The upcoming album will mark the band's first new music release since April 2019, when their EP 'Kill This Love' dropped.
. The group will be featured on the track"Sour Candy," joining Elton John and Ariana Grande on the singer's upcoming album.
The record-breaking group has bagged several accolades since debuting in 2016. Blackpink is the first female K-pop group to have four number one songs on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart and the first and only K-pop girl band to make Billboard's Emerging Artists chart. As of 2019, Blackpink is the highest-charting female K-pop act on the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts, peaking at number 41 and number 24, respectively.
Frustration among fans over Blackpink's comeback has been building in recent months following previous announcements made by YG Entertainment on new music releases and the solo debuts of band members. K-pop group Blackpink performs on stage during the 8th Gaon Chart K-Pop Awards on January 23, 2019 in Seoul, South Korea."Within the year 2019, it is my goal and desire that BLACKPINK makes 2 comebacks while the three remaining members release solo tracks in the order of Rosé, Lisa, and Jisoo," Yang Hyun-suk, the founder of YG Entertainment, wrote on the company's blog in February 2019.
Last December, fans of the group launched a campaign urging YG Entertainment to fulfill promises they allegedly had yet to fulfill regarding Blackpink's comeback. A truck blasting Blackpink's music was reported to have been driven around the neighborhood in Seoul where YG Entertainment's office is located, while a video was played outlining fans' demands from the label.
