ITZY于10月15日发行迷你专辑《GOLD》和主打歌《GOLD》、《Imaginary Friend》！
2019年2月12日，凭借单曲专辑《IT'z Different》和主打歌《DALLA DALLA》如彗星般出现在歌谣界的ITZY，以雄厚的实力、强劲的表演和多样的魅力俘获了歌迷们的心，展现了作为“K-POP第四代代表女团”的存在感。最近，ITZY举行了世界巡回演唱会《ITZY 2ND WORLD TOUR
新专辑《GOLD》以“Our World is still different”为主题，讲述了如同专辑名一样灿烂夺目的ITZY的故事和音乐。ITZY以积极向上的能量、独树一帜的概念构筑了组合的独特色彩，将“我们依然不同，未来也会持续不同”的专辑传达的信息融入到了各种视觉中。在预告片里，五位成员展现了脱离典型模板的面貌，最大化地展示了她们的独特性。预告照也以大胆、独特的造型和非凡的气势，淋漓尽致地展现了ITZY的音乐色彩和个性。
此专辑是出道以来首次发行双主打歌的专辑。新专辑同名主打歌《GOLD》，将遇见“你”以后“我”的世界完全颠倒的那一刻感受到的激动心情和陌生感觉比喻为光彩夺目的“GOLD”。歌曲将强烈的电吉他声、Groovy的鼓声、808贝斯声和谐地融合在一起，突出展现了强劲的Vocal Shouting和魅力十足的说唱。《GOLD》MV讲述了寻找黄金的人们被比黄金更耀眼的ITZY所吸引的故事，且MV巧妙地为现实世界添加了非现实世界的元素，呈现出了与众不同的魅力。
另一首主打歌《Imaginary Friend》是一首复古的流行吉他、Acoustic的Band Sound、清甜的和声相融合的流行舞曲。有一天，出现在幻想中并说要守护“我”、给予“我”力量的“TA”，是天使还是恶魔，还是“我”自己。界限模糊的歌词激发了听众们的想象力，提高了聆听的趣味性。
新专辑收录了双主打歌和收录曲《Bad Girls R Us》、《Supernatural》、纪念出道5周年的粉丝颂《FIVE》、Stray Kids成员Changbin参与合作的《Feat. Changbin of Stray Kids)》、用5名成员的声音制作的上一张专辑的歌曲《BORN TO BE》、《UNTOUCHABLE》、《Mr. Vampire》、《Dynamite》、《Escalator》等共计11首歌曲。K-POP热门歌曲制造者Ryan S. Jhun、曾与众多流行歌手合作过的美国著名制作人Dem Jointz、人气作词家Jo Yoon Kyung和Bang Hye Hyun等著名创作团队参与了专辑制作，提高了专辑的完成度。特别是第6首歌，Stray Kids成员Changbin参与歌曲制作和演唱，与ITZY产生了奇妙的音乐化学反应。
光芒四射的ITZY将与新专辑《GOLD》一起继续闪耀。

这一首是融合了House Beat和Country Guitar的舞曲，独特的器乐声极具魅力。歌曲传达了“我”追随自己的内心并只做自己想做的事，因此了人们对“我”产生了偏见，但在这偏见背后，却刻画了“我”珍惜真实自我的意志。

这是一首突显低沉的贝斯和合成器声音的嘻哈体裁的歌曲。与干练的hook、重击感强的歌声形成对比的余白令人印象深刻。将“Way”（意为道路）和“V”（“W”的一半）组合起来命名的“VAY”，蕴含着“我们一直在不停地奔跑，但还没有到达道路半程，因此我们将继续向前奔跑。”的决心。Stray Kids成员Changbin参与制作并featuring，与ITZY展现出独特的协同效应。
