In the official release schedule, it appears that another snippet will be released on Instagram on April 19, followed by a snippet to be released on TikTok on April 20. A track titled ‘FINAL_Rec’ will be premiered on April 21, 9 PM (KST). On April 25, teasers for the track’s music video will be posted on the artist’s socials.

A previous Instagram post captures Zico and Jennie sitting down at a table while reviewing polaroid pictures and lyrics. Zico captioned to post with “Come vibe with us.” This is Zico’s first release in over a year, with “SPOT!” following “Human (Sleep Mix).” Prior to that, he released his EP titled Grown Ass Kid in 2022.
This will be Jennie’s second collaborative release after establishing her own management company, Odd Atelier (OA). In December of last year, she launched the company with a note saying, “Hi, this is Jennie. This year was filled with many accomplishments, and I’m so thankful for all the love I’ve received. I’m also excited about what’s to come, as I start my solo journey in 2024 with a company that I have established called OA. Please show lots of love for my new start with OA and of course, BLACKPINK. Thank you.”
Earlier this year, she teamed up with Matt Champion on “Slow Motion.” The song is part of his latest album titled Mika’s Laundry, which was released last March 22. Listen to the track on Spotify below.
