Data Insight

The Album is built around Teddy Park and the YG and Black Label production camp, with Teddy credited across the record alongside collaborators including 24, R.Tee, Tommy Brown, Steven Franks, Tushar Apte and Bekuh Boom. Member authorship is limited but present: Jennie and Jisoo both share lyric credits on 'Lovesick Girls,' with Jennie also credited on its composition. The two highest-profile cuts lean on outside stars rather than internal writing, with 'Ice Cream' written by a team that includes Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande and Victoria Monet, and 'Bet You Wanna' featuring Cardi B. The result is a producer-led debut where Blackpink's own pen surfaces mainly on the title track.

The Album is BLACKPINK's debut studio album, released October 2, 2020 on YG Entertainment and Interscope Records. It became the best-charting Korean girl group album ever on the Billboard 200 at the time, debuting at number two. The album features collaborations with Selena Gomez ('Ice Cream') and Cardi B ('Bet You Wanna'). Ariana Grande contributed songwriting to 'Ice Cream.' Teddy Park wrote or co-wrote all eight tracks. Jennie and Jisoo received lyricist credits on 'Lovesick Girls.'
