LISA Teases New BLACKPINK Music Ahead of 2025 Global Tour Launch
"Actually, we were in the studio a few days ago,” LISA revealed.
Close to three years on from the release of BLACKPINK’s latest album, LISA has confirmed that new music from the group is in the works.
LISA shared the news with Variety on Saturday (May 3) while promoting the release of her new Bose earbuds collaboration. “Actually, we were in the studio a few days ago,” she explained. “We’re all so super excited to get back together and go on tour. We really miss the blinks. We can’t wait to see them.”
New material from BLACKPINK would be the first released by the South Korean quartet since 2023 single “The Girls,” which in turn followed on from their second album, 2022’s Born Pink. The record became the group’s first to top the Billboard 200, and was also accompanied by a global tour which became the highest-grossing for a female group.
In the time since, all members of BLACKPINK have embarked on solo careers and released albums in recent months, beginning with Rosé, whose Rosie album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. While Jisoo released her Amortage EP in February, LISA’s Alter Ago and Jennie’s Ruby were released in consecutive weeks across February and March, with both peaking at No. 7 on the Billboard 200.
Most recently, LISA also appeared as a featured artist on Maroon 5’s new single, “Priceless.” The single marks Maroon 5’s first collaboration with a K-pop artist and features a guitar-driven sound that nods to the band’s early 2000s roots, complemented by LISA’s confident rap verse. The accompanying music video, shot on 35mm film and directed by Aerin Moreno, takes visual inspiration from the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
BLACKPINK last performed live in September 2023, but are currently readying their live return, which launches in South Korea in July before visiting North America, Europe, and the U.K. in the following weeks, with three dates in Japan scheduled for January 2026.
When asked by Variety about the potential release date for new BLACKPINK music, LISA neither confirmed nor denied it would arrive in time to coincide with their live return. “You have to be patient about it,” she urged. “It’s coming soon, I promise. It’s about time.”
