"REBEL HEART" is the sixth Korean digital single by IVE. It was released on January 13, 2025 as the pre-release single for the group's third EP, IVE EMPATHY.

Description

“	The title song 'REBEL HEART' emphasizes 'comradeship' by aiming for comfort and empathy. 'REBEL HEART', which depicts the solidarity march of 'rebels' with various narratives, is a song that combines diverse vocal harmonies and a thrilling chorus, and the sweet strings and uptempo drums create a rich sound. The comforting lyrics and the majestic sound give a strange sense of reversal.	”
