"Queencard" (Korean: 퀸카; RR: Kwinka) is a song by South Korean girl group (G)I-dle. It was released through Cube Entertainment on May 15, 2023, as the lead single of the group's sixth extended play, I Feel. A pop song driven by rock and roll influence, and 2000s-inspired electronic production, written and produced by Soyeon, the song relates to the storyline of "Allergy," and addresses themes of self-acceptance and self-confidence. The single sees the group's departure from their previous sounds to a lighter, comical, and retro style.
Many publications ranked the song among the best releases of 2023, praising the pop and vocal production, and empowering tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Commercially, the single peaked at number one on the Circle Chart for four consecutive weeks. It also peaked in the top ten on Billboard's Hits of the World charts in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and the US World Digital Song Sales. Later, it was certified Gold by RIAJ for surpassing 50 million streams in the country.
An accompanying music video was directed by Han Sa-min and uploaded onto the group's YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's release. (G)I-DLE promoted the song by appearing on various South Korean music programs, where they won a total of 13 first-place trophies on Show Champion, M Countdown, Music Bank, Show! Music Core, and Inkigayo, achieving their first music show grand slam. They notably became the first girl group and the second group overall to win the Quintuple Crown on Show! Music Core since its implementation in February 2021.
