When you think of icons in the K-Pop industry, it’s almost guaranteed that JENNIE is one of the first people who comes to mind! She’s become a total superstar from music to fashion as part of BLACKPINK and in her own work, and we can’t wait to see what she has in store for us with this new era. After recently signing with Columbia Records in partnership with her own ODDATELIER company, JENNIE has been teasing a new single called ‘Mantra’ that sounds absolutely addictive!
Make sure you pre-save ‘Mantra’ on JENNIE’s website before she releases it on October 11th! And while we wait, let’s look back at some mantra-worthy lyrics Jennie has given us over the years, which are bound to inspire you.
“Everybody cheers for me, clink, clink, clink…”
JENNIE has truly been that girl from the very beginning. This line from BLACKPINK’s ‘BOOMBAYAH’ reflects Jennie’s confidence and how it makes her seem even more impressive to others. The way you carry yourself can definitely impact how people see you, and she uses that to her advantage!
“We’re the protagonists / Say life’s a b*tch? But mine’s a movie…”
Before the whole Main Character thing blew up on TikTok, ‘Forever Young’ showed us that BLACKPINK are some of the main characters of the music industry! It also teaches us about the power of having the right mindset. If you complain often or focus on the negative aspects of life, you’ll become fixated on them and they’ll take up a lot more of your headspace. Make sure you take more time to appreciate the good things and focus on the things you’re grateful to have!
“Used to be your girl, now I’m used to being the G.O.A.T. / You’re sitting on your feelings, I’m sitting on my throne…”
JENNIE was the first member of BLACKPINK to go solo when she released the aptly-named ‘SOLO’ in November 2018, and this lyric has lived in our minds ever since! Much like the lyric we chose from ‘Forever Young,’ this line reminds us to put our energy towards positivity and growth rather than disappointment or frustration. And if the 1 billion+ views Jennie has earned on the ‘SOLO’ music video are any indication, that positive focus will definitely get you places.
“If I let you in my circle, you a winner…”
This JENNIE line from BLACKPINK’s ‘Typa Girl’ will remind you to always be careful of the company you keep. Being around the right people should make you feel cared for, appreciated, and even motivated at times. A lot of people even intentionally spend time with people “above their level” to encourage them to push harder for their dreams! Ditch the drama and find your true friends.
“I love you, I love me a lot, wait / Which one do I love better? Better off not saying…”
The rest of the lyrics we’re discussing will come from JENNIE’s solo work, starting with this one from ‘You & Me!’ It’s a dreamy love song, but still has that confident undertone Jennie brings to so many of her verses. Even in a seemingly perfect relationship, she prioritizes her self-love and knows that she’s unbreakable if she puts herself first.
“Sometimes girls just gotta have fun…”
Finally, we had to pick a lyric from the ‘Mantra’ previews we’ve gotten so far! Described as a Pretty Girl anthem, we already know this is gonna be an absolute bop with a healthy dose of empowerment. Whether you’re a girl or not, it’s key to have a healthy balance between work and play to make sure you’re having fun and enjoying your life.
Which of these lyrics resonates with you the most? Is there another JENNIE line you’d consider your personal ‘Mantra?’ Let us know in the comments below or hit us up on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!
