The Recording Academy GRAMMY Awards thrilled fans by honoring women in music who have broken down barriers and paved the way for a more inclusive industry. Through a carefully curated Spotify playlist titled "More Women, More Music: Women's History Month 2025," the Grammys invite you to celebrate the impact of what they consider the female empowerment anthems that can sum up the last year of leadership in music history, with major hits such as Taylor Swift's "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart," Beyoncé's "American Requiem," Ariana Grande's "Yes, And?", Sabrina Carpenter's "15 Minutes," among others. To the pride of South Korea and Thailand, BLACKPINK's Jennie and Lisa were integral parts of this must-listen empowerment playlist, where their hits "Mantra" and "New Woman" were chosen by the music experts.
Lisa's "New Woman" is a powerful statement of self-discovery and celebrates women's ability to reinvent themselves and find a new version of themselves, stronger and more confident despite adversity. The song emphasizes the importance of focusing on one's own mind and energy, with the lyrics conveying a sense of breaking barriers and overcoming challenges.
While Jennie's "Mantra" is a celebration of confidence and feminine power, the lyrics highlight the idea that "pretty girls" have their own mantra, a kind of code of conduct that guides them in their lives, touching on themes such as freedom and independence, not being affected by negative energies or people who try to dull their shine. Living life by their own rules, enjoying life to the fullest, and not letting anyone ruin the good time.
