BLACKPINK star Jennie shares first solo song in five years, You and Me

BLACKPINK star Jennie has released her new solo tune, ‘You and Me’.

The K-pop star has released the original version of the dance song and the remix version ‘You and Me (Coachella ver.)’ – from the South Korean girl group’s Coachella performance in April and BST Hyde Park shows in July.

She sings: “Nothing in the world can make me feel the way you do, the things you do.

“I love you and me, dancing in the moonlight / Nobody can see, it’s just you and me tonight.”

It also comes with a striking music video set against the backdrop of a giant moon with an epic choreography that sees Jennie taking centre stage.

YG Entertainment said: “We hope the song becomes a special gift through which fans remember their memories from ‘Born Pink’ tour.”

‘You and Me’ was first performed during BLACKPINK’s ‘Born Pink’ world tour stop at the KSPO Dome in Seoul, South Korea in October.

It marks the 27-year-old star’s first solo release since 2018’s ‘Solo’.

Jennie recently teased a new song that is unique to her is on the way.

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar Korea and translated to English by Korea JoongAng Daily, she said: “I’m making a song that’s by Jennie, the most Jennie and something unique that is only Jennie’s.”

Jennie recently teamed up with The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp on the track ‘One Of The Girls’ from their HBO series ‘The Idol’.

Meanwhile, YG Entertainment recently rubbished a report that suggested Jennie and bandmate Jisoo – who are joined by Lisa and Rosé in the ‘Pink Venom’ group – are planning to launch their own “one-man agency”.

The label also insisted that BLACKPINK’s contract renewal negotiations are still ongoing.

The entertainment agency said in a statement: “Nothing has been confirmed regarding BLACKPINK’s contract renewals and their future activities.”

It had been claimed that only Rosé was going to renew her contract with YG.

The four-piece is the highest-charting female Korean act on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 13 with ‘Ice Cream’ in 2020, and on the Billboard 200, peaking at number one with their second studio album, 2022’s ‘Born Pink’, which is the best-selling album of all time by a female act in South Korea and the first to sell more than two million copies.
