Is BLACKPINK’s Jennie “Mantra” teaser a diss for the haters?

BLACKPINK’s Jennie is back going solo and she’s bolder than ever! The idol has been teasing fans with her upcoming solo single “Mantra.” Dropping on October 11th, 2024, Jennie’s latest track already has fans buzzing thanks to its sassy, diss-like lyrics possibly aimed at the critics who’ve had too much to say about her social life.

In her new teaser, Jennie serves fierce vibes rocking pink hair and a lip piercing, while biting into a cherry with her signature sexy attitude. Fans speculate that this line claps back at those who have been dragging her for living her best life, attending parties, and mixing her K-pop side with some Western pop magic. And Jennie isn’t just defending herself. She’s standing up for her BLACKPINK sisters, dropping lines like, “Me and my sis we’re too attached / It’s not that deep / We’re not that dumb.”

The song marks Jennie’s first solo release since parting ways with YG Entertainment and starting her new journey with Columbia Records for her solo projects. With the teaser already taking the internet by storm, it’s clear that “Mantra” is set to be another iconic anthem for Jennie!
