After nearly two years of global ventures, solo projects, and brand ambassadorships, BLACKPINK is finally back together—and the wait was worth it. Their new single album, “Eclipse,” dropped on April 18, 2025, and is already breaking records.
“Eclipse” blends electro-R&B with a moody trap beat, giving BLINKs a darker, more introspective BLACKPINK. The lyrics speak of duality and transformation, using the eclipse as a metaphor for growth, femininity, and silent strength.
The music video is a cinematic masterpiece. Directed by Seo Hyun-sung, it features interstellar sets, high-fashion wardrobe changes, and rich symbolism—especially scenes of light and shadow that reflect the song’s core message. Each member gets a solo spotlight, with Jisoo’s visual-heavy verses, Lisa’s fast-paced rap, Rosé’s emotional bridge, and Jennie’s icy vocals.
Aside from the title track, the B-side “Burn It Up” is a dance anthem with heavy bass and addictive hooks, quickly becoming a fan favorite.
BLACKPINK’s performance on SBS Inkigayo showcased their charisma and elegance, with choreography that included voguing, hand isolations, and an iconic ending pose featuring a total blackout on stage.
Within 24 hours, the “Eclipse” MV surpassed 30 million views, and the album reached #1 on iTunes in over 60 countries. BLACKPINK proves once again that they’re not just global stars—they’re cultural icons shaping the future of K-pop.
