BLACKPINK have announced a brand-new mini album, ‘Deadline’. Check out the preview video below.
The project will mark the K-pop group’s third EP, following 2018’s ‘Square Up’ and 2019’s ‘Kill This Love’. Their third and most recent full-length album, ‘Born Pink’, arrived in 2022.
‘Deadline’ is set for release on Friday February 27 via YG Entertainment.
The collection shares its name with BLACKPINK’s ongoing stadium world tour, which is due to conclude later this month in Hong Kong.
According to Consequence, ‘Deadline’ will feature the band’s latest single ‘Jump’. The “intense, addictive” song was released last July – marking BLACKPINK’s first new material in three years.
The group have teased the upcoming mini album by sharing a dramatic promo clip online – tune in here:
‘Jump’ landed at Number 11 on NME‘s 25 best K-pop songs of 2025 list. “There’s a visceral sense of movement as the track progresses towards the entrancing outro, as the girl group crank up the bass to earth-shattering levels to keep you on the dancefloor,” the entry read.
All four members of BLACKPINK have been busy with other projects recently.
In 2024, Rosé teamed up with Bruno Mars’ for the hit song ‘APT.’.
