The song also entered Spotify’s Daily Top Songs charts in the US, UK, South Korea, Japan, and several Southeast Asian countries, gaining widespread attention from music fans worldwide.

Domestically, Attitude continues to rise in popularity. As of February 13, the track ranked 2nd on Bugs’ real-time and daily charts, 3rd on Melon’s HOT100 (30 days), and 5th on HOT100 (100 days). Additionally, on February 14, its music video secured the top spot on YouTube Korea’s trending music videos. On February 13, IVE earned their first win for Attitude on Mnet’s M Countdown, further cementing the song’s impact in South Korea.

Message and Musical Appeal of Attitude

Attitude conveys a message about embracing unchangeable situations with a positive mindset, showcasing IVE’s unique perspective. Sampling Suzanne Vega’s Tom’s Diner, the track combines retro melodies with IVE’s confident charm, appealing to both domestic and international audiences. Its addictive tune and meaningful lyrics have made it a fan favorite.

Rebel Heart’s Achievements and Global Recognition

The album’s second title track, Rebel Heart, also achieved remarkable milestones. It secured a Perfect All-Kill on domestic charts and won nine music show awards. On the global stage, the track entered Billboard’s Global 200 and Global (Excluding the U.S.) charts for three consecutive weeks, further demonstrating IVE’s status as a global hitmaker. With the growing success of both title tracks, fans eagerly anticipate a fierce “IVE vs. IVE” competition.

Fan Reactions to IVE and the Popularity of Attitude

On February 14, IVE performed Attitude on KBS2’s Music Bank, promoting their new album. Meanwhile, Korean online communities like MLBPARK celebrated IVE’s strong chart performance. However, some fans expressed disappointment over the group’s relatively low YouTube views and Instagram followers compared to chart achievements. Others attributed this to IVE’s primary focus on South Korea and Japan rather than Southeast Asia, where fan engagement often boosts these metrics.

Financial Success and Regional Strategies

Despite this, IVE continues to excel in album sales and tour revenue in their main markets, South Korea and Japan. Their strong results in these regions highlight a strategic focus on profitability over broader social media or streaming metrics, setting IVE apart from other girl groups.
