Two-time GRAMMY®-nominated global girl group KATSEYE returns with “Animal,” a bold, flirtatious pop anthem that celebrates embracing one’s wild side. Co-written by Ed Sheeran, the song explores the tension between the polished versions of ourselves we present to the world and the uninhibited energy that emerges behind closed doors.
With playful verses, magnetic vocals and irresistible pop production, KATSEYE transforms secrecy, attraction and impulse into something empowering and alluring. The track was produced by Omer Fedi and Blake Slatkin, known for their work with The Kid Laroi, Justin Bieber, Sam Smith and Lil Nas X, among others.
The cinematic official video for “Animal” unfolds within a world of observation rooms, mirrored realities, and shifting personas as the members of KATSEYE move between feminine and masculine archetypes, blurring the boundaries between observer and observed. Dynamic choreography, striking styling, and surreal imagery heighten the tension between instinct and control, bringing the song’s themes to life. Directed by Cody Critcheloe, who also helmed KATSEYE’s “Gnarly” and “Touch” videos, the visual features a special cameo from Academy Award-nominated actress, producer, and New York Times bestselling author Demi Moore. Reflecting on the collaboration, member Megan shared, “Animal is out now! The song is awesome! The video is awesome! Demi Moore is awesome! EYEKONS ARE AWESOME! 😽😽😽😽🖤🖤🖤” describing the experience of working with Demi Moore as a memorable highlight for the group. The video premiered across MTV Live, MTVU, and Paramount’s Times Square billboards, marking another striking visual chapter in KATSEYE’s evolving creative universe.
