The release marks a major moment for BLACKPINK, whose members—Jennie, Jisoo, Rosé, and Lisa—have spent the past few years exploring solo ventures that expanded their individual artistry. With “JUMP,” the quartet reclaims their throne at the top of the global music scene, showcasing a revitalized group dynamic and fearless musical experimentation.

Written by an all-star team including TEDDY, Diplo, Zikai, Claudia Valentina, Jumpa, Malachiii, Jesse Bluu, and 24, “JUMP” is produced by Diplo, 24, Boaz van de Beatz, Zecca, and Ape Drums. The track sees BLACKPINK dive into the Hardstyle genre for the first time—a bold and energetic shift from their previous musical styles.

Opening with a striking guitar riff reminiscent of classic Western cinema, “JUMP” sets a dramatic tone before unleashing a pulsing, unpredictable beat. The track’s dynamic hook and emotive vocal layering emphasize each member’s distinctive personality, blending BLACKPINK’s signature swagger with new sonic territory. The result is a high-intensity anthem that expands the group's musical boundaries while remaining unmistakably BLACKPINK.

The launch of “JUMP” coincides with the start of BLACKPINK’s latest world tour, which spans 31 shows across 16 cities. After opening in South Korea, the group heads to North America for a two-night performance at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium this weekend. Additional U.S. stops include Chicago, Toronto, and a double-header at Citi Field in New York.

From there, BLACKPINK will take the stage across Europe, with stops in France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, before continuing on to Asia. The tour includes performances in Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong—cementing their place as one of the most in-demand live acts on the planet.

With “JUMP” serving as both a powerful comeback and a genre-defying evolution, BLACKPINK’s return signals a bold new era for the group—and the beginning of another global takeover.
