spread across standard and exclusive editions — and one of the group's own members has a writing credit on the bonus track.
The group revealed the tracklist via Instagram on Thursday, July 30, according to Billboard. The EP is scheduled for release on August 14 through HYBE x Geffen Records, the joint label partnership between the Korean entertainment company HYBE and Universal Music Group's Geffen Records.
The standard edition of WILD includes five tracks: "Pinky Up," "Animal," "Hootie Frutti," "Bel Air," and "That Way." A sixth song, "Unloveu," appears as a Target-exclusive bonus track. KATSEYE member Lara Raj co-wrote and co-produced "Unloveu" with Amy Allen and Ross Golan, both established pop songwriters. Raj shared a video message to fans announcing the bonus track.
"Animal" carries a notable co-writing credit: Ed Sheeran is listed as a co-writer on the track. The lead single from the EP, "Pinky Up," was announced earlier this year in May, per the group's Instagram.
WILD is KATSEYE's third EP. The release is being issued in multiple physical CD variants — a "Wild world ver.," a "Wild heart ver.," and a "Member ver." sold as a random member selection, according to the group's official store. The "Wild world ver." CD, listed as an official store exclusive, was limited to four per customer. A digital EP version is also available for purchase. The Target exclusive CD that carries the "Unloveu" bonus track comes in a "Lara. Ver." variant, per Target's listing.
The multiple CD variants and retailer-exclusive bonus tracks follow a release strategy common in the K-pop-adjacent market that HYBE operates in, where different physical editions and retailer tie-ins drive first-week sales — the window that typically determines chart placement. For KATSEYE, who sit at the intersection of HYBE's global trainee system and a Western pop audience, the rollout is structured to reach both: the official store serves the fanbase that collects physical copies, while the Target exclusive brings the EP to a broader US retail audience.
For fans, the August 14 date and the full tracklist give a clear picture of what is coming. What stands out is the "Unloveu" credit — Raj's involvement as both writer and producer on a bonus track, alongside songwriters whose resumes include major pop hits, gives a member of the group a direct hand in the EP's creative output.
