BLACKPINK is back and ready to dominate the charts once again. The global K-pop powerhouse returned on Friday (July 11) with their new digital single “JUMP,” marking their first release as a group in nearly three years.

The high-octane track, which made its live debut during the kickoff of BLACKPINK’s World Tour DEADLINE in Goyang, South Korea, last weekend, is already sending shockwaves through the BLINK fandom and beyond. Earlier this week, the band dropped a teaser for the “JUMP” music video ahead of the release.

Written by an all-star lineup of TEDDY, Diplo, 24, Zikai, Claudia Valentina, Jumpa, Malachiii and Jesse Bluu — and produced by Diplo, 24, Boaz Van De Beatz, Zecca and Ape Drums — “JUMP” sees BLACKPINK boldly venture into hardstyle territory.

Each member — JISOO, JENNIE, ROSÉ and LISA — shines across the track’s unpredictable hooks and pounding beats, showcasing their individual vocal colors while delivering a united, addictive energy.

The new release comes as BLACKPINK kick off their massive World Tour DEADLINE, which will see the quartet perform 31 shows across 16 cities, including two-night stadium stops in Los Angeles, New York, Paris and London. Following their South Korea opener, the group are set to bring the tour stateside this weekend for a two-night stint at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

The tour will then continue overseas throughout the summer and fall, making stops in France, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore,Japan and Hong Kong.

“JUMP” also sets the stage for the next chapter in BLACKPINK’s career after a three-year hiatus that saw each member pursue solo ventures, from JENNIE’s acting debut in The Idol to ROSÉ and LISA’s solo music success.

BLACKPINK hasn’t shared new music since 2023’s “The Girls,” which the foursome released specially for Blackpink The Game. Before that came 2022 album Born Pink, which topped the Billboard 200.

“Jump” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
