Hey guys! The listening party for this album is out now on our Patreon!! Come join us Patreon.com/formoftherapy

[@beatricep103]

I love how simple this is. Just them four. No backup dancers. No actors. Not even too fancy of a set design. The focus is solely on them! And can we just talk about the song? The singular violin is the only real 'filler', the rest of the song is purely driven by their vocals. And they sing in their lower registers WHAAAT?!?! Ngl this is everything I didn't know I needed from Blackpink 💕🖤

[@xmoqax5763]

Not too fancy do you know much a Lamborghini is 💀

[@fullyactivated]

I didn’t even realize there were no back dancers

[@nicmakinano]

I mean, it was a crazy set design. But it was "toned-down" for a group like BLACKPINK HAHA

[@emanna7868]

low key, many haters say that they are in a dungeon... well if so, I need all the props of that werehouse/ dungeun. They and only them ( and I am not only talking of the girls), decide when to go Up/ Out. For that reason, at least for me. They are not only refering to a change of era.The universe that they create in every video are wonderfull tools. Like colors... You just don´t let them aside. You work with every discover and that, hopefully, will give you, not only consistant, but also a self color

[@HelloWorld-kt7jk]

i do have to confess that i needed some time to process this package because it's much more stripped back than their usual stuff, but now i absolutely love it. their aura en confidence are unmatched and they don't need excessive props, editing or dancers to dominate

[@Adawing]

Some people are really disappointed bc they reused sets, bc it didn't feel new, it felt "lazy", or "YG is lacking imagination", etc. But NO. They're missing the point. This is genius to me. They are not really reusing sets per say. They are shifting to a different era by saying goodbye to their past songs and continuing world domination. And everyone's rapping ! That's new ! It slapped, IDC. It freaking slapped and it's art. And the fact that they used a classical sample and nailed it ! Gosh, I just loved it. It felt new, it hit hard, but it also felt nostalgic too in a way.

[@SquishieZZZ]

I don't think they're necessarily saying 'bye' to those eras. I see it as them using those eras as examples of when haters tried to tear them down, but showing that they only kept getting better each time. Lisa bringing back her sword and literally slashing records with it is just showing that they are still breaking records now. Rosie sitting on a global that is now black and pink shows that they now dominate the World.

[@shean_bobawon]

Right as you can see, they were shutting down their past sets and goes to another level when they went in the elevator and rosé clicked "UP." That means new level and just getting up from now on.

[@junkoenoshima420]

i have a theory that they referenced their old MVs to symbolize the way they say your life flashes before your eyes before it ends because this could be meant to be their disbandment MV/song

[@Ramses060784]

Maybe they are saying goodbye

[@christinakanevito961]

I completely agree with this

[@markkostecki4558]

The La Campanella sample is genius and so new for BP. Classical music really brings the elegance/excellence to one of the heaviest hip hop groups in the biz 10/10. Also allll the references to the past MVs was fire

[@johnbignold960]

i love shrek and it's not the his fault at all but you gotta admit most of his title tracks after 2017 are very repetitive and only a few songs actually stand out, this one included. The reason why so many people love old shrek 1 is because their title music used to be versatile eg. Whistle, As if its your last, Playing with Fire, Stay. I believe the producers saw the success of Boombayah and just tunnel visioned on that formula. (Not to say i hate any of bps music in the past 4 years cause i do love a few, however, they should have made some of their bsides title tracks to break up the repetition, Lovesick girls would have been such a good title track imo) I'm enjoying Shut Down a lot though and I'm keen to see what the next era bring!

[@moomoomachines7193]

When I heard they sampled a violin version of LIszt's 'La Campanella' (one of the hardest classical pieces of all time to play), my jaw dropped. This is absolutely a huge middle finger and almost evolution of the group from the simple formula they used to always have commercial success with. Their new experimental sounds with Pink Venom, Shut Down and the entire album are so good and well organized that I feel like they've gotten over the old ways and really exploring new niches in kpop!

