BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ is opening a fresh chapter in her solo career with “new trick,” a vibrant new single that highlights a lighter and more playful side of her musical identity.

Released on September 18, 2026, the pop-rock track arrives with a noticeably different energy from the emotional and introspective atmosphere that has characterized much of ROSÉ’s previous solo material. Driven by electric-guitar textures and an upbeat attitude, “new trick” presents the singer in a more carefree and confident musical setting.

The release is accompanied by a music video directed by acclaimed filmmaker Dave Meyers, who previously collaborated with BLACKPINK on the visual for “JUMP.” Adding another interesting dimension to the project, the “new trick” video was filmed entirely using the iPhone 18 Pro, combining ROSÉ’s new musical direction with a technology-focused visual concept.

ROSÉ first teased the song through social media, using a playful lollipop-themed visual to introduce the title and give fans an early taste of the track’s guitar-driven sound. The campaign immediately suggested that this release would carry a different mood from the more melancholic storytelling associated with some of her earlier songs.

The single also continues an eventful period in ROSÉ’s solo career. Since making her official solo debut in 2021, she has expanded her international profile through her first full-length album, “rosie,” released in December 2024, as well as major collaborations with global artists.

Among those collaborations, “APT.” with Bruno Mars became one of the defining releases of her solo career, reaching the top of the Billboard Philippines Hot 100. More recently, ROSÉ collaborated with Alex Warren on “On My Mind,” further demonstrating her growing presence beyond the traditional boundaries of K-pop.

“new trick” also completes a notable year of individual releases from the BLACKPINK members. JENNIE, LISA and JISOO have each introduced solo material in 2026, allowing every member to showcase a distinct musical personality while remaining connected through BLACKPINK.

For ROSÉ, “new trick” represents more than another addition to her solo catalog. Its energetic pop-rock sound, playful presentation and high-profile visual production show an artist continuing to experiment with how she presents herself outside the group. Rather than staying within one emotional or musical formula, ROSÉ appears ready to explore a broader range of sounds — and “new trick” offers listeners a lively glimpse of where that evolution could lead next.
