Background
In an interview with Consequence, Yunho said "'Ice on My Teeth' is really special to us because it's all about knowing your worth and owning that confidence. It's about valuing yourself no matter what and showing the world that you're not afraid to stand out." Yeosang added, "When I first heard the song, the catchy melody immediately grabbed my attention. The strong beat mixed with the violin made it sound fresh and exciting."[1]

Critical reception

Perspective
Marty of The Honey POP remarked the song "makes us lose our minds in the best ways possible" and "The sound this title track offers is definitely new and going to leave a mark. The members' vocals smoothly match the dark aura, showing a cooler, more chill yet mature vibe to them. And they don't miss the chance to transfer that vibe into their music video." He added, "Yunho starting the song in such an iconic way already makes 'Ice On My Teeth' unforgettable. Meanwhile, Hongjoong and Mingi leave us absolutely amazed with their parts as usual. And later, when Jongho enters the song at just the right moment with just the right tone, he manages to smoothly transition the feel, giving it a more epic aura. Yet, we never lose the dramatic atmosphere that 'Ice On My Teeth' offers. We mentioned smooth a few times already, and we're about to do it again, this time in regards to that fantastic choreography. We also can't stress enough how obsessed we are with Wooyoung's whole look and dance moves during his center parts. Or how Yeosang and Seonghwa completely reign during their parts. Or when San…"[3] Joseph Kocharian of Rolling Stone UK wrote the song has the "sexiness and production value similar to Justin Timberlake's much lauded noughties 'Futuresex/LoveSound'" and "As the group evolve, so has the depth and range of their vocals. Mingi and Hongjoong both temper their usually more energetic rap styles, melting them to a more mellow sound to give a sexier energy to things."[2]
Music video
The music video was released alongside the single. It sees the Ateez members in "museum halls, stately homes with balaclava'ed ballerinas, flaming bonfires and cooly-lensed opulence". The clip opens with Yunho and Yeosang at a tennis court. Later, Wooyoung leads a choreographed dance break and San swings from a chandelier.[2]
