“When the store says ‘Sign for it’, I’mma leave my autograph.”Įven songs with topics that have been done over and over again can still slap though – look at Cardi B’s ‘Money’ which, judging by the very similar heavy piano stabs, seems to have been a reference point here. “Bitch I do the money dance, I just made a hundred bands,” Lisa boasts on the refrain. The song’s subject matter is tired and played out – yet another track about being rich and flexing that cash. If the title track is disappointing, then the B-side ‘Money’ is even more so. ![]() If she wasn’t in one of the biggest girl groups in the world, this track wouldn’t even register in people’s attention spans. ![]() There’s no heart or soul to them, focused more on empty brags that don’t even have the desired effect of making the star seem like an untouchable icon whose name everyone should (and, at this point in her career, does) know. “I said I can’t hear you, so you need to speak up.” It’s lyrics like these that make it hard to take ‘Lalisa’ too seriously. “Baby, get the megaphone, put it on speaker,” Lisa raps at one point. If this was a BLACKPINK song, it might just about work – the dynamic of having four different voices and personalities could possibly save it – but with only one person to steer it, it falls regrettably flat. The title track is an awkward song, lurching through its lines that find Lisa switching between dull singing and rapped bars that, rather than encapsulating the idol’s natural cool, feel like they belong in a different track altogether. It’s hard to find the positives in ‘Lalisa’.

The second half of that line almost feels like a challenge from the BLACKPINK rapper and dancer in the context of this release. “I’m incomparable, you gon’ still love me,” Lisa raps midway through ‘Lalisa’, the title track of her solo debut single album.
