Blackpink's Album, Born Pink, Will Be Out Sooner Than You Think

The biggest girl group in the world is making its comeback.

After two years of solo activity following the release of their 2020 sophomore album, The Album, the girls of Blackpink — LISA, Rosé, Jennie, and Jisoo — are finally ready to release new music. YG Entertainment, their label, officially announced the group’s highly-anticipated return on July 5, previewing a massive string of months to come. In addition to new music and the forthcoming release of their new album, titled Born Pink, the members will also embark on “the largest world tour in the history of a K-pop girl group” before the end of the year, per a press release. Indeed, it’s no longer a saying and just a fact: Blackpink *will* be in your area.

Although the group hasn’t released music as a unit since late 2020, their visibility has seemingly skyrocketed since, with its members becoming staples in the high fashion and beauty arena. Rosé and Lisa also embarked on their own solo projects during the group’s break with Rosé releasing her first solo album, R, in March 2021 and Lisa following that up with her own record, Lalisa, in September. Still, demand for the quartet has only grown. Luckily, it seems like there’s no dearth of new content coming our way.

Below, find everything we know about the “How You Like That” singers’ 2022 comeback including information about their album, release date, tracklist, and upcoming tour.
