In just over two years since their debut, the rising K-pop sensation IVE has accomplished feats that many artists aspire to achieve over a lifetime. With a stellar track record boasting multiple chart-topping hits, prestigious awards, and a string of viral moments, the sextet has firmly established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the global music scene. 

Despite their meteoric rise to fame, there remained one significant milestone awaiting their conquest: a collaboration with a major international artist—a milestone they are now poised to fulfil.

Gaeul, Yujin, Rei, Wonyoung, Liz and Leeseo have recently unveiled their highly anticipated collaboration with American rapper Saweetie on the remake of Icona Pop's iconic hit track, ‘All Night’. Infused with IVE's signature ‘girl crush’ aesthetic, the revamped rendition of 'All Night' not only stays true to the infectious energy of the original but also marks a series of significant milestones for the group. 

Notably, this collaboration stands as IVE's first major partnership with an international artist and represents their inaugural venture into the realm of full-English releases.

In the lead-up to the release of ‘All Night’, the members of IVE convened for a candid discussion, gathering around a table as the clock struck midnight in Seoul. Reflecting on their collaboration with Saweetie and their forthcoming world tour, the group offered insights into their creative process and shared their excitement for the year ahead. 

With their sights set on world domination, IVE's members—affectionately known as DIVEs by their devoted fanbase—tease tantalising hints of what's to come in 2024, leaving audiences eager to witness their continued ascent to the upper echelons of the music industry.
