LISA has confirmed that a new BLACKPINK music is on the way, close to three years on from the release of the group’s latest album.

While promoting the release of her new Bose earbuds collaboration with Variety, LISA hinted at the forthcoming record. “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.”

The upcoming music is their first release since their 2023 ‘The Girls’, a single which followed their 2022 ‘Born Pink’ album. 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.

All members of BLACKPINK have embarked on solo careers and released albums in recent months, peaking on the Billboard 200 chart. Recently, LISA appeared as a featured artist on Maroon 5’s ‘Priceless’ single.  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.”
