## Background and release

[edit]

On December 1, 2024, Starship announced that Ive would be releasing new music in January 2025.[1] On December 24, Ive's third EP, Ive Empathy, was announced to be released on February 3, 2025, following the release of its first single on January 13.[2] A day later, during Ive's performance at the 2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon, a short audio clip of the single was unveiled.[3] The single's title, "Rebel Heart", was announced on December 28.[4] The following day, as a response to the Jeju Air Flight 2216 crash, Starship announced that the release of promotional material for the EP would be postponed to later dates.[5]

On January 5, 2025, an updated promotion schedule was unveiled, with some planned promotional material removed. Later that same day, a concept trailer for the EP was released.[6] Concept photos were released from January 5 to 11.[7][8][9][10][11] "Rebel Heart", alongside its music video, was released on January 13.[12] The EP's track listing was unveiled a day later, with the second single announced as "Attitude".[13] A concept film for "Attitude" was released on January 26, presenting the members in a room resembling a typical home with unusual situations, while a piece of oldie music plays in the foreground.[14]
