Its the perfect song to begin my new era, Jennie said in a statement at the time.
I think Mantrawill make my fans happy but also show a new side of me as a solo artist.
This is your anthem.
Mantra marked Jennies first solo release since her one-off single You & Me.
Shekicked offher musical career outside Blackpink in 2018 with the aptly-titled Solo.
The singertoldBillboardearlier this month that she began thinking about an album when Blackpinks last tour wrapped in 2023.
Im just like that.
And instantly, I was like, I still havent accomplished the dream of releasing a solo album.
I wanted to satisfy myself by achieving that goal.
She added thatRubywill showcase her as a whole person.
The overall sound was me making sure I like every single [song].
I didnt want to be forced into putting a song onto my album thats what I really fought for.
I think were ready.
That same year, Jennie toldRolling Stoneshe would always be connected to Blackpink, regardless of her solo career.
I dont think Blackpink will ever end in my heart, as corny as that sounds, she said.
Regardless of what I do, I will always be Blackpink.
Even if were 70 and we have different lives, Ill still feel like Im Blackpink.
Blackpink, to me, is more than whether we do music or not.
Its a part of my family.
You cant deny your family.
