BLACKPINK's New Single "Shut Down" Drops The Same Day As Their Born Pink Album
After two long years, BLACKPINK has new music on the way, and it's coming sooner than we expected. In early July, YG Entertainment confirmed that Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa would be releasing new music and that they'd be heading out on "the largest world tour in the history of a K-pop girl group." On July 31, the group confirmed their follow-up album Born Pink in an announcement video posted on their official YouTube.
It's been a long time coming for the K-pop superstars. BLACKPINK debuted No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart after releasing their debut album, THE ALBUM, in October 2020. The group's premiere effort achieved massive success, with seven songs from their project hitting the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Along with their success as a group, BLACKPINK's leading ladies have gone on to do amazing solo business endeavors as well.
BLACKPINK has been busy as they prepare to drop their new album. The record-breaking superstars made their US television debut when they hit the stage at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards in August. They shut down the stage in a lively performance of their hit single, "Pink Venom," and brought home two moon people.

Music producer and OneRepublic singer Ryan Tedder confirmed that he's working on the album. "I did write with the girls themselves," he told Good Morning America. "I genuinely love BLACKPINK, so I can't tell you what's coming out," the producer added. "I think one or two of my songs have made the album from what I've been told. The stuff that I did with them, I can just say, is very true to their sound. They wrote it, so it was very much me just supporting them, their ideas. It's cool as hell."

An official tour list has not been confirmed, but YG Entertainment did reveal that BLACKPINK would go on a world tour. So fingers crossed, they'll be headed to a city near you.
