Ive rose to greater prominence with their 2022 single "Love Dive", which charted at number one on the Circle Digital Chart, became the best-performing single of the year, and won Song of the Year at the Asia Artist Awards, Golden Disc Awards, MAMA Awards, and Melon Music Awards. The group's name, IVE, is a contraction for "I have". It alludes to the idea of showing what "I have" to the audience with confidence, where instead of telling the story of growth, the group tries to portray a "complete girl group" from the start.

저 날씨처럼 바뀔지
날 나조차 다 알 수 없으니 (나나나나나나)
그게 뭐가 중요하니
지금 네게 완전히
푹 빠졌단 게 중요한 거지 (나나나나나나)
아마 꿈만 같겠지만 분명 꿈이 아니야
달리 설명할 수 없는 이건 사랑일거야
방금 내가 말한 감정 감히 의심하지 마
그냥 좋다는 게 아냐 (what's after 'Like'?)
You and I
It's more than 'Like'
L 다음 또 O 다음 난 yeah, yeah, yeah
You and I
It's more than 'Like' (like)
What's after 'Like'?
What's after 'Like'?
조심해 두 심장에 핀
새파란 이 불꽃이
저 태양보다 뜨거울 테니 (나나나나나)
난 저 위로 또 아래로
내 그래프는 폭이 커
Yeah, that's me (yeah, that's me)
두 번 세 번 피곤하게 자꾸 질문하지 마
내 장점이 뭔지 알아? 바로 솔직한 거야
방금 내가 말한 감정 감히 의심하지 마 (우우우우우)
그냥 좋다는 게 아냐 what's after 'Like'?
You and I
It's more than 'Like'
L 다음 또 O 다음 난 yeah, yeah, yeah
You and I
It's more than 'Like'
What's after 'Like'?
What's after 'Like'?
What after like 내 맘에 strike
지금 느낀 짜릿함은 마치 tike
L-O 다음에 I 그 다음에 V-E
여긴 너와 내 space 아무도 막지 못해
나를 보면 눈 깜빡할
시간조차도 아까울 걸
드디어 만나 반가워 (what's after 'Like'?)
L-O-V-E 사이 놓일 I (what's after 'Like'?)
You and I
It's more than 'Like'
E 앞 또 V 앞 난 yeah, yeah, yeah
You and I
It's more than 'Like' (like)
What's after 'Like'?
You and I
It's more than 'Like'
L 다음 또 O 다음 난 yeah, yeah, yeah
You and I
It's more than 'Like' (like)
What's after 'Like'?
What's after 'Like'?
The lyrics of IVE's song "After LIKE" talk about the uncertainty and excitement that come with falling in love. The singer is unsure if their feelings will change like the weather, but they know that what's important is that they have completely fallen for the person they are singing to. The singer is convinced that it's not just a dream but a real feeling that cannot be explained. The line "what's after 'Like'?" is a rhetorical question that suggests that the feeling goes beyond just liking someone and hints at the possibility of love.
The second verse further emphasizes the depth of the singer's feelings. The blue flame in their heart burns hotter than the sun, and their emotional graph has a wide range. They talk about their strengths being honesty and being able to express their emotions as they are without fear of being misunderstood. The bridge shifts the focus to the physical sensation of falling in love, likening it to a thrilling ride that tingles all over the body. The chorus repeats, reiterating that what they have is more than just merely liking someone and encouraging the listener to wonder what comes after that feeling.
Overall, "After LIKE" is a song that captures the excitement of falling in love and how it can feel like an inexplicable force. The lyrics reflect the emotional journey that comes with discovering romantic feelings, from uncertainty to excitement.