[@MrOsvago]

The old sets and props have been "upgraded", the pier Lisa dances at, is no longer on fire, the LED screens are doubled from the Boombaya video and now they're in a bad ass car instead of Vespas, Jennie's tank is even more blinged out, Jisoo's umbrella is no longer on fire and it's raining money, Rose's sitting on a world (Whistle) that's now Black and Pink, Lisa's dump truck no longer has trash , but designed luggage and shoes, Lisa's using her Blackpink sword to slash/break "records"......I"m sure three' more throwbacks' but the message is clear, it's a Blackpink world and we're all just living in it.

Lisa's first scene is also her idea she said to the team she want rain instead of fire🥰

[@lilim7182]

I didn't know it's possible for Lisa to have even more confidence and charisma. Her vocals??? Shookt! Especially on the Happiest Girl and her rap in Typa Girl??? Girl is mad! LISA PROVES SHE'S AN ALL-ROUNDER, AN ACE JUST LIKE WHEN THEY'RE TRAINEES! I'M SO PROUD OF HER

[@rainwriter5275]

This is high key Jisoo’s era fammm. Her voice is AMAZING on this song.

[@mbxo__5936]

Just found out the scene of the dock at night with the lit up rain was Lisa’s idea! They credited the girls as creative directors for this come back. Lisa’s creative vision is immaculate 🤯

[@bouncyshak]

It's like they're at the zenith of their powers. All their iconic moments are now visually black and/or pink; Jenni in black for the match scene, in a black bathtub, with a black match and pink flame, the black/pink earth from Whistle, Lisa's truck scene all black and pink, Jisoo's umbrella now pink with black lines instead of black and it's raining money instead of sparks, Rose's black car from Kill This Love is now a pink Lamborghini and the chandelier is now black, Lisa's samurai sword is now black and pink and she doesn't even have to swing it to be a record-breaker (notice that the colour of the 'record' is black and pink, and it has their signature backwards C, suggesting the only records they need to break are ones set by themselves). They're stronger now so they can shut the door on that past era. They have also put up their black pink tape and posters all over 'Your Area' in the street scene. The only way for them to go is 'Up', which is what they do at the end of the video. They enter the elevator into the fresh white space which will have new iconic moments waiting to be unleashed and 'shut down' next. My favourite song and music video from BlackPink!

[@ruinmei]

shut down is a straight up banger! didn't need to listen to it more than once, it was so good on the first listen! pink venom got replaced by shut down quickly as my favorite blackpink track. and them recreating some of their previous mv scene but making it grander because they're the only one that can outdo themselves is such a strong reference

I think pink venom was literally the ending song of their musical style, that's why there was so much fuss that Pink Venom was the same old thing, they were literally saying goodbye to their musical past to make way for a new era with Shout Down , and that can be seen in the video where literally in that white corridor we see the doors that they closed from their previous MVs, implying a goodbye to their previous musical structure, they literally created a whole drama with pink venom to shut their mouths with Shout Down 🤭 I was pleasantly surprised with his comeback 💕

The whole album is a complete package with every song has clear direction and idea. We get the usual BP formula in Pink Venom, the BP anthem in Shut Down, Black vibe in Typa Girl and Tally, Pink vibe in The Happiest Girl, Yeah Yeah Yeah, Ready for Love, and also rock pop Rose in Hard to Love

[@lovelysister6556]

I was fascinated by the scene where Lisa moves in the rain. with the sound of the violin It made me very immersed. even for a short time

[@Lisbellas]

the camera idea in Jisoo's part... what I understood is, before people were controlling her narrative, waiting for her fall, now she's the one in control, telling her truth and not giving a single f* for what people think. There's this other track on the album Tally that pretty much confirms it 😊

[@gazzakeh26]

Definitely one of the best comeback track they come up with in a while. It shows the original color that Blackpink have, and redefined the girl crush concept. Hard hitting beat that defines "Black" and classical string that defines "Pink" is mixed really well.

