Just like many of Blackpink’s previous releases, “Pink Venom” is just as catchy and total ear candy. In a press conference, member Jisoo described it as a track with a “hip-hop sound mixed with Korean traditional instruments.”
But what really stands out about the song are the lyrics, which seem to describe Blackpink’s status in the music industry — powerful and unstoppable. They sing about being on top of their game and pretty much being unstoppable. “Eat your popcorn, don’t think about cutting in / I talk that talk, runways I walk, walk / Eyes closed pop pop no need to look / Everything collapses at the flick of my fingertip,” the lyrics read, per Genius. They also sing about their “pink venom,” which they use to fight anyone attempting to bring them down. “Provoke us if you’d like / You can’t handle it and you know this / Already spread, shot that potion / Pink ocean right before your eyes.”
Meanwhile, member Jennie said that the song best represents Blackpink’s essence. “Since our album’s title is Born Pink, we wanted to relay our identity in the song as much as we could,” Jennie shared at the press conference (via Billboard). “Since ‘pink’ and ‘venom’ have contradicting images, we thought they were kind of reminiscent of us… we are named BLACKPINK and contradiction is our charm — we wanted to show that. It’s pink venom, a lovely poison, it’s words that most express us.”
