(UPDATE) South Korean singer IU dropped Thursday her highly anticipated album, “Lilac,” along with the music video for the lead single of the same name.

The 10-track record is IU’s fifth studio album and her first full-length release in 4 years, after 2017’s “Palette.”

“Lilac” is fronted by 2 singles — one that shares the name of the album, and “Coin,” which has a music video scheduled for release on Friday.

The music video for the disco-kissed “Lilac” showed the 27-year-old K-pop veteran partying on a train. There’s also a scene where she fights with several men in the second verse and animation during the song’s bridge.
