On June 23, the highly anticipated song "One of the Girls" by BLACKPINK's JENNIE, The Weeknd, and Lily-Rose Depp, made its grand debut across digital platforms.
The song presents a slow-burning R&B experience, infused with ethereal and spacey elements, creating an intriguing atmosphere while lyrically, embraces a provocative and seductive theme in line with what you see in 'The Idol.'
The vocal performances on the track are notable, with The Weeknd delivering his signature allure and captivating delivery. The chemistry between The Weeknd, Jennie, and Lily-Rose enhances the song’s appeal, as their subtle yet captivating performances match the sensuous tone. Jennie provides an enticing introduction and bridge, while Lily-Rose takes charge of a verse and the chorus, maintaining a seamless flow of sensuality.
These contributing elements have propelled "One of The Girls" to prominence on social media platforms, making it one of the most eagerly awaited songs of the year, as acclaimed by several influential media outlets including Vogue and Billboard. It has also achieved trending status worldwide on Twitter, with Jennie's significant contribution to hashtag mentions underscoring her influence.
Despite the sensual and provocative connotation, "One of the Girls" was well received by the general public, gaining a lot of strength on digital music platforms, surprising even the most detractors since, unlike the musical releases of other artists, the song was announced just a day before and even "The Weeknd" through his official accounts made it clear that "One of The Girls" was a soundtrack specifically dedicated to viewers of the series "The Idol" so it was not it would not be promoted on any platform nor would it be on any official Spotify playlist.
The song went on to mark a major Spotify debut in its own right, achieving 1.432 million streams on its first day, making it Jennie's biggest streaming debut as a soloist on the platform, surpassing her previous hit "Solo," which was released in 2018.
This milestone is being deservedly celebrated by BLACKPINK fans as it happened organically just a few days after it was announced that Jennie is the first Korean soloist in history to have a song surpass 500 million streams on Spotify with " Solo" and along with Lisa's "Money" are the only songs by Asian acts Soloists to boast that number of views on the platform.
Congratulations to BLACKPINK's JENNIE!
Lol jennie/BP fans are on the Propaganda level of Biden/Putin/Selensky for real.
It's not HER biggest solo entry, it's her biggest entry as a FEATURED artist lol. Those sick fans always flip everything around like it's about their artists, when it's really not. And before you call me a hater: this song is on repeat on my playlist, but truth gotta be told
