Blackpink's Jennie Just Dropped Her Solo Track "You & Me," So Let's Get Into These Lyrics

Jennie Kim is not only part of the K-Pop supergroup Blackpink—she's also a star in her own right. She recently starred as Dyanne on HBO's The Idol, served in a Chanel look at her first-ever Met Gala, and strutted her stuff in Calvin Klein's Fall 2023 campaign. Now, Jennie is expanding her solo music catalog as she dropped her second solo single, "You & Me" on October 6. This marks her first song since she released "Solo" in 2019, and blinks may already know the track because of her *iconic* live performances on tour. She also sang it during Blackpink's headlining set at Coachella in April 2023.

Jennie's bandmates Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo have also dropped solo tracks outside of their massively successful hits as a unit, so it's no surprise that Jennie spent some extra time in the studio and laid down "You & Me." The track details an unconditional love over a playful dance-pop rhythm, and the lyrics are just sooo sweet. Ahead, find a full breakdown of Jennie's "You & Me" and the meaning behind the track's lyrics.

[Verse 1]
You know I gotcha
You know that I got you like that
Ain't nobody gonna have your back like the way I do
You love it, just say you do
You know you got me
Everything you do, everything you did
Everything I wish I was with makes me feel alright
I'm just saying, so

In the first verse, Jennie sings about feeling good and secure in her relationship with the subject of the track through sultry vocals. She also reassures her partner that she'll be there for them in ways that other people can't provide.

[Pre-Chorus]
I really like it
Nothin' in the world can make me feel the way you do, the things you do
I really like it
Nothin' in the world can make me feel the way you do, the things you do

Alexa, play "Nothing in This World" by Paris Hilton because that's essentially how Miss Jennie is feeling ahead of the chorus on "You & Me."

[Chorus]
I love you and me
Dancing in the moonlight
Nobody can see
It's just you and me tonight
I love you and me
Dancing in the moonlight
Nobody can see
It's just you and me tonight

Jennie may as well say that nothing else matters other than her connection with the subject because all of her focus is on them and the moves they make in the moonlight.

[Post-Chorus]
Look at you now, look at me
How you ever, ever gonna find someone like this?
Look at you now, look at mе
How you ever, evеr gonna find someone like this?

The post-chorus could potentially call back to Blackpink's smash hit, "How You Like That?" as it has similar lyrics—we love a full-circle moment:

Now look at you, now look at me (Uh) / Look at you, now look at me (Uh) / Look at you, now look at me / How you like that?

[Verse 2]
You're the reason my heart skips, drops
Just a little touch, my world stops
Finally, I know that you're mine
I don't wanna fall
Don't wanna play this game of love, oh-eh-oh
There's nowhere to hide

When your heart skips a beat, you're either feeling nervous, excited, or both. Jennie lets her guard down in the second verse, revealing that she's fallen for the person she's singing to and ready to let go of any fear when it comes to love.

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]

[Interlude]
(Ever, ever gonna find someone like this)
(Someone like this)

[Bridge]
I don't care 'bout your first love
This should be your last one
Nothin' like your last one
You look better on me, that's fashion
Won't block your shot, lights, camera, action
Never been a love me or a love me not thing
Every petal better tell him, better not change
I love you, I love me a lot, wait
Which one I love better? Better off not saying

In conclusion, Jennie knows she's that girl and that she's the one for this person. She doesn't care about their past relationships because their connection is what matters in the moment, and she reassures that she'll let her partner shine even with a star as bright as hers by their side. She said what she said!

[Outro]
I love you and me
