“Press Play”: BLACKPINK’s Lisa Unveils Her First-Ever Solo EP

It’s finally time to Press Play with LISA.

The BLACKPINK singer, a multi-hyphenate in her own right, has launched her first-ever solo EP, marking her comeback as a lone artist after more than a year.

Titled Press Play, the six-track record unfolds like a cinematic experience where each track represents a distinct character, scene, or visual — inviting listeners to sit back, relax, and just hit the play button and enjoy them altogether.

The EP arrives with the music video for its lead single, Tarantino, which follows LISA as a stylish agent fighting her way through a hotel to deliver a note to her favorite director.

Featuring the lyric, “It’s a movie, baby. Come and press play,” the track stays true to its namesake with a spy-thriller action-inspired storyline. LISA pulls off her own stunts in the music video, facing waves of villains and hotel staff with sharply choreographed fight sequences.

Earlier, the K-pop star dropped SaWaDiKa, which is also among the tracks off Press Play. The song—which means “hello” in Thai and pays tribute to her roots—has since become one of the biggest music video debuts online.

The remaining four songs in the EP, which follows her debut full-length album Alter Ego in 2025, include V12, Cobra, Cut U Off, and Sweat.

Alongside Press Play, the BLACKPINK member has also unveiled her first collaboration with Sony’s PlayStation — featuring a limited-edition DualSense Wireless Controller and exclusive merchandise, which she co-designed herself.

LISA’s latest releases come on the heels of her milestone at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, California last month. She bagged the Best Pop award for Dream, a track from Alter Ego featuring Japanese actor Kenatro Sakaguchi, making history as the first solo K-pop artist to claim the prize.

With this brand new era of music and creative collaborations, LISA is set on keeping her fans hitting repeat.
