STAYC chase love in music video for new single ‘GPT’
STAYC have dropped their new single album ‘…I’, alongside an affecting music video for title track ‘GPT’.
Both the record and visual for ‘GPT’ were released on October 30. On STAYC’s new song, the six-piece address a seemingly aloof love interest, who the band refer to as ‘GPT’, which appears to be a reference to the AI chatbot.
The character was described in a press release as “someone who replies indifferently to continuous questions, capturing the essence of unrequited curiosity.”
“Answer me, G-P-T / Don’t you wonder about me? / Is it enough for you as it is?,” they croon on the song’s chorus.
Aside from ‘GPT’, the ‘…I’ single album also includes an additional B-side track titled ‘Meant To Be’, a mellow jazz track about a romance that perseveres in the face of time and distance. The digital record also includes a cappella and instrumental versions of ‘GPT’.
It marks their first music since they released their first studio album ‘Metamorphosis’ in July, led by title track ‘Cheeky Icy Thang’. The album included a total of 14 tracks, including the girl group’s first unit and solo tracks.
In a four-star review of the album, NME’s Gladys Yeo wrote: “While not every song hits it out of the park, the record succeeds in showcasing the girl group’s impressive range, and more than proves STAYC’s timeless charm and staying power.”
Prior to the release of ‘Metamorphic’, they also released a remake of TWICE’s hit single ‘Fancy’ for Spotify Singles this March. “As we were embarking on our journey to become artists, we always respected what they have done and also we wanted to emulate them,” the group said of TWICE in an interview with NME.
