Talk about an international collaboration!

Blackpink's Lisa and Rosalía have joined forces for a new upbeat pop single titled "New Woman," released under Lisa's own label LLoud Co. in partnership with RCA Records. The track, co-written by Swedish singer Tove Lo and produced by Ariana Grande's trusted hitmakers Max Martin and Ilya, dropped on Thursday accompanied by a stylish music video.

Directed by Dave Meyers, the video kicks off with Lisa delivering rapid-fire verses about overcoming challenges to become a "New Woman" with a "revved up aura." Lisa confidently sings, "Bitch, you better swerve / Revving up my uh-uh-uh-uh-aura," introducing the track as a collaboration between "Lalisa and Rosalía." The song takes a turn about a minute in, slowing down to make way for Rosalía's soft Spanish lyrics: "Yo vivo pa’ cantar, no canto pa’ vivir" ("I live to sing, not sing to live").

This new single follows the release of Lisa's "Rockstar," produced by Ryan Tedder and Sam Homaee, marking her first solo release in three years. Lisa first gained fame as a key member of Blackpink, a globally successful four-member group with chart-topping hits worldwide.

Lisa is scheduled to co-headline the Global Citizen Festival in September alongside Post Malone, Doja Cat, Jelly Roll, and Rauw Alejandro. She will also make her acting debut next year in the third season of HBO's "The White Lotus," becoming the second Blackpink member to feature in an HBO series, after Jennie (credited as Jennie Ruby Jane) appeared in the drama "The Idol," which premiered in June 2023.
