IVE's Special Songs Outside Regular Activities

Discovering Another IVE Through Ads, Collaborations, Japanese Projects, and OSTs

IVE's discography doesn't just end with their Korean comeback albums. In their Japanese original songs, anime theme songs, brand projects, and tracks remade in different languages, you can explore a different length and vibe compared to their regular activities. From the low rhythm of 'WAVE' to the fast progression of 'Will', and the dreamy space of 'LUCID DREAM', their choices outside of regular activities are quite diverse.

This list is not merely a collection of simple adaptations; it examines how the project's purpose brings about changes in the music. Let's listen to them alongside the title tracks from that time and see how the power of their vocals, the length of the choruses, and the target of the visuals differ. Only officially released audio sources are used, while one-time stage performances and fan-generated tracks without clear sources are excluded.
IVE - All Night

IVE - All Night

Tracks outside regular comebacks start with a collaboration partner and project purpose. IVE - All Night is a track released in 2024. Released as a collaboration single, it showcases a different production purpose and combination from regular album activities. For this reason, it’s worth focusing on the first four bars of the intro in this list. Since it's the opening piece of the collection, it sets the standard before the subsequent items. Instead of measuring whether the start is too strong or weak, we look for clues that help understand the flow that follows. Don't judge solely by the title or ranking; rather, select the most immediate sounds from the first play and the supporting elements that follow.

Listen to it alongside Korean tracks from the same period, and identify variations in language, chorus length, and vocal distribution. Particularly in this section, it is useful to verify the unique arrangement and vocal combinations of the project in the first four bars of the intro. Count the bass and drums for the first 15 seconds, and listen to how the previously empty space fills in as the vocals enter in the next 15 seconds. Observe if the intensity is maintained through to the chorus. The runtime is 3:17, and briefly note when the observed changes appear. If there’s an official video attached, don’t just watch the edited close-ups; check whether the visuals and formations move with the timing of the vocal changes.

Instead of labels like advertisements or OSTs, we retain the combinations that have been newly attempted in the actual audio. In collaboration tracks, the presence of the partner artist affects the experience; for campaign songs, the immediate and bright delivery plays a role, while for OSTs, the scene's tempo influences the choice of music. Rather than just listing project names, confirm the differences that the project’s purpose leaves in the actual listening experience. Being the first among a total of eight also contributes to the enjoyment. After connecting the last sound of the previous item with the start of IVE - All Night, return to the original order of tracks on the album as well. If the same sections sound different in both contexts, you've identified the effect of curation.

IVE - Supernova Love

IVE - Supernova Love

Tracks outside regular comebacks start with a collaboration partner and project purpose. IVE - Supernova Love is a track released in 2024. Released as a collaboration single with David Guetta, it showcases a different production purpose and combination from regular album activities. For this reason, it’s worth focusing on the tone changes in the first verse in this list. The second spot checks or contrasts impressions gathered from the first item. Identify a common instrument and a changed vocal treatment; noting these can help you move beyond a simplistic impression of similarity. Don’t just judge by the title or ranking; instead, select the closest sounds from the first play and the supporting elements that follow.

Listen to it alongside Korean tracks from the same period, and identify variations in language, chorus length, and vocal distribution.

The temperature differences caused by pronunciation, even with the same melody, are the core of this item. The runtime is 3:19, and briefly note when the observed changes appear. If there’s an official video attached, don’t just watch the edited close-ups; check whether the visuals and formations move with the timing of the vocal changes.

Don’t just judge by the title or ranking; select the closest sounds from the first play and the supporting elements that follow.

Particularly in this section, it is useful to verify the unique arrangement and vocal combinations of the project in the tension of the pre-chorus.

After the chorus starts, immediately check whether your expectations were met. The runtime is 3:00, and briefly note when the observed changes appear.

Tracks outside regular comebacks start with a collaboration partner and project purpose. IVE - Will is a track released in 2024 as part of ALIVE. It is a Japanese original song. The hopeful melody and straightforward progression convey a resolve to move forward at the pace of an anime theme song. For this reason, it’s worth focusing on the changes in the second verse in this list. As we enter the middle of the collection, the mood needs to be invigorated. Even if the tempo is similar to the previous track, check whether the distance of the vocals or the texture of the instruments differs to ensure the flow doesn't feel stagnant.

IVE - DARE ME

Tracks outside regular comebacks start with a collaboration partner and project purpose. IVE - DARE ME is a track released in 2025 as part of Be Alright. It is a Japanese original song. The clear rhythm and challenging title create a bold attitude that moves forward rather than waiting for a response. For this reason, it’s worth focusing on the role of the bridge in this list.

IVE - WAVE

IVE - WAVE

Tracks outside regular comebacks start with a collaboration partner and project purpose. IVE - WAVE is a track released in 2023 as a title song from the WAVE EP. The low, swaying bass and assertive Japanese hook elegantly express a captivating ebb and flow like waves. For this reason, it’s worth focusing on the overlaps in the final chorus in this list. The first position in the latter half is good for adding exceptions to the previous rules. Look for one element that deviates from the familiar formula and explain how it broadens the team's scope. Don’t just judge by the title or ranking; select the closest sounds from the first play and the supporting elements that follow.

IVE - CRUSH

IVE - CRUSH

Outside of regular comebacks, the song's partner and project purpose serve as the starting point. IVE - CRUSH is a track set to be released on ALIVE in 2024, and it's the title song of the Japanese EP. Its bright and bouncy pop sound transforms the unhidden feelings of affection into lively movements. Because of this, it’s worth focusing on the echoes of the outro in this list. The eighth track alters its texture to prevent similar impressions from accumulating. To clarify the intent behind the arrangement, pick an element that is most distant from the previous song. Don’t judge solely based on the title or ranking; instead, select the sound closest to the first play and the supporting elements that follow it.

Listen to it along with other Korean activity songs from the same period and search for changes in language, chorus length, and vocal distribution. In this item, especially checking the unique arrangement and vocal combination of the project in the 'outro echoes' proves useful. After the last note fades, wait for 2 seconds quietly. Depending on whether it closes firmly, leaves an echo, or immediately calls for the next track, you can gauge its role in the album. The playback length is 3:29, and briefly note at which point you observed changes. If there’s an official video linked, don’t just look at the edited close-ups, but check if the gaze and arrangement shift with the rhythm of the changing voices.

Leave behind the labels of commercials or OSTs, and based on the newly attempted combinations in the actual sound source. In collaborative tracks, the presence of the partner artist, in campaign songs, the bright and immediate delivery, and in OSTs, the speed of the scenes influence music choices. Instead of merely listing the project names, confirm the differences that their purposes leave in actual listening experiences. The eighth position out of a total of eight is part of the appreciation. After connecting the last sound of the previous item with the beginning of IVE - CRUSH, let’s also revisit it in its original sequence on ALIVE. If the same part sounds different in both contexts, then you’ve found the effect created by the curation.

Listening to these eight tracks reveals that special projects are not just appendices to their main activities, but rather experimental spaces where IVE meets different audiences and scenes. The tracks that follow the fast narratives of anime, those that capture a bright energy from brands, and those that embrace the breath of the Japanese language bring out the timbres and rhythms that were briefly shown in their Korean albums.

If you find a song you like, try listening to it alongside the Korean songs released around the same time. Even if the production purpose differs, identifying the consistent traits of IVE alongside new elements changes in line with the project makes the differences clearer. Playing special tracks before their familiar hits is also a great way to understand the team's scope from a new perspective.
