LISA Teases New BLACKPINK Music Ahead of 2025 Global Tour Launch
May
As the world gears up for BLACKPINK’s much-anticipated 2025 global tour, all eyes are on Lisa, the group’s magnetic rapper and dancer, who has recently set the internet ablaze with hints about new music. With cryptic social media posts, surprise interviews, and unexpected studio sightings, Lisa is fueling speculation that BLACKPINK is preparing to deliver something monumental—both sonically and visually—just in time for the tour.
The year 2025 marks an exciting chapter for BLACKPINK. Following an explosive solo era for each member and a short hiatus, the quartet appears ready to reclaim their collective throne. And it is Lisa, with her signature charisma and directness, who is spearheading the conversation—teasing what’s next for the world’s most famous girl group.
The Comeback Clues: A Trail of Teasers
BLACKPINK’s loyal fandom, BLINKs, are no strangers to decoding subtle clues. But Lisa’s recent activity has gone beyond subtle. During an Instagram Live session in late April, Lisa dropped the first major bombshell: “We’ve been working on something really special. I think you’ll hear from us sooner than you think.”
This followed a week after she posted a behind-the-scenes photo from what looked like a music video shoot. Dressed in a futuristic outfit, flanked by choreographers, and tagged with the cryptic phrase “#BPisComing,” the post sparked immediate buzz. Twitter/X hashtags like #BLACKPINK2025 and #LISAteasesBPcomeback trended worldwide within hours.
Exclusive Interview With Vogue Korea
In a May cover feature with Vogue Korea, Lisa confirmed that BLACKPINK had regrouped earlier this year to work on new material. “We’ve each grown so much through our solo projects,” she said. “Coming back together felt both familiar and brand new. The sound we’re creating now reflects that evolution.”
Lisa also emphasized that the new BLACKPINK music would “push genre boundaries” and “embrace more global influences,” hinting at a dynamic mix of Afrobeat, UK garage, and Thai trap—a nod to her heritage and global tastes.
BLACKPINK’s Evolution: A Quick Recap
Before diving into what’s next, it’s worth acknowledging how BLACKPINK’s journey brought them to this pivotal moment.
Since their debut in 2016 under YG Entertainment, BLACKPINK has consistently shattered records and expectations. With only a handful of group releases, they’ve maintained worldwide dominance thanks to their high production values, iconic fashion, and razor-sharp choreography. Their debut album THE ALBUM (2020) and sophomore release BORN PINK (2022) were both international successes, cementing their legacy.
But after wrapping up their “Born Pink” tour in 2023, the group members pursued solo ventures: Jennie launched her own label and starred in HBO’s The Idol, Rosé released her second solo EP, Jisoo made waves in the Korean drama scene, and Lisa signed with her own agency, LLOUD, hinting at global ambitions.
The group’s last major appearance was at Coachella 2023 and BST Hyde Park in London, after which a period of silence led fans to wonder about their collective future—until now.
Studio Spottings and Producer Collaborations
In March 2025, Lisa was photographed leaving a Los Angeles recording studio known for its ties to producers like Teddy Park, BloodPop, and Boi-1da. A leaked snippet circulating on fan forums featured a hard-hitting beat layered with multilingual lyrics, sparking debates over whether it was part of her solo work or a group track.
Music insiders speculate that Ryan Tedder—who previously worked with BLACKPINK on “Bet You Wanna”—is again involved. Meanwhile, rumors have swirled that British producer Mura Masa and Thai artist Milli may feature on upcoming tracks, signaling a bold, genre-blending direction.
The 2025 Global Tour: “REBORN”
Coinciding with the comeback buzz is the announcement of BLACKPINK’s massive 2025 Global Tour, titled REBORN. While official dates and venues are yet to be released, promotional materials hint at a tour that will span Asia, North America, South America, Europe, and the Middle East, with rumored stadium shows in Paris, Tokyo, Riyadh, and São Paulo.
