BLACKPINK have officially returned with their highly anticipated mini-album, Deadline, sending fans into a frenzy across the globe.

The five-track collection, led by the July-released single JUMP, also includes GO, Me and My, Champion and the cheekily titled Fxxxboy.

The K-pop superstars, Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa and Rosé are praised by YG Entertainment for their hard work.

They also revealed hat the members poured “significant time and effort” into perfecting the album despite their grueling world tour schedule.

“It’s a body of work that captures both their individual musical talents and their unrivalled teamwork,” the label added.

For those unfamiliar, the popstars wrapped their world tour of the same name on January 26, 2026, at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium.

They wasted no time sharing new music with their devoted Blinks.

Fans had been eagerly anticipating BLACKPINK’s reunion after the quartet spent the past few years focusing on solo projects.

Rosé’s solo album Rosie earned global acclaim with the Grammy-nominated Bruno Mars collaboration APT.

While Lisa stunned fans with her full-length record Alter Ego and acting debut in HBO’s The White Lotus, filmed in Thailand.

Jennie impressed with her debut solo effort Ruby, and Jisoo explored her artistic side with the EP Amortage.

Speaking to Variety, Lisa revealed just how excited the group is to be back in the studio together.

“We’re all so super excited to get back together and go on tour. We really miss the Blinks. We can’t wait to see them,” she said, giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come.
