Lisa solo music release and promotion

Overview

Lisa, a member of BLACKPINK, began promoting her upcoming solo EP, ‘Press Play’, with the release of concept teasers for her lead single, ‘SaWaDiKa’. The promotional visuals, released via LLOUD Co. and RCA Records, utilized Thai cultural motifs such as Muay Thai gear and tuk-tuks. These teasers also prompted online discussion regarding the artist’s physical appearance and rumors of rhinoplasty.

On September 4, 2026, the single ‘SaWaDiKa’ was officially released. The track features a blend of English lyrics and Thai terminology, including imagery of Bangkok and the baht, reflecting Lisa’s intention to maintain her Thai cultural identity. Regarding the production, Lisa expressed gratitude to her teams in Thailand, South Korea, and Los Angeles, noting that it took a ‘whole village’ to bring the project to life.

This release serves as a precursor to the full EP scheduled for release on October 23, and precedes Lisa’s ‘VIVA LA LISA’ concert residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas this November. The single follows her 2025 studio album, ‘Alter Ego’.
