XLOV Reveals Tracklist for Third Mini Album ‘i=!’ Featuring Two Title Tracks and New Unit Pairings
October 1, 2026
XLOV is returning with a third mini album featuring two title tracks and newly paired unit songs. With members contributing lyrics and compositions, the release promises a fresh look at the group’s musical identity.
XLOV unveiled the tracklist for ‘i=!’ on its official social media channels on September 30. The group, comprising Wumuti, Rui, Hyun and Haru, will release the album on October 28 at 6 p.m., roughly five months after its second mini album, ‘I,God,’ arrived in May.
The eight-track album is led by the title tracks ‘Hush’ and ‘Tooth Gem Chihuahua.’ It also includes ‘Cat Move,’ ‘All Tied Up,’ ‘Silence,’ ‘Tooth Gem Chihuahua (Sped Up),’ ‘Hush (Instrumental)’ and ‘Tooth Gem Chihuahua (Instrumental).’
The members’ songwriting contributions are another highlight. Wumuti helped compose ‘Hush’ and contributed both lyrics and composition to ‘Tooth Gem Chihuahua.’ He also wrote lyrics for ‘All Tied Up’ and helped compose ‘Silence,’ while Hyun contributed lyrics to ‘Silence.’ Their involvement spans both title tracks and the unit songs.
The album introduces new unit pairings: Rui and Haru perform ‘All Tied Up,’ while Wumuti and Hyun team up for ‘Silence.’ According to TenAsia, the previous album, ‘I,God,’ paired Wumuti and Rui on ‘Extancy’ and Hyun and Haru on ‘HIPS.’ This time, the members switch partners, with Wumuti and Hyun also contributing composition and lyrics, respectively, to their shared track.
The new release also continues the story explored in ‘I,God.’ That album drew on the chess rule of pawn promotion to tell a story of growth: even the weakest piece can become what it wants to be upon reaching the final square. ‘i=!’ carries that narrative forward with themes connected to pawn promotion.
XLOV has made a gender-free approach central to its identity. TenAsia described this as a commitment to expressing themselves without distinctions or restrictions based on gender, reflected in their music, performances, clothing and makeup. The group plans to continue building on that identity with the new album.
XLOV’s third mini album, ‘i=!,’ will be available on music streaming platforms on October 28 at 6 p.m.
