However, they\u2019ve sidestepped the forgettable trend of creating music exclusively for TikTok, which is a plus, though it\u2019s layered with a uniformity that makes it sound like an off-the-shelf, over-polished product.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Produced by <strong>Omer Fedi<\/strong> and <strong>Blake Slatkin<\/strong>, the track is acceptable but is the weakest of their efforts. The most exciting thing about \u201cAnimal\u201d is the artwork and music video, which features actress <strong>Demi Moore<\/strong>. Thanks to <strong>Cody Critcheloe\u2019s direction<\/strong>, the visuals separate the group from the typical girl-band aesthetic with a sliver of artistry, though it\u2019s still not enough to lift it into memorable territory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honestly, there doesn\u2019t seem to be anything that splits the band apart from their contemporaries. Though there\u2019s <strong>a lot of talent in the tank<\/strong>, ironically, they are \u201ccookie-cutter\u201d, and the best of what they can achieve will likely come from solo projects. The takeaway is that it\u2019s a good track, but we probably won\u2019t remember it in a few years.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Release Details<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The track is taken from their upcoming EP <em><strong>WILD<\/strong><\/em>, due for release on August 14 2026 via <strong>HYBE x GEFFEN<\/strong>.
