[8] On March 19, 2020, Cube Entertainment announced that (G)I-dle would be making a comeback with an extended play in early April.

[12] Soyeon revealed she got inspired by watching isekai anime, KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!

[13][14] (G)I-dle released two album versions for I Trust containing different colour themes which conveys a "collision with reality—meeting halfway between their reality and what society expects from them".

[16][17] "Luv U" is a trap song which combines heavy 808 bass, hard drum beats, and tongue-clicking sounds recorded by member Soyeon which creates a playful yet serious, bright but dark atmosphere.

[19] Soulbeats called it "borderline industrial, with pops, clicks, riffs that read more like sounds than music, but composed so deftly that they form a clear melody and rhythm".

"Maybe" is a dream-like dance-pop song that combines slow chord progression and minimalist electronic instrumentation, though the rubbery synths and staccato drums play against the scratched strings for a spectacular drop.

[26][27] On April 1, Cube launched the (G)I-dle's chic violet exclusive emoji for using hashtags #여자아이들, #GIDLE, #아이들_오마이갓, #GIDLE_OMG and #I_trust.

The photos feature the members wearing dark dresses with snake-shaped props and accessories, creating a mysterious and fascinating atmosphere for the True version on April 1, and wearing white dresses with light feathers and flowers to add a pure and light atmosphere for the Lie version on April 2.

[31][32] The group held an online live media showcase before the song's digital release with Jo Kwon as the MC.

[17] (G)I-dle continue their promotion activities with follow-up song "Luv U" starting April 28, on SBS MTV The Show to repay the love sent from their fans for I Trust.

[38] Pop music critic Seo Jeong Min-gap included (G)I-dle's I Trust in the list of albums 'If You Don't Listen, You Will Regret It'.

[39] Lee Jeong-beom of XSports News included "Luv U" on his list of the "10 K-pop Girl groups' B-Sides that left an impression and helped improve the quality of my life this year".

He concluded, "The song received high marks for expressing a character that was strong outside but soft inside through a fun, energetic and charming way.
