HYBE Idol Drops Self-Produced Track, Sparks Heated Response
KATSEYE member Lara has left a strong impression on fans with her recent self-produced song.
Apart from being a gifted vocalist, Lara is also known for her impeccable skills as a songwriter and producer, and has several unreleased demos floating on the internet.
Recently, Lara shared yet another self-produced song with her fans. She mentioned that it was made “for fun” while she was playing around in the studio with fellow member Megan, her sister Rhea Raj, and her friends Slushpuppy and Alice.
Lara shares a song that she made for KATSEYE while messing around in the studio with friends:

While Lara is known for her strong R&B foundation, the track she revealed had a heavy rock sound. Though she mentioned that she wrote the song for KATSEYE, she also clarified that the song was not a spoiler or a part of the group’s official release plan.

Fans, however, immediately expressed that they wanted songs like this to be part of KATSEYE’s official discography. Many dubbed the track as the better version of “Internet Girl” and demanded that Lara and the other KATSEYE members be given control of their discography rather than external producers.
