Fallen Angel is the upcoming first extended play by South Korean singer and rapper Jennie. It is scheduled to be released on August 28, 2026 by Odd Atelier and Columbia Records.
In the summer of 2026, Jennie played several festival shows, beginning with the Governors Ball Music Festival on June 7, where she performed several unreleased songs.[1] On July 20, Jennie announced that she would be releasing a new single "Less Than a Lover" on July 24.[2] On August 19, Jennie's agency Odd Atelier revealed to South Korean media that Jennie would release a new extended play at the end of August.[3] The following day, the singer posted several photos on her Instagram with the caption, "one day it'll all make sense." The photos showed Jennie posing in a red mini dress in front of a winged statue, creating the impression of wings on her back.[4]
Jennie announced on August 20 that she would release the digital EP Fallen Angel on August 28, 2026, and revealed the tracklist, consisting of three of the songs from her festival performances.[5] The announcement was accompanied by the EP's cover art, showing Jennie in a white dress against a flower field background with the title Fallen Angel arranged like a crown on her head.[6] She also shared a teaser video of the music video for the title track the same day.[7] On August 24, Odd Atelier announced that Jennie would issue a physical edition of the EP at a later date with three additional tracks.[8]
The EP "comes from a very personal place with the truest self-expression," according to Odd Atelier, who also described it as a "gift from Jennie, with love."[9] The third track, "Less Than a Lover", is an alternative popballad featuring restrained vocals over a lo-fi guitar and vintage electric keyboards.[10] Lyrically, the song explores the dynamics of a casual, seasonal romance that falls between friendship and a committed relationship.[11]
