On March 20, 2024, Sway reported that IVE recently finished recording for their upcoming comeback. On April 3, the group released a teaser for their second EP IVE Switch, set for release on April 29.

"Heya" is a song that starts with a strong rap and overwhelms the atmosphere in the chorus, conveying a variety of charms. It is an impressive song with an addictive melody that can be sung along by people of all ages, and lyrics that are reconstructed in the 2024 IVE version of the classic tale 'The Tiger Who Loved the Sun' related to the sun.

"Accendio" is described as a song that sings about the fatal emotions one faces, and the dreamy synth arpeggio sound and unique 808 bass sound create a mysterious atmosphere. The tight trap drums and break beats harmoniously combine to further complete the song.

"Blue Heart", with its sweet vocals and unique chorus harmony, is a song that lets you feel a unique emotion that IVE has never shown before. Sophisticated drum beats and heavy, powerful bass fill the sound of the song, and the diverse voices of the members come together to create a unique atmosphere. Member Jang Wonyoung wrote the lyrics, depicting a strong woman who was reborn from a red, warm heart to a blue, cold heart to survive in this era.

"Ice Queen", a song led by a dreamy synth arpeggio sound, shows a chic but confident side of IVE. It is a song that allows you to feel the group's charm. The vocal harmony paired with the addictive hook melody creates IVE's mature and unique atmosphere.

"Wow" is described as an impressive song with a cozy, vintage synthesizer and a modern, sweet vocal melody. The bright and cheerful vibe that combines the diverse voices of IVE members on a simple but rhythmic beat is attractive.

"Reset", with its unique vocal chop sound and rhythmic Afro beat, has an addictive hook and chorus. It is a song that keeps ringing in your ears. The sophisticated rhythm and heavy, grooved bass enhance the song's completeness and highlight IVE's unique charm.
