WATCH: BLACKPINK drops ‘Lovesick Girls’ music video
The 4-member girl group recalls a love that hurts in their newest electro-dance track

The music video for BLACKPINK’s newest song “Lovesick Girls” is finally here. The edgy combination of dark tones and soft pastel hues – a nod to the group’s own name – complements the song’s message of the difficulties of love.

The YouTube video released on Friday, October 2, shows Jennie, Lisa, Rose, and Jisoo going through the motions of a relationship. The girls go from being serenaded by a partner and painting a room with them, to having emotional arguments in a car, taking a hammer to the car headlights, and tearfully trashing an unfinished pink wall with black paint. The song itself is a sorrowful plea to a relationship lost but still longed for.

The electro-dance track’s guitar sound is reminiscent of early EDM (electronic dance music), popularized by DJs like Avicii and Icona Pop. The familiarity is in part due to David Guetta, who was reportedly involved in the track’s production.

“Lovesick Girls” is the 3rd single off the Korean girl group’s first full-length Korean album, The Album. The full-length album includes singles “How You Like That” and “Ice Cream” featuring Selena Gomez. Other standouts include “Bet You Wanna” featuring Cardi B and “You Never Know.”

As of this writing, “Lovesick Girls” already has over 13 million views over an hour after its premiere. – with reports from Zoe Andin/Rappler.com
