Blackpink earlier released their sophomore album “Born Pink” as well as a music video for its title track “Shut Down.”

Fronting the eight-track record, “Shut Down” introduces a new take on the group’s signature hip-hop sound by sampling the classical “La Campanella” by Paganini. The lyrics and music video heavily referenced their past songs.

Blackpink is expected to perform the new songs in a world tour which kicks off this month. The "Born Pink” tour will have stops in at least 25 cities across four continents. The Manila leg will be on March 25, 2023.

Composed of Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, Blackpink debuted in 2016 under top K-pop label YG Entertainment. Hits include “Boombayah,” “As if It’s Your Last,” “DDU DU DDU DU,” and “How You Like That.”
