Background and composition edit

Several Ive members have previously been brand ambassadors for Pepsi; Yujin was chosen as a brand ambassador in 2021, followed by Wonyoung and Leeseo in 2022.[2] In the beginning of 2023, the group was chosen as Pepsi Zero Sugar's brand ambassador in South Korea.[3] "I Want" features a "simple melody" with "unique" instrumentations and reinterprets "Pepsi's brand identity of 'fun,' 'food' and 'festa'", according to a press release by Pepsi Korea.[3][4]
