It is a single-sided record: all five songs play from side A, and side B carries a custom etching with no audio. The jacket is a gatefold with two pockets and a custom-designed inner sleeve. Each copy includes two photocards drawn at random from a set of five, one card per member, each double-sided with images from the Wild World and Wild Heart vinyl versions. The standard vinyl edition was pressed on Precious Jade colored vinyl, so the aquamarine disc marks this copy as the indie release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWILD was released on August 14, 2026, through Hybe UMG and Geffen Records, and became the group's first number one on the Billboard 200. It opened with 170,000 equivalent album units in the US, 145,000 of them pure sales, the biggest week for a girl group since the chart began counting equivalent units in 2015. Billboard credited much of that total to more than thirty CD and vinyl variants carrying collectible items. The EP also reached number one in Belgium and the Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe five songs run 13 minutes and 35 seconds. \"Pinky Up,\" the lead single, arrived on April 9 ahead of the group's Coachella set; it samples Da Hool's \"Meet Her at the Love Parade,\" and its video was directed by Bardia Zeinali. \"Animal\" was written by Ed Sheeran and Johnny McDaid and produced by Omer Fedi and Blake Slatkin. \"Hootie Frutti,\" the third single, sets Brazilian funk against lines sung in Portuguese. \"Bel Air\" dates to 2013, when Charli XCX and Noonie Bao wrote it for her album Sucker before it was cut. Chris Gehringer mastered all five tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKATSEYE was assembled through The Debut: Dream Academy, a Hybe and Geffen Records competition series that concluded in November 2023, and is based in Los Angeles. WILD features five of the group's six members; Manon Bannerman began a hiatus from the group in February 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePinky Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnimal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHootie Frutti\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBel Air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEtched side, no audio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*** Indie Exclusive ***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 199957676267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bighit Music \/ Hybe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.14.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bighit Music \/ Hybe","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67438547665054,"sku":"199957676267","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/4510609-3681960_d09dc619-b311-4389-b1c0-6798fb00857c.jpg?v=1790626300","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/katseye-wild-indie-exclusive-aquamarine-vinyl","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
