This is so 2013. The verses are okay but that chorus really bothers me.

This is f**king spectacular. Sounds like something that would smash in Europe but probably not the (tasteless) US.

Here's to another bop that the US is gonna ignore. I'll take the English-Korean vibe of it.

K-POp is awesome. Blows American pop out of the water. Those are my thoughts. That being said, I hope this song has more BLACKPINK vibe than Dua Lipa. K-pop just takes elements from American and J-pop though. That aside, this song is just meh for me on first listen. Takes really long to get to BLACKPINK it feels and there isn't too much there. The production isn't really exciting either. It's less energetic than I hoped it would be. I probably should have specified that I like the fun, cutsie, dancepop K-pop style. I don't get a fun vibe from U.S. Pop anymore. Just as I thought? This new collab is not fun.

I don't get a fun vibe from U.S. Pop anymore. Just as I thought? This new collab is not fun. That cutsie style is definitely a J-pop thing. The popular idol groups are generally very upbeat, charming, and I'd say more mature and refined than (some) K-pop tends to be. A lot of J-pop groups go more clean cut, whereas groups like BTS and BLACKPINK like to do the more bad boy/bad girl style. At least from what I heard. And like I said, they do take a LOT from American hip-hop. But there are groups like TWICE that definitely go more cute. I actually thought they were a J-pop group when I first heard them.

Not on Top 200 US. Yet, Ruin My Life is in the top 100.

BlackPink is iconic, and I am here for this (even if I'm bored by most of Dua's music). I prefer almost everything on Square Up to this, but it's still a banger.

This is so 2013. The verses are okay but that chorus really bothers me. This contains no indie rock, lyrical hip hop, controversial hip hop about butts, sex, money, and drugs, and no Bailando. Therefore, it is not 2013.

Therefore, it is not 2013. I think you're forgetting the countless other pop hits of 2013. This is absolutely in the same vein as "I Knew You Were Trouble.," "Mirrors," "Clarity," "Love Somebody," "Roar," "Safe and Sound," "Come & Get It," "I Love It," etc. It's a totally fine song, but I'm just not into it.

Take me back to 2011. I miss this music.
(Can y'all imagine a Charli "1999" type song for 2011? We're getting old...)

I like this. Nothing whoa, but it's good. The 2011-2013 mention is spot on. Anyone could have been on this during that period and it would have been top 20 on CHR at least. If Rihanna had sung it, it'd have been a contender for the top spot. This wouldn't have sounded out of place on Talk That Talk or Unapologetic.

It's far more mellow than I was expecting. Grew on me after several listens, nothing extraordinary but solid. My only complaint is Jennie's "leave this party" sounds really...garbled?

I heard this on the radio (satellite) once or twice in the last week. I was surprised.

This is a global smash that's going to get away because neither artists' management is interested in doing anything for it at the moment.

As far as we know, the era is over. We should be getting news about her second album early next year.
Internationally they could push this though, considering the Silk City collab has peaked on most markets. In the US it would mean giving up on "Electricity" (which is the superior song but is also doing nada outside of Pop radio).
