DRIFT
‘BETCHA’ kicks things off with an addictive beat and smooth progression. The track is full of rhythm and swagger — with both the rap and vocals flowing effortlessly. Each member adds their unique flair, making this a dynamic and high-impact opener.
Title track ‘Touch’ turns up the heat with early 2000s-inspired vibes, layered with sleek, modern production. It’s sexy, catchy, and dripping with confidence. The sectioning and transitions are razor-sharp, and the group’s swag is unmatched. The music video mirrors this perfectly — playful, sultry, and stylish.
Next is ‘Before We Go’, a summer-ready track drawing on Dembow rhythms with KARD’s signature twist. Groovy, refreshing, and full of Latin flavor — the ad-libs and Spanish phrases give it extra flair. A standout addition to their discography.
‘Top Down’ brings a dreamy, synth-driven sound. Ji-woo and So-min shine here with soft, expressive vocals and delicate ad-libs. It’s smooth, dreamy, and shows off a gentler side of KARD.
‘Pivot’ picks up the pace with reggaeton-meets-house beats. The pre-chorus is silky smooth, leading into a punchy, unforgettable hook. It’s effortlessly cool and packed with rhythm — a true dancefloor gem.
The EP closes with instrumental versions of ‘Touch’ and ‘Pivot’, perfect for fans wanting to fully appreciate the tight production.
‘DRIFT’ is a confident, summer-ready release — blending reggaeton, synth-pop, house, and early-2000s nostalgia with the vibrant energy only KARD can bring. This mini-album is made for movement. Add it to your playlist and hit play.
