KATSEYE is fully in “TOUCH” as a girl group, as the six-member squad took the stage on The Kelly Clarkson show on Wednesday (Oct. 23) to perform their latest hit.

The group delivered the track out of the studio, on a rooftop against the Los Angeles skyline, dressed in coordinating pastel outfits and go-go boots. “You been so out of touch, touch, touch, touch, touch/ Thought about you way too much, much, much, much, much/ Over, over thinking us, us, us, us, us/ ‘Cause you been so out of touch,” they sing in the instantly catchy chorus as they delivered in-sync choreography.

“It’s such a beautiful song. We all love it,” KATSEYE’s Daniela previously told Billboard of “TOUCH,” which is featured on their recent EP, SIS (Soft Is Strong). “The song itself is like our softer side and it shows complexity of love. Filming the whole music video was such an amazing experience and recording as well. It’s ethereal and shows our softer side, but we can tap into our fierceness and our self-confidence too.”

The K-pop-inspired international girl group featuring members Sophia, Manon, Daniela, Lara, Megan and Yoonchae, were formed as part of the competition series The Debut: Dream Academy, and while they only debuted back in June, they’ve already established an impressively dedicated fanbase, known as the EYEKONS.

I’m grateful to help preserve that independent spirit, and especially proud to champion such incredible art with the same passion and belief as the artists creating it.”
