The ITZY members have gradually unfurled their solo debuts over the past two years. 2025 saw the release of Yeji’s first album, while Yuna made her solo debut earlier this year. Next up is Chaeryeong, who is often referred to as one of the most skilled dancers of her generation. Because of this, her own music kind of needs to adhere to that brief, so it’s no surprise that Lovesick is an uncomplicated, upbeat bop.

What we have here is a frothy dance track, not entirely dissimilar from the group’s excellent Motto earlier this year. Lovesick never finds a chorus nearly as sticky, but pinwheels with plenty of optimistic energy. I like the sound of the song more than the song itself, especially during the verses. The beat carries plenty of drive, hinting at a big electro banger than never quite materializes.

Instead, Lovesick‘s chorus opts for an easy, breezy style that’s pleasant but too much of a bunt when it could have gone full swing. There’s an easy-listening quality to this centerpiece, capitalizing on Chaeryeong’s natural charm while keeping things pretty safe and melodically flat. Lovesick will be a nice addition to any upbeat playlist, but doesn’t steal much attention on its own. I imagine the live performances (and especially the choreography) will be more compelling.

Grade: C+
