The record, led by the lead track "Go," marks the quartet's first group project since its 2022 full-length album "Born Pink," which topped both the United States (US) Billboard 200 and the British Official Albums Chart Top 100.
According to YG Entertainment, the group's agency, the five-track album due out at 2 pm explores themes of confidence, growth and unity, combining elements of EDM, hip-hop and pop.

"Despite the tight schedule of its large-scale world tour, BLACKPINK invested significant time and effort to enhance the album's completeness," the agency said in a statement. "We believe the result captures both the members' individual musical artistry and their synergy as a team.
