Discover interesting things in BLACKPINK’s THE ALBUM
THE ALBUM brings both a familiar feeling with vibrant melodies – the formula that helps BLACKPINK conquer the audience, as well as a new experiment in the group’s musical style.
Belonging to the hip-hop and trap genres, How You Like That is both a complete continuation of Kill This Love and a vibrant opening song for THE ALBUM.
Similarly, Pretty Savage and Crazy Over You are two songs with vibrant melodies but with a charming, new look, clearly showing the four girls’ individual black and youthful pink colors.
“You wanna touch, wanna touch?
You wanna run with my love, I know you wanna
From the club to the tub, you said you wanna
Give me an all night hug, I bet you wanna
I bet you wanna, I bet you wanna”
To promote THE ALBUM, BLACKPINK released 3 MVs, matching the spirit of the song.
“I know that my heart can be so cold
But I’m sweet for you, come put me in a cone (In a cone)
You’re the only touch, yeah, that get me meltin’
He’s my favorite flavor, always gonna pick him”

Although they may have crushes on boys, BLACKPINK are still four strong female idols, ready to shake off those who do not know how to appreciate each other through the songs Love To Hate Me and Lovesick Girls.
“We were born to be alone
But why are we still looking for love?
Didn’t wanna be a princess, I’m priceless
A prince not even on my list”
The writer’s favorite sentence in the song Love To Hate Me is: `You ain’t worth my love if you only love to hate me`.
