How about an international connection?
Blackpink’s Lisa and Rosalía have teamed up for a new upbeat pop single called “New Woman,” released under Lisa’s own label LLoud Co. with RCA Records. “New Woman,” co-written by Swedish singer Tove Lo and produced by Ariana Grande hitmakers Max Martin and Ilya, dropped Thursday with an ultra-stylish music video.
In the video, directed by Dave Meyers, Lisa starts off with a bang, delivering racy verses about walking through fire to discover she’s a “new woman” with a “revved up aura.”
“Bitch, you better swerve / Revving up my uh-uh-uh-uh-aura,” Lisa sings after introducing the track courtesy of “Lalisa and Rosalía.” The song changes tempo completely (after about a minute) and slows down to allow Rosalía’s whispered Spanish lyrics to kick in: “Yo vivo pa’ cantar, no canto pa’ vivir“I live to sing, not to live.”
The new single follows the release of Lisa’s Ryan Tedder and Sam Homaee-produced single “Rockstar,” Lisa’s first solo release in three years. The K-pop star rose to prominence as a sought-after member of Blackpink, a four-member group with massive chart topping success around the world.
Lisa will co-headline the Global Citizen Festival in September alongside Post Malone, Doja Cat, Jelly Roll and Rauw Alejandro. Lisa will also make her acting debut next year when HBO airs the third season of “The White Lotus.” She is the second member of Blackpink to appear in an HBO series, following Jennie (credited as Jennie Ruby Jane) in the drama “The Idol,” which premiered in June 2023.
