‘What Makes You’ is the third single this year from Habitat, a five-piece Korean alternative rock band. It follows ‘Take Me Back’ in August and ‘Bitter’ in September, and the lyrics are in English.

Two electric guitars, bass, drums and piano move together through the track. The band shared a visualiser styled like an old CRT television on Instagram, and that nostalgic look suits the sound. Hyo Jun Lee recorded it, Sang Min Kim of PH Records mixed it and Hoon Cheon of SONICKOREA mastered it.

Two guitars, a piano and the glow of an old television screen.

Habitat are See On Lee on vocals, Sang Min Kim and In Taek Hong on guitar, In Ho Kim on bass and Deok Hyun Kim on drums. They debuted with ‘PingPong’ in August 2024, then produced, recorded and mixed the EP ‘Dawn’ themselves a month later. The band also won the gold prize at the 15th May Song Festival in Gwangju.

It fits late-night indie rock playlists. Fans of wont or Alter should give it a few plays.