This song made me check out the album, otherwise I would've skipped it entirely because I really disliked Pink Venom. I'm glad I did, I felt the entire album outside PV was more accessible to non-BP fans who disliked their general title tracks and style of music. I'll probably go pick up and album when I get the chance to head to a brick & mortar store. While the instrumental hook wasn't as extensive as Feel My Rhythm from Red Velvet, it at least made me stick around instead of leaving, so there's that. This is easily the swaggiest title track from them for me and easily my favorite.

They're shutting it all down and going up to the next level. As we can see, it's another big empty floor with new shutters that will house their new signature sounds in the coming future.

I agree with you PD. Definitely my favorite Blackpink title track and music video! I love how the music video was relatively simple, gave enough room for the girls to take over the frames and enough stillness in some frames without extreme fast cuts that don't allow us to see them clearly. Plus, the choreo shots were also very well incorporated with the girls' individual and group shots - LOVE IT!

[@user-qw4by2sw7u]

i kid u not this was my fav bp cb since D4. THIS was the different yet bp sound i was wanting from them. this had everything i've wanted from them for a while. ALSO i love the simplistic vibe the mv has while being EXTRAVAGANT. like this mv does justice to the song by not overpowering the song itself. THIS MIGHT BECOME ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAV BP SONGS.

[@zhaemy1430]

'some' fans are disappointed because for THEM it's not catchy or like a boom beat but they missed the meaning of the song! I felt goosebumps! This song is said that now they are on top of the world dominating the industry. Here's an example have you seen the globe of Rosé? It's just a globe before in 'whistle' but now Rosé is with BLACKPINK globe! Means world domination 😝🤯

[@yo-dy2sk]

But still, it feels like the majority prefer shut down over pink venom so those "some" are just nitpicking.

[@blackpinkbuzz]

Those some fans just cant be fully satisfied. I stumbled one blink that complained about "blackpink in your area" is being overused😅 omg it was so dumb arguing with them. Its blackpink's catchphrase and they want blackpink to stop saying that in their song??🤨 Thats when i realized those kind of "fans" can never be satisfied no matter what BP release.

[@Theoneandonlybish]

Nah lol everyone liked it Just the haters acting like blinks

[@chrissy9438]

@@yo-dy2sk Or some people just arent feeling the song and thats fine. I prefer Pink Venom and dont see myself adding Shutdown to my playlist.

[@barchieriverdale6940]

Oh that shot on the intro which is truly cinematically badass is Lisa's idea! She confirm from the MV making that she said she wants to do it with water instead of fire, her mind. Creativr director Lalisa has a cb 🤗

[@911maelstrom]

From a corporate standpoint, I wonder if they referenced all of their previous videos here to garner more views (revenue) on those videos as people go to revisit them to look at the comparisons.

[@mariee1m]

I've said this before but this song really fits Jisoo's tone/texture perfectly! She really did her thing on this!!

[@kyxz018]

Im kinda low on pink venom and makes me think i might just have a really high expectation but now i get it was more like a advertisement virus/plague or preparation for this bomb. And that center Jisoo dance break near the end is a icing on the cake.

[@jessiesimon9149]

been waiting for your reaction 😍

[@jeanerasmus7]

I had quite the same reaction when I first heard the kick in the beginning. I even had to pause for a sec before listening back to it.. What a track.

[@allieserencio]

I agree with you PD! This is their best title track! 🔥

[@vasquezjohnernestot.8707]

Bringing their previous MV concepts back is like saying "The only one who can copy them, BLACKPINK is BLACKPINK themselves." People are just merely missing this point. This is a Diss Track. If you're mad then it's for you. Hahahahaha

[@A.babygirl4life]

“If you’re mad, stay mad, we are not alike, SAVAGE, keep it pretty pretty savage” they put their money where their mouth is 😊

[@thunderbolt5647]

YES, we was waiting for this!!!

[@imtranditional2686]

omg the circling shot is referring to "As if it is your last" shot ❤

[@justsomeintrovertedhuman5726]

Now i want to hear those people saying they want something different from BlackPink. But of course if they're a hater they will still have something to complain about it.

