The leak immediately invited scathing backlash, with some even saying that it would be better to disband KATSEYE than have them release this song.

Some fans reached out to the original songwriter, Brooke Candy, on social media to request confirmation. She responded by debunking the rumors, clarifying that it was shelved demo from ten years ago and was definitely not going to be released by KATSEYE.

in regards to this, it’s clear y’all don’t know how the music industry works.
Brooke l doesn’t own the rights to the songs she wrote while with RCA records years ago. They could’ve sold the song to Hybe x Geffin clearly without telling Brooke (cause they don’t have to) https://t.co/58l3aGpGAF
