Irene & Seulgi is Red Velvet's first sub-unit. This two-member subunit was formed in 2020, and their comeback after five years was one of the most anticipated releases of May 2025.

Irene and Seulgi's second mini-album, Tilt, contains six songs, including the eponymous title track. The theme of this mini-album is centred on evolution and breaking barriers. It talks about how one shines and grows, the more they strive.

The title song, Tilt, showcases the narrative with provocative lyrics and bold choreography that exudes unspeakable tension. The pop dance song talks about tilting the balance and adjusting focus in a relationship rather than competing in a "seesaw" like game against each other.
