  1. 012016 · SQUARE ONE

    The debut arrives

    “BOOMBAYAH” forms one half of SQUARE ONE, the project that introduced BLACKPINK alongside “WHISTLE.” Its emphatic group performance supplies one route into a debut built from contrasting songs. The official video begins a catalogue in which the interaction between distinct voices and collective presentation remains central.

  2. 022018 · SQUARE UP

    A first mini album

    “DDU-DU DDU-DU” leads SQUARE UP, BLACKPINK’s first mini album. YG’s release notes frame the project around facing challenges together, expanding the group’s early single-based introduction into an EP. The video places the title song’s rhythmic hook and sharply defined individual performances inside that larger statement.

  3. 032020 · THE ALBUM era

    Building toward THE ALBUM

    “How You Like That” precedes THE ALBUM as a standalone pre-release single. YG describes an arrangement that moves from orchestral atmosphere into an explosive drop, matched to a message of rising after difficulty. It provides a bridge between the earlier EPs and the group’s first full-length album.

  4. 042022 · BORN PINK era

    Contrasting colours

    “Pink Venom” opens the BORN PINK chapter as a pre-release single. YG’s official notes highlight the meeting of hip-hop rhythm, Korean instrumental sounds, rap and melody. The title’s contrast mirrors the song’s shifting textures, setting up a larger album rather than standing as an isolated group statement.

    A later group chapter

    DEADLINE · EP / Mini Album

    “GO” sits within DEADLINE, a five-track mini album that also includes “JUMP.” The official release places the group back in a shared recording context after their separate solo work. Its compact track list presents another collective chapter while preserving the distinction between BLACKPINK releases and individual members’ catalogues.
