Blackpink Unveils ‘Deadline’ Comeback Mini Album
Today marks a significant milestone for Blackpink as they unveil their new mini album, “Deadline.” This release marks the group’s first official project in over three years.

Album Highlights
Along with the mini album, Blackpink has released a music video for the energetic track “Go.” This song showcases the group’s signature blend of anthemic EDM influences. Fans can listen to the full album on various streaming platforms.
Background and Development
The announcement of “Deadline” came in January 2023, sharing its name with Blackpink’s recent world tour. The album follows their 2022 full-length release, “Born Pink.” “Deadline” continues to build on the group’s impressive discography, which also includes hits from their earlier mini albums, “Square Up” and “Kill This Love.”
Creative Team
The single “Jump,” released in July, signals the group’s comeback. Notably, Blackpink collaborated with a diverse group of songwriters, including TEDDY, Diplo, and Zikai. The production team featured prominent names such as Diplo, Boaz Van De Beatz, and Ape Drums, demonstrating a high level of artistic collaboration.
Solo Endeavors and Return
Since the release of “Born Pink,” members of Blackpink focused on individual projects. Rosé launched her solo album “Rosie,” including the collaboration “Apt” with Bruno Mars. Lisa released her solo project titled “Alter Ego” and appeared in the latest season of “The White Lotus,” filmed in Thailand. Jennie and Jisoo also debuted solo projects, with Jennie releasing “Ruby” and Jisoo unveiling her EP “Amortage.”
World Tour Success
After a break in solo activities, Blackpink reactivated their group presence with the “Deadline World Tour,” which began in Seoul and concluded in Hong Kong in January. A historic highlight of their tour occurred when Blackpink became the first K-pop girl group to headline Wembley Stadium, where they paid homage to the Spice Girls by performing “Wannabe.”
YG Entertainment’s Statement
YG Entertainment, Blackpink’s record label, expressed pride in the new album’s creation. They stated that despite a packed world tour schedule, the members dedicated considerable time to perfecting “Deadline.” The label assured fans that this album encapsulates both individual artistry and the group’s collective synergy.
