Blackpink are about to release their first new music together in almost two years, with single Pink Venom dropping on August 19.
With the group embarking on their first group promotional cycle in two years, they have rapidly announced promotional tie-ins and shared details about what’s to come for the quartet. Here’s what we know so far.
Pink Venom comes from frequent Blackpink collaborators
While Blackpink remain tight-lipped about what else is on the album, we know that Born Pink’s first track, Pink Venom, will contain the group’s trademark flair, thanks to work from their long-time collaborators.
Like most Blackpink songs, and those of other groups signed to the YG Entertainment label, Pink Venom’s creation has been spearheaded by YG producer Teddy Park, while Danny Chung, 24, R.Tee and the songwriting team IDO also feature on the credits.
Most of the songwriters already have a relationship with Blackpink, having worked for Park’s subsidiary The Black Label.
Chung has worked on Blackpink hits including How You Like That and Lovesick Girls; 24 most recently worked on group members Rosé and Lisa’s 2021 solo releases; and R.Tee contributed to Kill This Love and Ddu-du Ddu-du.
