BLACKPINK's Jennie has done it again and didn't fail to impress fans and listeners worldwide.


On February 21, Jennie finally released the pre-release single "ExtraL" with Doechii. The track immediately took off, and the music video is trending on YouTube.

The latest track delivers the message of female empowerment. The chorus celebrates women's independence and ability to be successful, while the lyrics are equally matched with a heavy pop element, including a slick, bass-heavy beat.

Jennie's latest solo track has been garnering much attention and generating much praise. In particular, Korean netizens are impressed with Jennie's rapping skills. They commented:

"I'm so serious. This is so good."
"I kept saying 'Wow' when listening to the song."
"Jennie is the only one who can pull off 'ExtraL' and 'Love Hangover'… Her genre versatility is insane. So far, she’s done 'Mantra,' 'Zen,' 'Love Hangover,' and now 'ExtraL.' I’m seriously looking forward to Jennie’s album."

"Jennie wrote and composed the song. With this, every track from her album revealed so far 'Mantra', 'Love Hangover', and 'ExtraL' has her name credited as a songwriter, composer, or producer. (*Zen* hasn’t had its credits released yet, so it’s still unknown.)"

"I keep rewatching the music video… I feel like I’ve never seen Jennie with this kind of vibe before."

"I think Jennie sounds amazing when she sings and raps in Korean instead of English."

"Her songs have this weird pull that makes you want to listen again. I don’t know what kind of addictiveness it is, but it’s something."
