BLACKPINK’s Leaked Comeback Songs Spark Intense Public Backlash
As anticipation builds for BLACKPINK’s upcoming mini-album set to launch on February 27, 2026, fans are expressing mixed feelings regarding the new music. The group, which recently wrapped up a global tour, had initially scheduled their comeback for 2025. However, that timeline shifted, leading to the earlier release of the single “Jump.”
Track List and Public Reaction
On February 5, the group unveiled its official track list, revealing a total of five songs. These include:
- “Jump” (already released)
- “Go” (title track)
- “Fxxxboy” (b-side)
- “Me and My Girls” (leaked song)
- “Champion” (leaked song)
However, the announcement has not been well-received by all fans. Many expressed dissatisfaction about the limited number of tracks and the inclusion of songs that had previously leaked online.
Leaked Songs and Their Impact
Previous leaks of “Me and My Girls” and “Champion” stirred controversy when they circulated online. Following a copyright enforcement by YG Entertainment, the leaked tracks were retracted. Nevertheless, some fans were quick to note that a majority of the upcoming mini-album features songs they had already heard.
Criticism of Album Rollout
Public sentiment has shifted toward criticism, with many fans voicing their discontent regarding the perceived misogyny in the lyrics of “Me and My Girls.” Critiques have branded the recent album rollout as lazy, with some suggesting it does not meet the high expectations of BLACKPINK’s dedicated followers.
Fans took to social media to express their thoughts:
- “Two leaked songs sound terrible, and just two ‘new’ songs?” – Disappointment echoed among listeners.
- Critics labeled the album’s approach as indifferent, feeling that the group has not engaged thoroughly with their fan base.
A particular focus was placed on the sentiment that the group might have lost touch with their audience, prompting some to call for a reconsideration of their future plans.
Conclusion
The forthcoming release of BLACKPINK’s mini-album sparks a wave of anticipation but also reveals significant public backlash. Fans are hopeful for a fresh sound while remaining critical of the current trajectory of the group’s musical offerings. As the release date approaches, the spotlight remains on BLACKPINK to change the narrative surrounding their comeback.
