Rising global girl’s group, Katseye is back setting the Internet on fire with their latest single, “GABRIELA“. Produced by Andrew Watt and John Ryan, the track dropped alongside a telenovela-inspired music video starring Hollywood star, Jessica Alba. The release buzz hit to another level with 9 million views on YouTube within a week from its release.
KATSEYE kicks off an exciting new chapter with “GABRIELA”, the powerful pre-release single from their highly anticipated extended play, Beautiful Chaos, set to drop on June 27. “GABRIELA” sets the tone for what promises to be a dynamic and emotionally layered EP, offering fans a glimpse into the group’s evolving sound and fearless artistry as they continue their global rise.
Meaning Behind Katseye “GABRIELA”
While “Gnarly” introduced us to Katseye’s rebellious side — all grunge, edge, and attitude — “GABRIELA” marks a glamorous, emotionally rich transformation. The R&B track fuses Latin-infused rhythms with synth-pop melodies, delivering a sound that’s sultry, mysterious, and hypnotic. It’s a bold musical shift that shows just how versatile Katseye is shaping up to be.
“GABRIELA” deftly balances feelings of empowerment and jealousy in its lyrics, clearly portrayed in the chorus part. The title character, who symbolizes the insecurity that can infiltrate even the strongest relationships, turns into a rival who is both real and symbolic.
Hands off, Gabriela, Gabriela (Ooh)
Hands off, Gabriela-la-la (Gabriela)
Back off of my fella, Gabriela (Gabriela)
Back off, Gabriela-la-la (Gabriela)
‘Cause, ooh, you could have anyone else
You wanted to, I’m begging you
Additionally, Daniela’s Spanish-language bridge, “Él llegó conmigo y conmigo se va,” adds assertiveness and cultural flair, making GABRIELA as the group’s first song with Spanish verse.
GABRIELA’s Stunning MV Starring Jessica Alba
The “GABRIELA” music video has swiftly captured the spotlight, earning praise from both fans and critics for its cinematic flair and empowering storyline. The MV blends high-stakes drama with bold visual storytelling, featuring Jessica Alba as the fierce and stylish CEO of Gabriela Enterprises. Meanwhile, each member of KATSEYE commands the screen, stepping into their own narrative of strength, self-worth, and determination.
What truly sets the MV apart, is its polished production, eye-catching fashion, and emotionally resonant themes. It’s a bold visual statement on identity, empowerment, and the relentless pursuit to be seen and heard in a world that often demands perfection.
GABRIELA Dance Taking Over TikTok
Fans know the power of choreography — and Katseye has definitely delivered. But instead of a high-energy dance break, “Gabriela” introduces something unexpectedly fresh that’s gone viral on TikTok. Inspired by Katseye’s hypnotic single “Gabriela,” the hand-focused choreography is all about fluid, elegant finger movements paired with the lyric in the chorus. Idols and influencers across platforms have jumped in, showing off the #GabrielaDance challenge with energetic movements.
With “GABRIELA,” Katseye has officially stepped into their power era. From the emotional storytelling to the TikTok domination, this comeback cements their place not just in music — but in pop culture.
