ILLIT is no longer relying solely on a cute image. The five-member girl group has stepped away from the bright and bubbly concept it carried since debut and instead made a bold turn in the opposite direction, using its latest release to expand its musical identity. Through \u201cIt\u2019s Me,\u201d the lead track of fourth mini album \u201cMAMIHLAPINATAPAI,\u201d ILLIT has embraced a techno sound inspired by 1990s dance music and showcased a broader musical spectrum. Since debuting with \u201cMagnetic,\u201d the group had built its identity around playful and youthful tracks such as \u201cCherish,\u201d \u201cDo the Dance\u201d and \u201cNot Cute Anymore,\u201d making the latest transformation stand out even more. Initial reactions to the new concept were mixed. Some listeners said the song felt unfamiliar because it replaced the group\u2019s previous girlish image with heavy beats, fast-paced progression and dynamic performances. But the experiment ultimately paid off. Fueled by an addictive melody, powerful \u201cdopamine techno\u201d sound and eye-catching choreography, \u201cIt\u2019s Me\u201d quickly gained momentum through word of mouth<\/div>\n
