XLOV Unveils Dreamcore-Inspired MV for "Tooth Gem Chihuahua"

XLOV has unveiled a surreal new music video for "Tooth Gem Chihuahua," one of the two title tracks from the group's third EP, "i=!" Blending dreamcore imagery with an unusual fairytale about identity and belonging, the video offers a different side of the group's latest comeback.

Released on November 9 through XLOV's official YouTube channel, the music video follows members Wumuti, Rui, Hyun and Haru as they move between reality and a mysterious dream world.

The four members appear in distinctive styling featuring horns, tooth gems and glitter makeup, navigating an enchanted forest that symbolizes freedom and escape into another reality.

The choreography adds a playful contrast to the video's unsettling atmosphere, with expressive gestures and repeated movements accompanying the song's chorus.

Behind the surreal visuals is an unconventional story about a wolf that grows up among a family of Chihuahuas.

Believing itself to be the most beautiful and beloved Chihuahua, the wolf eventually discovers that its true appearance frightens people. Rather than accepting the limitations of reality, it seeks refuge in a dream world where it can become the Chihuahua it always imagined itself to be.

The fairytale serves as the central inspiration for "Tooth Gem Chihuahua," connecting the song's fantastical imagery to themes of identity, self-expression and the desire to live freely.

Musically, the track combines dreamcore and hyperpop influences with driving house rhythms, distorted electronic sounds and atmospheric production. Repeated vocal chops and a chant-like chorus contribute to its unusual, dreamlike character.

Member Wumuti participated in both writing and composing the song, adding a personal creative contribution to the group's latest release.

The music video follows the earlier release of "Hush," the other title track from XLOV's third EP, "i=!" Together, the two videos showcase different aspects of the group's musical and visual identity.

XLOV will continue promoting the album through music shows and online content.
