"Toxic" (stylized in all-caps) is the second digital single by MEOVV. It was released on November 18, 2024 with "Toxic" and "Body" serving as the single's double title tracks.

Background[]

On November 8, 2024, a teaser was posted to the group's social medias featuring potential song lyrics with the hashtag 'Toxic' and the caption 'You Have a New Message'. Moreover, in an earlier video of member Narin covering Amy Winehouse's song "Valerie", she can be heard singing the lyrics later featured in the teaser.^[1] Three days later, the group revealed a teaser poster with the text 'Body', further hinting at a potential comeback.^[2]

On November 12, the group confirmed plans for their first comeback with their second single, slated to be released on November 18.^[2]

Composition[]

"Toxic" is described as a Pop R&B song that highlights its minimal rhythm and the unique vocal tones of the MEOVV members. Even in the midst of a dangerous whirlwind of emotions, the song's honest and delicate lyrics express a heart that cannot easily escape, increasing the immersion of the song.^[3]

Featuring powerful chanting and a repetitive, addictive chorus, "Body" is a song where you can feel MEOVV's confident ambition and intense energy. It captures MEOVV's gaze as they take a bigger leap toward the world with an attitude that is already prepared. The dynamic beats and raps throughout the song continue the trendiness.^[3]
