Fate ((G)I-dle song)

"Fate" (Korean: 나는 아픈 건 딱 질색이니까; RR: Naneun Apeun Geon Ttak Jilsaeginikka; lit. 'Because I hate being sick'), sometimes referred to as "Ah.Ttak.Jil" (Korean: 아.딱.질) in South Korea, is a song by South Korean girl group (G)I-dle from their second studio album 2, released on January 29, 2024. The song was written and produced by Soyeon, with additional composition and arrangement credits from Pop Time, Dailly, and Likey.

It is a pop-punk and funk hybrid song with influences from J-pop. The song features guitars and vibrant, minimal production, including catchy piano sounds. "Fate" emerged as a sleeper hit on South Korean music charts without any promotional efforts, reaching number one on the Circle Digital Chart and other South Korean streaming platforms. Later, it peaked at number five in Taiwan and at number 23 in Singapore's RIAS charts. It gained attention after the release of a stage video on Lee Hyori's Red Carpet and It's Live YouTube channel, accumulating over one million views.

Music critics praised the song's lyricism, funky production, and its nostalgic appeal. After acknowledging its growing popularity, (G)I-dle began promoting the song on South Korean music shows on March 21, 2024, starting with M Countdown. Although the group did not perform the song on Inkigayo, "Fate" achieved a Triple Crown. By November 2024, "Fate" was nominated for Song of the Year and won Best Vocal Performance at the MAMA Awards.
