Excitement is in the air as BLACKPINK’s Rosé prepares to unveil a thrilling new collaboration with American singer-songwriter Alex Warren. The buzz reached a fever pitch on June 11 KST, when Warren shared a tantalizing snippet of their upcoming track, sending fans into a frenzy.
Warren, whose single “Ordinary” is currently dominating the Billboard Hot 100, teased his followers on Instagram with a brief clip and the caption, “I CANNOT WAIT for y’all to hear this…” Fans quickly recognized Rosé’s signature soulful vocals, igniting speculation about the collaboration. Adding to the intrigue, Warren playfully hinted, “You will never guess who’s featuring in this song,” before dropping a subtle clue in a follow-up post. He shared a photo from the 2025 American Music Awards, wearing a shirt with a logo patch reading “Rose,” which many fans took as confirmation of Rosé’s involvement.
Reports suggest that the track, titled “On My Mind,” will feature on Warren’s upcoming album, “You’ll Be Alright, Kid.” Interestingly, the official press release from Atlantic Records, which represents both artists, did not mention this collaboration, leading fans to believe it was a last-minute addition that could pack a punch.
While no official release date has been announced for “On My Mind,” the anticipation is building, and fans are eager for the track’s debut. Meanwhile, Rosé continues to inspire other artists. Her song “APT” recently found its way onto the popular Korean reality show “Earth Arcade,” and members of the girl group IVE were spotted singing it on a different program. Additionally, rising artist Gawon from Meovv performed a snippet of Rosé’s emotional track “Messy” during a live session, while ITZY’s Lia included “Dance All Night” in her Spotify recommendations.
In a heartwarming moment, BTS member Jin expressed his admiration for Rosé during a recent interview, stating, “I love ‘APT’ by Rosé-ssi and Bruno Mars.” His affectionate use of “Rosé-ssi” delighted fans, with many commenting on how charming his phrasing was. This sweet moment further highlights Rosé’s growing influence as she carves out her solo legacy beyond YG.
As BLACKPINK gears up for their highly anticipated comeback album and the Deadline tour, Jisoo shared her heartfelt longing to reunite with her bandmates. In an interview with Vogue Singapore, she reminisced about the joy of sharing meals and experiences during their tours, a sentiment echoed by fans eager to see the group back together on stage.
On the acting front, Lisa is generating significant buzz as awards season approaches. Although she was unable to attend the HBO’s “The White Lotus” “For Your Consideration” screening on June 11 KST due to her busy schedule, her performance as Mook has garnered her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at the upcoming 2025 Emmys. The event aimed to rally industry professionals and Emmy voters around the hit series and Lisa’s standout role.
Should Lisa receive a nomination, there’s speculation she might take a brief hiatus from the Deadline tour to attend the Emmys in September. Fans are already rallying behind her, hoping for an Emmy win that would further solidify BLACKPINK’s impact across music, fashion, and film.
As the excitement builds for Rosé’s collaboration and BLACKPINK’s comeback, fans are left wondering what surprises the girls have in store next.
