Two-time GRAMMY®-nominated global girl group KATSEYE returns with “Animal,” a flirtatious pop anthem that embraces one’s wild side. Co-written by Ed Sheeran, the track turns secrecy and attraction into something bold, playful, and empowering. But while its infectious chorus is enough to get stuck in your head, it’s the music video that transforms “Animal” into a full-fledged pop spectacle—one packed with star power, clever details, and fashion moments worth revisiting.
RELATED: 3 Reasons Why We’re Loving KATSEYE’s Newest Covers
Demi Moore Brings the Boss Energy
One of the video’s biggest surprises is the appearance of critically acclaimed actress Demi Moore. In a standout walk-in closet scene, she commands the room as she directs the members of KATSEYE on what to wear, effortlessly embodying power and sophistication. It’s a brief cameo, but one that instantly elevates the video’s glamorous, high-fashion fantasy.
Jollibee Makes a Scene
Filipino fans have long championed KATSEYE, especially Sophia since her Pop Star Academy days. Recently named a global ambassador for Jollibee, the Filipino favorite brings another nod to home as the beloved fast-food brand makes a subtle appearance in the music video, serving as the boardroom’s snack of choice. It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it detail, but one that Filipino fans were quick to celebrate—and another reason the video rewards repeat watches.
Fashion Takes Center Stage
“Animal” marks a noticeable shift from the rebellious chaos of “Gnarly” and the playful confidence of “Pinky Up.” This time, KATSEYE leans into a more refined and sultry aesthetic, one that feels polished without losing its edge. Crimson dresses channel femme fatale glamour, sleek black ensembles reinforce the song’s confident attitude, while sharp tailoring and suits give the group an air of authority. Even Lara’s unexpected plumber look injects a playful twist into the video’s otherwise luxurious world. Every outfit feels intentional, reinforcing the group’s most fashion-forward era yet.
KATSEYE has grown more confident with every release, both musically and visually, and “Animal” may be their strongest statement yet. Every replay reveals another detail—and it’s exactly what a great pop music video should do: keep audiences coming back for more. And with their EP Wild arriving on August 12, “Animal” feels less like a standalone single and more like the exciting beginning of KATSEYE’s next chapter.
