The long wait is finally over. BLACKPINK, the global phenomenon, has made their highly anticipated return to the music scene, dropping their first new single as a group in two years, an explosive track titled “JUMP,” which dropped July 11.
This new single is the first music from the quartet since their 2023 song “The Girls,” which was released for their mobile game, BLACKPINK The Game. The two-year gap left fans eager for a full group comeback, especially after a period where all four members—Jennie, Jisoo, Lisaand Rosé—focused on solo projects. The release of “JUMP” signals a powerful reunion, and the fan response has been immediate and overwhelming.
Social media erupted with celebration the moment the song dropped. “The queens of the world are back,” one fan declared. The excitement of seeing the members reunited was a common theme, with another user sharing, “It feels like it’s been forever since they’ve been solo and off doing their own things, so seeing all my girls together makes me hyped af! It really is ‘ALL GAS NO BREAKS!!!!'”—a direct reference to a lyric in the new song.
For many, the return was an emotional one after such a long absence. “I missed these girls so much. Please don’t leave us for this long again,” one fan pleaded. Another praised the new track, writing, “I absolutely love this new comeback, they came back stronger than ever.”
The hiatus seems to have only solidified their status at the top of the music world. As one fan put it, “Even after 3 years, no one could replace them and finally with this comeback, they actually proved why.”
Many longtime fans also noted a distinct shift in the group’s dynamic, suggesting their time apart pursuing solo endeavors has brought a new, mature energy to their reunion. “Honestly love this new concept for BLACKPINK. It is so different than their past comebacks, but it’s really letting each member shine as one!”
This sentiment was echoed by another listener who commented, “You know how every BLACKPINK comeback, fans usually point out who shined the most each era? But this time feels different, it’s like they all brought their own light, no one outshone the other,” one fan wrote. “Maybe it’s because we’ve grown used to seeing them solo these past few years, so now, seeing them together again, it just hits differently.”
