The music video offers a vibrant introduction to the group’s artistic identity, blending a youthful energy with a fresh, nature-inspired aesthetic.

Their interactions with animals further emphasize the organic and carefree spirit of the video, setting KiiiKiii apart from the polished, urban visuals often seen in K-pop.
“I DO ME” embraces upbeat tempos, catchy melodies, and a dynamic arrangement that showcases each member’s vocal strength. The track exudes a danceable, feel-good energy that perfectly complements the group’s Gen Z-inspired aesthetic.
The lyrics reinforce this youthful, self-assured theme, with lines like “A butterfly at my fingertips, that’s my living ring / No worries, no, I shine more like myself” and “Sleepless nights, I look at the moonlight / Maybe, I’m a strange child.” The song not only highlights KiiiKiii’s individuality but also sets an exciting tone for their upcoming debut.

Unlike the sharp, intricate choreography that many K-pop groups are known for, KiiiKiii’s movements are noticeably looser and more carefree, aligning with the song’s lighthearted energy. This relaxed choreography reinforces the group’s emphasis on authenticity and self-expression, giving them a unique edge as they prepare to officially debut.
KiiiKiii’s upcoming EP, featuring six tracks, has its full tracklist available on the group’s official website:
- DEBUT SONG
- GROUNDWORK
- I DO ME
- THERE THEY GO
