Grammy-nominated girl group KATSEYE said Wednesday they will release a new single titled "Pinky Up" this April.

Slated for release on April 9, the song "expands the world KATSEYE has been building: confident, playful, and always pushing pop forward," according to a notice on the group's Weverse community.

"Pinky Up" follows another single, "Internet Girl," which the sextet dropped in January.

KATSEYE — led by Filipino singer Sophia Laforteza alongside American members Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, and Megan Skiendiel; Korean member Yoonchae Jeung; and Swiss member Manon Bannerman — was formed through the 2023 reality competition series "The Debut: Dream Academy."

Since their debut in 2024, the group has seen a rapid rise in popularity, propelled by hit songs such as "Touch," "Gnarly" and "Gabriela."

Earlier this year, the group scored two nominations at the 68th Grammy Awards: Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Gabriela."

In February, Manon took a hiatus from the group "to focus on her health and wellbeing."

During their guest apperance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" in February, the group also teased that they were "preparing for a lot this coming year."
