The highly anticipated musical collaboration between Rosalía and Lisa from the K-pop group Blackpink is finally happening. Fans can look forward to their song ‘New Woman,’ set to be released on August 15. But how did this collaboration come about?

To understand, we need to go back to 2019. Lisa, who has been a member of Blackpink since 2016, posted a YouTube video dancing to ‘La Motomami’s’ first big hit, ‘MALAMENTE.’ Lisa, known for her singing and dancing skills, often impressed fans with choreographies to popular songs, setting the stage for this exciting collaboration.

Regarding that video of Lisa dancing to Rosalía’s song, it’s notable that Rosalía commented on the Instagram post as soon as she saw it, sparking the story we know today. Both artists have followed each other’s work closely, but it wasn’t until 2021 that they began following each other on social media.

This marked the start of a beautiful friendship and mutual admiration. Rosalía and Lisa have publicly expressed their love for each other’s music numerous times. They made it clear they were fans and expressed a strong desire to collaborate someday. These declarations led fans to push for this collaboration to happen.

Adding to this are the public appearances of Lisa and Rosalía sharing moments together. In April of last year, they posted their first photos together, showing a beautiful friendship that transcended borders and was far from any casual event. This was a well-planned meeting between friends.

This marked a turning point where thousands saw their collaboration as entirely possible. After more than a year, it has finally happened, proving that good things are worth the wait. This marks Rosalía’s return after some time away from the spotlight, thanks to her collaboration with one of the most famous and influential K-pop artists of the moment.
