Kill My Doubt
Kill My Doubt (stylized in all caps) is the seventh extended play (EP) by South Korean girl group Itzy, released on July 31, 2023, through JYP Entertainment, and Republic Records, eight months following the release of Cheshire (2022).
Inspired by the conversations shared by the members and their company following the release of Cheshire, Kill My Doubt lyrically revolves around the message of overcoming adversity and self-doubt. The EP comprises six tracks and is supported by the lead single "Cake". The release of the EP was preceded by music videos for album tracks "Bet on Me" and "None of My Business". Commercially, Kill My Doubt debuted at number one on South Korea's Circle Album Chart with 1,299,329 copies sold in the first week of release, becoming Itzy's sixth number-one album on the chart. In October 2023, the EP was certified Million by the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA) for surpassing 1,000,000 copies sold, the group's third million-seller album.
In 2022, Itzy released their fifth and sixth extended plays. Checkmate, their fifth EP, was released on July 15 and was accompanied by a world tour of the same name, which ran from August 2022 to April 2023. While on tour, Itzy released their sixth EP, Cheshire, on November 30.
While both releases were met with commercial success, "Sneakers", the lead single of Checkmate, was subject to criticism and contention, in contrast to positive reception received by the album's B-side tracks. Meanwhile, Cheshire was seen as a "mature update" to the quintet's sound, though the pre-release single "Boys Like You" was criticized by media outlets such as NME, for having "painfully juvenile" lyrics.
Following the release of Cheshire, the quintet began working on their next release. Such plans were first revealed by member Chaeryeong in an interview with the American morning program Good Day New York on May 22, 2023. On June 18, Sports Chosun reported that Itzy would release new music in the summer, which would mark their first release in over seven months. The following day, fans sent trucks bearing protest messages to the headquarters of JYP Entertainment demanding better treatment and promotion of the group. Soon thereafter, JYP Entertainment announced the group's seventh extended play, titled Kill My Doubt, through a teaser trailer. The trailer was followed by the release of the EP's track list and details of the promotion schedule. Amid the promotions for the EP, the protests continued.
"It is a story about what to do when you are most anxious and how to overcome it when it is the most difficult. Kill My Doubt is an album made based on the conversations we had at that time."
Kill My Doubt has runtime of 17 minutes and 41 seconds and consists of six tracks. Thematically, the album revolves around the message of overcoming adversity. In an interview with W Korea, member Lia explained that the EP was derived on conversations from the one-on-one interviews between the members and the company's production team during the post-production phase of Cheshire. Member Yuna added that the EP intends to "deliver the message that we should overcome and regain our confidence".
A variety of songwriters were involved in the writing of the extended play, including Black Eyed Pilseung, who had previously worked with Twice, and Park Jin-young.
