SEOUL: BLACKPINK’s Rosé has released her new single “New Trick,” an upbeat track about overcoming heartbreak, regaining confidence and moving forward.
Released through The Black Label, the song takes a playful approach to emotional setbacks, shifting from reflections on heartbreak to a more confident message of recovery and self-reinvention.
The lyrics begin with Rosé reflecting on lost love and emotional disappointment before the song moves into its central “new trick” theme. The chorus presents heartbreak as something she can overcome by picking herself up and taking control.
The second verse continues that message by turning moments of sadness and memories into reasons to move forward. The bridge reinforces the theme, portraying a woman who refuses to remain stuck after being hurt and instead finds another way ahead.
“New Trick” was co-produced by Amy Allen, who also worked with Rosé on “APT.,” and Andrew Wells, who previously collaborated with her on “stay a little longer.”
The release also comes with a high-profile Apple collaboration. Its music video was filmed entirely on the iPhone 18 Pro as part of Apple’s “Shot on iPhone” campaign and directed by Dave Meyers, known for working with artists including Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar and Ariana Grande.
The single follows Rosé’s 2024 debut solo album, “rosie,” which featured “APT.,” her collaboration with Bruno Mars. “New Trick” takes a lighter and more upbeat approach to emotional themes, marking a different mood from much of her earlier solo work.
