The buzz around them began on September 30, when EVA Entertainment teased the new group on Instagram. The members were introduced one by one in early October, leading up to the release of their debut album schedule.

Members Yujin, Yuisa, Sia, Chaehyun, Rena, Ari, and Reo each bring diverse talents to the septet. While not much is known about them yet, some of the members have previously appeared in public. Yujin, for example, was previously part of ALLS-GIRL and LIPBUBBLE, Yuisa and Rena were members of the Japanese girl group ERG, and Rena also had affiliations with SunRisa and Questy.

Their bold debut song, “Independent Woman,” is a celebration of women’s empowerment and freedom, going against societal expectations. The lyrics touch on the themes of self-determination and resilience, encouraging women to live life on their own terms, unbothered by others’ opinions or judgments.

It’s a feeling of euphoria

It’s a feeling of euphoria

Independent woman

Don’t let anyone stop you

— “Independent Woman” lyrics

In the song, the girls sing about breaking free from a monotonous life filled with judgmental eyes and express a strong desire for independence. The chorus and the rest of the song reinforce this message of empowerment and ambition, with lines that encourage living life to the fullest and reaching for one’s dreams.

It’s a feeling of euphoria

It’s a feeling of euphoria

Independent woman

Nobody can stop me now

— “Independent Woman” lyrics

Interestingly, the phrase “you’re gone” in the song suggests a break from a past relationship or toxic influences, underlining the theme of self-reliance and moving forward. The song also calls for surrounding oneself with supportive, like-minded individuals and emphasizes the joy of being an “independent woman” through its post-chorus.

The bridge of the song, with its repeated line “Nobody can stop me now,” further emphasizes the message of unstoppable self-determination and belief in oneself.

Netizens have shown their appreciation for eite’s feminist narrative, lauding the group for bringing a refreshing and empowering message to the K-Pop scene, especially from a new or “nugu” group. “Independent Woman” not only showcases their musical talents but also delivers a strong, relatable message that has clearly resonated with many, marking a promising start for the group’s ambitious career in the industry.
