On June 20, 2025, girl group KATSEYE dropped their latest single "Gabriela," along with an eye-catching music video that caught everyone's attention. HYBE and Geffen Records put the group together, and they came up with a story-based idea that stars Hollywood actress Jessica Alba in a crucial part.
The music video takes place in a made-up business world, starting with Alba as the boss of "Gabriela Enterprises." She asks a key question—"Who will be the next Gabriela?"—which kicks off the exciting events that happen next. You can see the KATSEYE members playing go-getter employees fighting to get noticed and gain power in a high-pressure office.
The video's plot develops through scenes blending movie-like drama with performance bits.
"Took Rita’s nachos and made a Michelin star dish," a fan reacted to the music video on X.
The group members show up in fancy clothes, clashing with each other and ending up in a showy boardroom fight. This style puts the music video somewhere between a regular pop video and a short story film.
"Gabriela" is one of the songs on KATSEYE's second EP, Beautiful Chaos, set to come out on June 27, 2025. The EP has five songs: "Gnarly," "Gabriela," "Gameboy," "Mean Girls," and "M.I.A." Its main idea is to accept chaos and not know what's next, which matches what the group has gone through since they started.
Internet reacts as Katseye drops 'Grabiella' MV in collaboration with Jessica Alba
The video adds another layer to their work. Jessica Alba’s appearance in the video stands out and connects the music world with the film world. Social media has responded, with many talking about her collaboration and its unexpected mix of styles.
"THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF MUSIC AND VOCALS I'VE BEEN EXPECTING FROM KATSEYE!! EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SONG AND MV IS JUST SO PERFECT I'M TOTALLY LOVING IT," an X user commented.
"Mediocre chroeo, bland singing, forgettable lyrics. . . we did cultural appropriation for this mess?" another X user wrote.
"HONESTLY its a 7/10 i just dont get why the song doesnt have substance and its just them saying Gabriela like 100x, the song sounds like just noise not actual lyrical talent which is basically just a copy of gnarly," another user commented.
"I might get cancelled for saying this but this song sounds like it’s copied from somewhere? the beat… the melody… it all sounds so familiar. i just can’t pinpoint exactly where i’ve heard it. oh wait… i figured it out… it sounds like the SONG OF THE YEAR," one wrote.
"MUSIC VIDEO OF THE YEAR IM NOT EVEN KIDDING," another reacted.
"THE ENDING HAD ME.. LIKE I DID NOT EXPECT THAT IN THE SLIGHTEST AND THE SONG IS 10S AS USUAL," a fan wrote on X.

The song "Gabriela" represents a change in KATSEYE’s musical style. Their debut EP SIS (Soft Is Strong) focused on ideas like emotional strength and femininity. In contrast, this single brings Latin-inspired beats and pop sounds, pointing to a new path the group seems to be exploring.
