I think this is a pretty good album, especially for a first album. And I think it's the best out of all of the comebacks from the Blackpink girls. It's certainly better made, with better lyricism compared to some of the other songs (especially from Lisa). I think Jennie has more potential at being better as a soloist, and it seems like she wants to focus on her solo stuff...

like Jennie 💚
For this to be considered a song...is kind of a crime, since it's 2:03. Really? It's 2025...why are we still making short ass "songs". This is more like an intro. Anyway, I love this...pretty self-centered, but I guess the Blackpink members are good at that...well at least the rap line. But I think this really suits Jennie, I just wished it was longer...because I just know if this was at least 2:30 to 3 minutes, we could've had some cool verses from Jennie.

start a war 💛
This song has gone up in my favor, but I still wouldn't listen to this song that often. I don't know, I think it's the instrumental or the way she sings in this in some parts...I'm just not the biggest fan of it. The chorus is fine, but leading up to it isn't my favorite. It could be the mixing, but I don't think it's as good as her other songs.

Handlebars 💚
Wow, I forget how good this song is. I love Dua Lipa in this, her voice with Jennie's just makes it so much better. They suit each other so well. I need to listen to this song more often, because it really is a great song. Kind of surprised I rated this song 4 stars initially, because to me this is 4.5 minimum. So... I was kind of insane when I rated this. My favorite part is this:

"I wonder what you're doing for tonight and forever (Oh-oh)
I could be the rest of your life or whatever
My lips and your lips, we could press them together (Together, 'gether)
I don't ever think twice, and, baby, that's why" (Pre-Chorus with Jennie and Dua Lipa)

Their vocals are just chef's kiss. Especially in this part, it's the highlight of the song.

One of the best songs to come out of this album, and it's not even close (other than one song on here). This could've been the title track, but I'm going to stop complaining about the length of that...song. Even if this song isn't THAT much better, it's still longer. I love her attitude in this song, and she owns it...I can appreciate that. I also love her vocals, with the instrumental...it's just so up my alley, I love it so much.

Zen 💚
This may not be my favorite out of the album, but I understand if it is someone's favorite. It has that IT factor that makes me love the song, it's still an amazing song and up there in my favorites. I would love more songs like this in the future, because it really suits her. I also love the instrumental, it's really interesting. I can appreciate that this is above 3 minutes, the bar is in hell...probably below it at the point.

Damn Right 💛
Better than start a war, but still not my favorite from this album unfortunately. The features are pretty good; I just don't go to this song that often. I do like Kali's verse, and Childish Gambino's verse was good at first, but it fell flat to me...I know he can do better than that. And it didn't really fit the rest of the song. I do like the instrumental, and that it's trap soul. I love the chorus, but the whole song doesn't work fully for me, I don't know, it feels like something is missing.

F.T.S. 💚
I don't like it as much as I originally did, but it's still a nice b-side. I do like Jennie's voice in this, and how she sings specifically...it's a bit different than how she usually sings. And I think it really fits her and the song itself. I do think Jennie really suits this genre of music, and I wouldn't mind more songs in this realm.

Filter 💚
I honestly forgot about this song, oops. But I do like it, I think I like it better than I used to. It's pretty interesting compared to the other songs. I think she should dive more into this type of sound, because I think she really suits it a lot. The instrumental isn't my favorite but isn't terrible...the chorus is probably my favorite part of this song. Next to the post/pre-chorus. Would definitely love more songs in this realm, it just feels badass, yet elegant.

Seoul City 💚
My favorite song on here by far, and my favorite comeback in general from all of the girls. I need more songs like this, because this is just amazing. I could listen to this song over and over and never get tired of it. Her vocals, the instrumental, and everything else...is just chef's kiss. I love everything about this song, and I think she should do more songs that are in this realm. It's just so pretty and up my alley...

So, this song is definitely better than a 3.5 rating, because genuinely what was I doing? Yeah, the beginning is a bit slower, but once it gets to the middle of the first verse, it's great. The pre-chorus is also really good, and then it gets to the chorus. This is actually a really good song, and I'm mad at myself for rating this a 3.5.

"It's way deeper than what you think
I'm tired of that Novacane
Put all that shit away (Away)
I wanna feel everything
I was just a white, white, white, lie, lie
Truth comes out in time, time, time, every time
I know where my soul has been" (Verse 1)

"Now I remember the night
Remember the night
Now I remember the night
Remember the night" (Pre-Chorus)

"Like we gon' levitate
Gon' levitate to the 808
I gravitate to the real, not fake
And this time, it's on me" (Verse 2)

I don't know why, but this song makes me cry. Yay, most of the time if something (books, movies, songs...etc) make me cry, that's a good thing. Unless I'm crying in rage, then maybe not. But anyway, I really enjoy this song. And I think it's a great way to end an album, while it is a slower song, it isn't boring as fuck. It's also a huge grower for me, everything about this song feels like a bittersweet hug. I love that this isn't a cliche boring song, even if it is a slower song.
