Another smash hit: the anthem BLACKPINK dropped in April 2019 that rocked everything from living rooms to social media to the dance floor! The ferocious brass sound—heavily influenced by the hip-hop subgenre trap—pours a deliciously toxic “meanness” and “villainous” vibe into the track.

Also keep an eye on the music video’s set design, which straightforwardly visualizes the work’s themes!
