Not Shy
Not Shy is the third extended play by South Korean girl group Itzy. It was released on August 17, 2020, by JYP Entertainment. It is available in three versions and contains six tracks, including the lead single of the same name. The EP marks a growth in music production and collaboration as they tap known hitmakers such as SM Entertainment songwriter Kenzie and producers LDN Noise. Musically, Not Shy is a K-pop record that contains influences of pop rock and hip hop.
The album received positive reviews from critics, who commended Itzy's departure from themes of independence and self-love to the theme of love. Upon its release, Not Shy debuted at the top spot of the Gaon Albums Chart and went on to sell almost 206,280 copies on its first month of release in South Korea. The album also charted in Japan, Poland and the United States, peaking at number 8 on the Billboard World Albums chart.
On December 22, 2021, Itzy's English debut extended play Not Shy (English Version) was released. It included English versions of "Not Shy" and previous title tracks "Dalla Dalla", "Icy", and "Wannabe".
"“It is true that ITZY is in the middle of comeback preparations. We will announce the official schedule at a later date.”"
On June 22, 2020, it was announced that Itzy was preparing for a comeback. On July 31, Itzy released a preview of the physical Not Shy EP, and on August 3, they shared a teaser image for the comeback. On August 10, the group unveiled the track list for the EP. The music video teaser was then released on August 12, and the highlight medley released soon after on August 16. Not Shy officially released on August 17, 2020, through several music portals including iTunes and Spotify.
The album zeroes in on the K-pop quintet's teenage years under the limelight while shouting out their loyal fans who've stood by them. Musically, Not Shy is a K-pop record that contains influences of pop-rock and hip-hop. The EP also marks a growth in music production and collaboration as they tap known K-pop hitmakers such as SM Entertainment songwriter Kenzie and producers LDN Noise.
The title track blends braggadocious hip-hop and pop production. The second track "Don't Give A What", is a fun pop-rock song that has a catchy hook. The song marks as a natural progression in this feminist theme. "SURF" is a song with a funky bassline. "ID" marks a chord progression for Itzy. "Be in Love" is Itzy's first slower vocally-focused song with a guitar melody.
Not Shy was released as the lead single from the album on August 17, 2020. Itzy became one of the only two girl groups (the other being Blackpink), to appear on both the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excl. US Charts, peaking at number 124 and 70 respectively. "Not Shy" also reached the top-ten in South Korea, Singapore and Malaysia. The song went on to win a total of 5 music show wins - 1 on Show Champion and Music Bank, and 3 on MCountdown, briefly tying Itzy with Blackpink for the most wins by a girl group in 2020 with 13 accumulative wins.
