IU has performed a cover of girl group IVE’s debut single, ‘Eleven’.On January 20, IU released the 31st episode of her YouTube music talk show IU’s Palette, featuring IVE as guest stars.

As part of the episode’s ‘Colour Switch’ segment, she performed a cover of the band’s 2021 debut single ‘Eleven’, while IVE returned their rendition of ‘Holssi’, which IU released last year.IU employed a live band complete with a cellist, drummer, bassist, keyboardist for a rock-tinged, self-arranged version of the song.

Meanwhile, IVE sang a stripped-back version of ‘Holssi’ with the band but mostly stayed faithful to the original.“You arranged ‘Eleven’ really well in your own way,” Gaeul told her after both performances.

After the segment, IU also shared a short clip of herself covering IVE’s ‘Either Way’, having considered it for her cover this episode.IVE’s appearance on IU’s series comes a week after the six-piece dropped ‘Rebel Heart’, a pre-release track lifted from their upcoming mini-album ‘IVE Empathy’.
