You’re releasing an EP not a single album 

Eh, it depends. In K-Pop, 'single album' is a common term. It's a release that consists of 1 - 3 songs and most often also gets released physically. I agree that it's pretty dubious, though. It's especially annoying when they don't specify that it's a single album straight way. Often, they just say that they're releasing an album but only later specify that it's a single album. This happens so often it hurts.

Another gorgeous outfit!

Find it a bit.... odd? they're waiting until midnight EST to roll this out. Thought it would have been at midnight Korean time (so the songs would have been out already).

[rodrigobjs]

Omg I absolutely loved On the Ground  Gone is perfect too. Rosé I love you, queen

[Fall2Pieces]

ok it was amazing 😭

Blackpink said BUDGET.

I love On the ground, it has everything Gone was missing, and I really like Gone, I think they complete each other and show different sides of Rosé.

Anyway, where's the Gone mv? Is it... gone... for real??

I prefer Gone than On the Ground. Maybe I feel more related to this vibe

Usually, songs release at 6 PM in Korea, which is 10 AM in the UK if I'm not mistaken, so I was even more surprised by this scheduling.

Usually, I'd prefer Korean, but Rose sounds better in English.  This is kinda bland, but I'm surprised that I still lowkey dig it.

This 4-year-old song by an almost completely unknown group went HUGELY viral in Korea. A few hours ago it was still #1 on all Korean charts:

I wonder if Rosé can channel her power as a BLACKPINK member and dethrone them. On the Ground debuted at #2 on the most relevant chart, but it's already fallen down to #4. However, it has managed to dethrone them on two less relevant charts. As much as I'm rooting for Rosé, I'm glad, tbh. Brave Girls deserve it. The album this song is from sold only 1k copies when it came out in 2017, and success stories like this one are few and far between. Plus, the song is really good.

The music video is amazing! Every shot is aesthetics I will screenshot so I can put it as my Macbook background. The song, however, is below mediocre. Its very boring to me and simply not it, I expected MUCH more effort from teddy and her in this department. 

Im sure she will do well anyway though. Gonna listen to the album now

[AndyFoster]

I absolutely love it! Her voice is so beautiful.

im gonna be playing the hell out of it for months 

[AndyFoster]

Also the studio version of Gone is so beautiful, oddly, I prefer the live version though.

ive had enough times to replay On The Ground and although I still think it’s amazing, the chorus isn’t IT! It tries to go hard, but not hard enough, there’s something missing in the music. Still the verses and bridges are a SLAY!!

[IUSAtonight]

 The mv is gorgeous. Absolutely amazing

I like the song more than Gone actually, although I wish the chorus had a little more to it. She sounds so good. I wonder how will this song do on the American charts. Since it's all in English and BP is so popular globally, I expect it to do great.
