.BLACKPINK's first album single since 2020 interpolates Rihanna’s first hit, “Pon de Replay.”
The K-pop girl group’s management company, YG Entertainment, shared the song and video for the new song, “Pink Venom,” which is their first album single since their 2020 debut,The dance track, clearly created to be blasted in cars, bars, clubs, and workout classes around the world, interpolates Rihanna’s 2005 breakout single, “” Specifically, the lines “one by one, two by two” along with the beat used are a callback to the Bajan singer’s first hit.
Jennie, the rapper of the group, added: “I don’t think hip-hop is just about rapping. Look at Rihanna, she could make anything hip-hop. Hip-hop means something different to everyone. To me, it’s the spirit of cool — vibes, swag, whatever words you can use. I think Blackpink’s hip-hop is something the world hasn’t seen before.

Maybe if the really cool rappers in America, who do ‘real hip-hop,’ look at us, it can seem a little like kids doing things. Our hip-hop isn’t the rebellious kind, but we are doing something very cool. What hip-hop is this? I don’t know! It’s just cool!”
