AtHeart Single – Say It (2026)

AtHeart Single – Say It was released on June 25, 2026, at 1 PM KST, featuring the title track “Say It.”

Say It marks the beginning of AtHeart’s TIME TRAVEL PROJECT, a global remake series that reimagines beloved songs from 1996 through the group’s own contemporary style. Designed to connect listeners across generations, the project brings timeless classics into the present while preserving the emotional appeal that made them memorable. For its first release, AtHeart revisits The Cardigans’ worldwide hit “Lovefool,” originally released in 1996 and widely recognized through the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack.

Rather than simply remaking the original, Say It transforms its iconic melody into a groove-driven pop track with a fresh, danceable sound. Funk-inspired basslines, rhythmic beats, and vibrant synth textures update the song while maintaining the familiar melodic elements that made the original so recognizable. The result is a modern interpretation that blends nostalgia with AtHeart’s youthful musical identity.

The single also reflects the personalities of the group’s seven members, delivering a confident message about being honest with one’s feelings. Instead of lingering in uncertainty, the lyrics encourage expressing emotions directly, replacing hesitation with confidence. The repeated “Say It” chorus highlights the members’ different vocal colors coming together as one, reinforcing the song’s energetic atmosphere and its message of choosing straightforward honesty over emotional games.