[@Typical.Chaeyoung]

I was not expecting this type Of come back from the girls. It’s definitely really different. I love how they incorporated some classical music I really like classical music so that was different in general. This whole music was different. This was not what I was expecting from the girls but I think they handled it very well. The album itself is very beautiful. Well packaged well made it has a lot of emotions to all the songs, but right now my favorite song is still pink venom just because I still found love with it right from the beginning. I love all the other songs by Pink Venom is still my song. But the girls did an excellent job as they always do and I cannot wait until all the albums that I pre-ordered come to me

[@zazamonkey5870]

Yas the mv is my favorite from them. And it's my favorite title track too. I love how the mv sets are less stuffed. With their past sets it was too overwhelming like there was not space to breathe. This was simple yet efficient. And the song is just chef's kisses. No word. The perfect blend between their black and pink side. Full choruses are my favorite so this was a serve. And of course the outro. Their best one. I'm a sucker or instrumental having their moment to shine. This was perfect

[@Scout555]

One of the best reactions of this mv. You understood and explained a lot of the nuances very well.

[@atlanteantapir]

I am loving this comeback. Even though HYLT and Lovesick Girls are some of my favourites from them, this song blew me away, and reignited my love for BP's boundless talent.

[@Cmonmanny]

I love the song , the album. And I just copped tickets. This is going to be my first kpop concert I cannot wait. 😅🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

[@mmimine4881]

I also love this song so much, it's pretty lay back, and just so chill.. It's so simple, screaming "this is YG, this is Teddy, this is Blackpink" reminding me to their debut with Whistle. Love it

[@ammy5697]

Yes, that's amazing song. I love the song, love the violin mix with the beats. It's so beautiful.

[@pimtraipin5442]

My FAVE comeback too! This song sounds the most complete to me since D4. It's clean and polished. First listen and I'm hooked! Also I feel Blackpink spirit as a Group is shining through. I mean they always do but this feels like they are one. Jisoo voice fits soo well on this song, I love all her lines. Jennie's rap n attitude is top notch. Lisa dance in slow mo is just... wow. Rose's whip it×3 is really hitting hard. This comeback really shut me down hahah

[@aaditeyap.srawat8574]

Hands down, "BORN PINK" is the highest quality album I've ever heard.

[@shaniquewright1951]

Love your pure excitement over this song! I love it too ❤

[@dumbass6123]

been waiting on you all day

[@zoe6917]

my first thought when i listened to this song was "oh my god pd is going to ADORE this"

[@chloeSUpainting]

I am so excited to see them perform the new album in concert. I got a VIP ticket for the Paris concert. Every one is going crazy about Blackpink in France today

[@eclairpunyabae7861]

I always love when artist use samples of classical piece to their music it's just familiar but also fresh

[@zbyndagram]

PD on fire today

[@marzipan24]

[@amasavij4095]

Using past references as character build up just like Jisoo on ddd era where she wore pink wig . She had overcome her struggle on the pressure of society and Became much stronger now.

[@Shawnasart76597]

The fact that they sampled Paganini for this song means that it will actually never leave my brain because I get it stuck in my head and then I hear Lisa rapping in the background 😅

[@rae8748]

10:56 oh yess I just realised this circling shot is from AIIYL. I can't believe I forgot about that mv

[@roseoznz]

Everything you said was on point this comeback is so sick I love the song and I’m so excited that they’re all rapping and killing it!

[@cndart]

“SHUT DOWN” SONG OF THE YEAR & “BORN PINK” ALBUM OF THE YEAR! I F’IN ❤️❤️❤️❤️ BLACKPINK & TEDDY ARE THE G.O.A.T.

[@Rdy000]

Our Queens bring back the YG ending like in whistle instead of having a dance break 🥵🧎🫶🏻🔥

[@johii19]

I love that you mentioned that the four of them sing in the chorus! That's one of my favorites parts of this song too. Kinda wish they keep doing that/they did that before.

[@dianeb6137]

That violin sound is from Paganini's La Campanella. Kinda gives a orchestral vibe to it. Reminds me of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody with its "Operatic" vibe. Love it!

[@persephonevids]

they sampled La Campanella!😊
