The Surprise Announcement

On October 17, 2025, ITZY dropped a bombshell on their fans, MIDZY, by releasing a cinematic two-minute trailer, complete tracklist, and detailed promotional scheduler for "TUNNEL VISION."

2. "Tunnel Vision" (Title Track) - The centerpiece that embodies the album's theme
3. "D.Y.T" - A mysterious addition to the tracklist
4. "Flicker" - Suggesting moments of light and shadow
5. "Nocturne" - Hinting at a darker, more atmospheric sound
6. "8-Bit Heart" - Closing with what promises to be a unique sonic experience
