The girls shared their thoughts about finally making their debut. They shared that although they were nervous they were equally excited to finally debut and hope that fans will show them a lot of love and support.
On Nov. 28, Starship posted the teaser for IVE's debut single 'ELEVEN'. The teaser showed a glamorous vibe to an edgy and trendy beat as the girls made intense eye contact with their soon-to-be fans.
When asked what the meaning behind their title song is, member Rei answered that just like how in soccer they have a 'best 11' which is considered the best 11 players making up a team, IVE is also showing up on the scene as the best team. They want to prove that they are the best of the best through their teamwork.
'ELEVEN' is a pop dance song that shows off the charms of the members. When asked what the killing point of the song is, the members said that the whole song can be considered the killing point but if they had to focus on a specific aspect, it would be their vocals.
It was also then revealed that the reason their concept pictures featured the members surrounded by mirrors, was to emphasize the diverse sides of themselves that they would show to fans.

The point choreography of 'ELEVEN' can be identified as two dances. The first is the 'heaven' dance. This dance is when they reach up into the sky and bring their hands down to their mouth.

The second point dance is called the 'seven' dance. They do a number of steps leading to a count up from 1 to 7, then make a 7 symbol with their hands.
