Singer-songwriter and actor IU is collaborating with Tweety Bird, the famous yellow canary character from the animated cartoon, “Looney Tunes,” produced and distributed by Warner Bros, to promote her upcoming album.

That includes releasing a special version of the upcoming album with Tweety Bird on its cover, and various merchandise, according to Edam Entertainment on Wednesday.

IU has some history with this character as she has been using Tweety Bird as the profile picture of her Instagram account for more than five years.

In 2021, IU’s fan tweeted about IU looking like Tweety Bird and that was retweeted by “Looney Tunes'” official account on X, formerly Twitter.

“Please look forward to the synergy between IU, an artist loved by fans at home and abroad with her positive and good influence, and Tweety Bird, (who is) engraved in childhood memories of people around the world,” said Edam Entertainment.

On Tuesday, IU changed her Instagram profile picture for the first time in five years to a new version of Tweety Bird.

IU’s sixth EP, “The Winning,” led by its two title tracks, “Shopper” and “Spore,” is set for release on Feb. 20.
