This new release comes under SM Entertainment, and fans have been waiting for it for a while. The medley video started with the track What’s Your Problem?, which brings back the 90s vibe with a modern twist. The song blends old-school hip-hop and R&B with a fresh sound. The vibe is smooth but also catchy. Right after that, the medley moves into Irresistible, which has a mysterious feel. The vocals are calm and emotional, giving the song a dreamy tone.
The third song in the preview is Girl Next Door. It has a bold rhythm and a strong beat. The energy in this one stands out. Then comes Trampoline. This track feels lighter and more airy, with a clean and flowing sound. It’s the kind of song you’d want to listen to while driving or relaxing.
Heaven follows next. This one keeps things soft and emotional, with a slow groove and a gentle mood. Finally, the medley ends with the title track TILT. It gives a strong closing impression, hinting at an emotional yet powerful sound that shows a new side of the duo. Each track has its own color, and together they show how Irene & Seulgi are growing as artists.
