Jennie’s new single 'Mantra'

K-Pop superstar Jennie, known for her role in the globally acclaimed group Blackpink, has unveiled her highly anticipated new single, "Mantra," along with a vibrant music video under Columbia Records/Oddatelier. Jennie describes the single as "an exciting start to my new era" and believes "Mantra" will not only delight her fans but also showcase a fresh direction in her solo career. Inspired by her time recording in Los Angeles, she hopes that listeners will feel the energy of positivity, empowerment and staying true to oneself.

"Mantra" delivers an empowering message to women and girls, encouraging them to love themselves as they are. The track features a robust bass line and a bold rhythm, with Jennie confidently stating, "Sometimes girls just need to have fun." Accompanied by a striking music video, "Mantra" is set to make waves on global music charts.

Regarding the video filmed in Los Angeles, Jennie emphasized its theme of female empowerment and self-confidence. She expressed her excitement about the final product: "It was important to keep the overall vision consistent, and I loved the result." "Mantra" is the lead single from Jennie’s upcoming solo album in partnership with Columbia Records Oddatelier.
