BLACKPINK Drops 'DEADLINE' EP: New Era Dawns

BLACKPINK has unveiled their latest music release, the EP titled 'DEADLINE,' signaling a significant new chapter for the quartet. This marks their first major music project since achieving a No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 'Born Pink' in 2022. The EP features a collection of five tracks, including the previously released single "JUMP," which charted in July.

Notably, 'DEADLINE' showcases BLACKPINK's evolution with all four new songs presented entirely in English, underscoring a deliberate shift towards a globally-focused pop identity. The project boasts an impressive roster of collaborators, including Chris Martin of Coldplay, Diplo, EJAE, and Cirkut. Production and songwriting credits feature long-time collaborators like TEDDY and IDO, alongside new additions, reflecting a rich creative synergy.

This release follows the group's extensive 'DEADLINE' World Tour, which concluded in February 2025 after visiting 16 cities. During the tour, individual members also celebrated significant solo project releases. The EP's creators, including TEDDY and EJAE, recently earned a Grammy for best song written for visual media, hinting at the high caliber of artistry present in 'DEADLINE.'