Lisa’s role in the creative direction of the tour appears to be significant. According to a source close to LLOUD, “Lisa has been deeply involved in the staging and choreography. She wants this to be not just a concert, but an immersive experience.”
The tour is expected to feature multiple unreleased songs, suggesting that BLACKPINK will drop an album or EP either right before or during the first leg of the tour.
Lisa’s Solo Impact: Paving the Way for Group Reinvention
Lisa’s solo career has undoubtedly shaped this new phase of BLACKPINK. Her 2021 single “LALISA” broke YouTube records, and her 2023 release “ROCKSTAR” showed her versatility, blending hip-hop with Southeast Asian aesthetics. In early 2024, she became the first K-pop female soloist to headline a solo arena tour in Europe.
Her solo success didn’t just elevate her profile—it expanded the global palette of what K-pop can be. Her ability to rap in Thai, sing in Korean, and switch seamlessly to English has opened the door for more experimental, cross-cultural music within BLACKPINK.
Fans speculate that Lisa might lead a dual concept within the group’s new material: one part rooted in their fierce girl-crush identity, and the other more introspective, experimental, and melodic.
Fan Theories and Social Media Clues
The fan community has been in overdrive. On TikTok, users dissect Lisa’s Instagram stories, searching for studio interiors or snippets of lyrics. Reddit threads speculate on potential album titles, with “REBORN,” “ECLIPSE,” and “GENESIS” being frontrunners based on Lisa’s past captions.
One popular theory is that the group will release four solo-infused tracks—each representing a member’s personal sound—followed by a unit track and a grand finale ensemble song. This would align with YG’s past promotional strategies and allow each member to shine before converging as a unit.
Lisa fanned the flames by posting a black-and-white photo with Jennie in late April, captioned “REBIRTH ERA.” The post surpassed 5 million likes in a day.
What We Might Expect Musically
Lisa’s recent comments and studio sightings suggest BLACKPINK may depart from the EDM-heavy sound of past albums and embrace more live instrumentation, percussive global rhythms, and lyrical storytelling. Insiders describe some of the demos as “genre-bending” and “unexpected.”
We may hear:
- A Thai-rap infused track produced by Thai collaborators
- A Rosé-led acoustic ballad showcasing raw vocals
- A duet between Lisa and Jennie in a reggaetón or Afrobeat style
- A full group anthem with feminist undertones
With Lisa’s LLOUD agency also reportedly co-producing elements of the album, fans can expect tighter creative control from the members themselves.
Industry Impact and Expectations
BLACKPINK’s return, especially with Lisa front-and-center in teasing the rollout, has generated excitement not just from fans but also from industry watchers. According to Billboard’s latest Global Music Outlook, “BLACKPINK’s 2025 return is poised to reset the benchmark for girl group comebacks in the post-pandemic music era.”
The group has always operated at the intersection of music, fashion, and culture, and 2025 seems to follow suit. Lisa’s recent appearances at Paris Fashion Week and her appointment as a Bulgari ambassador have kept BLACKPINK in the global spotlight, even without group releases.
The pressure is high—but so is the momentum.
A Message to BLINKs
During a recent livestream, Lisa took a moment to address the fandom directly. “We’ve missed you all so much,” she said with a smile. “This comeback isn’t just about us. It’s about the bond we share. Thank you for being patient. Let’s make history again.”
This emotional connection with fans is a key pillar of BLACKPINK’s continued success. It’s not just about chart positions or brand deals—it’s about the unwavering support of millions of fans worldwide who have stood by through solo eras, rumors, and uncertainty.
Conclusion: The Stage Is Set
Lisa’s teasing of new BLACKPINK music marks the beginning of what could be the group’s most transformative era yet. As whispers of a comeback become roars and the REBORN tour approaches, BLACKPINK seems poised to redefine not only themselves but the entire landscape of global pop music.
In a world hungry for reinvention and authenticity, BLACKPINK—and Lisa in particular—are answering the call with flair, fire, and fearlessness.
The wait is almost over. And if Lisa’s words are anything to go by, what comes next will be worth every second of anticipation.
