Background and release
On July 24, 2022, Starship Entertainment announced that Ive would be releasing their third single album, After Like, on August 22.[1] On August 1, a promotional video titled "I've Summer Film" was released.[2] Six days later, the promotional scheduled was released.[3] On August 7, the track listing was released, with "After Like" confirmed as the lead single.[4] The music video teaser for "After Like" was released on August 19,[5] followed by the album's highlight medley video on August 21.[6] After Like was released alongside the lead single's music video on August 22.[7]
Composition
After Like consists of two tracks that incorporate elements of nu-disco.[8] Lead single "After Like" is a pop and house song that samples "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor with lyrics about "showing your love methods with actions rather than your heart".[9][10] The second track, "My Satisfaction", was described as a dance-pop song with a "heavy beat".[8]
After Like debuted at number one on South Korea's Circle Album Chart in the chart issue dated August 21–27, 2022, with over 1 million copies sold.[11] On the year-end Circle Album Chart, it was the 10th best-selling album of 2022, having sold 1,652,402 album copies overall and the third best-selling album by a female artist in the chart on 2022.[12]

Carmen Chin from NME gave After Like a 4 out of 5 star rating, describing the single album as a "fitting third chapter" in Ive's musical journey that sees them "blossom as young women well-accustomed to the nuances of love, all while developing their own signature sounds and visual concepts." She praised the single "After Like" as a "powerful, elegant confessional anthem" that combines a nu-disco sound with the group's "dulcet harmonies". Chin found that the B-side track "My Satisfaction" deviated from the group's usual sound with a "gruffer, richer cadence" that did not threaten their "chic brand" but rather added "new depth" to their image.[8]
