"Jump" (Korean뛰어; RRTtwieo) is a song recorded by South Korean girl group Blackpink. It was released through YG Entertainment on July 11, 2025.

Background and release

On February 19, 2025, Blackpink announced dates for a world tour starting in July,[1] which was later revealed to be titled the Deadline World Tour.[2] YG Entertainment confirmed on June 9 the group was filming a new music video since the 6th in Seoul with a "famous overseas director."[3] On June 23, the label announced that Blackpink will debut their comeback single at the tour's first show on July 5.[4] The group launched an interactive website on July 1 featuring a map of Seoul; two locations were marked on the map by an all-caps sign reading "Do Not Jump" with the “Not” crossed out in pink spray paint.[5] On July 4, Blackpink released a teaser video captioned "Ready to Jump?" previewing their new song.[6]

During the opening night of the Deadline World Tour at Goyang Stadium on July 5, Blackpink unveiled the song "Jump" and performed the track on stage.[7] At the concert, Jennie revealed the song will be released on streaming platforms later in the week.[8] On July 7, Blackpink released a music video teaser confirming the song's release date four days later.[9] "Jump" was released digitally on July 11 through YG Entertainment in a new distribution partnership with the Orchard, instead of the group's previous distributor Interscope Records.[10] It marked the group's first release in two years and 10 months since their second studio album Born Pink (2022), aside from the video game soundtrack "The Girls" in 2023.[11]

Lyrics and composition

"Jump" was written by Teddy, Diplo, 24, Zikai, Claudia Valentina, Jumpa, Malachiii, and Jesse Bluu and produced by Diplo, 24, Boaz van de Beatz, Zecca, and Ape Drums.[12] It is a fast-paced, energetic hardstyle[12] and dance-pop[13] anthem that blends elements of club music, synth-pop, European techno and EDM, a bold departure from the group's usual pop-focused sound.[14] According to a press release from YG Entertainment, the song begins with a "striking guitar riff that evokes the feel of a Western film, setting a vivid, cinematic tone."[15] The track has been described as a marked transformation from the group's previous musical style and features an "addictive chorus."[16] Lyrically, "Jump" centers around the power of a night out with the girls; it begins with Rosé and Jisoo explaining to a presumed former lover about the wild feeling that takes them over at times. In the chorus, Jennie and Lisa urge everyone to run up on the dance floor and jump. The second verse discusses how sisterhood leads to liberation for the girls, before the chorus repeats the theme of women dancing and jumping their feelings out.[17]

Music video

A music video teaser for "Jump" was released on July 7, 2025, ahead of the official music video release on July 11. The teaser begins by panning around a cityscape with billboards for each of the group's members. The camera zooms in on a brick wall featuring a mural of Blackpink and the group standing in front of the mural in black outfits.[18] The music video was directed by Dave Meyers.[19] YG Entertainment described the music video as portraying Blackpink's influence and narrative as a group, emphasizing the group's "perfect synergy," as they reunited after two years and 10 months.[20]

Live performances

"Jump" was included on the set list of Blackpink's Deadline World Tour, starting on July 5.[21]
