Listen: BLACKPINK's Deadline mini-album is here
BLACKPINK's Deadline has landed and already has fans talking.
BLACKPINK have returned with a new mini‑album, Deadline, marking the group’s first substantial collective studio effort since 2022's Born Pink.
Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa and Rosé wrapped the Deadline tour on January 26 at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium, a month prior to the release.
The five‑track project follows last summer’s lead single, Jump, and is completed by Go, Me and My, Champion and Fxxxboy.
In a statement, YG Entertainment said the members worked on the record throughout their touring schedule, adding that the mini‑album highlights both their individual strengths and their work as a group.
The label said the quartet “devoted significant time and effort” to shaping the new material.
The release arrives after a period of solo activity for all four members.
Lisa previously confirmed they had been back in the studio together, telling Variety that the group were “super excited to get back together and go on tour” and that they “really miss the Blinks.”
Each member has built a strong solo catalogue in the years since Born Pink:
Rosé released her album Rosie, which includes the Bruno Mars collaboration APT, which earned the pair three Grammy nominations.
Lisa issued her full‑length project Alter Ego and made her acting debut in HBO’s The White Lotus, filmed in Thailand.
Jennie launched her debut solo release, Ruby, last year.
Jisoo, meanwhile, added to her own discography with the EP Amortage.
