Background and development

edit

The collaboration of Lisa and Rosalía was described as long-coming, with the two artists having expressed their admiration for one another previously. In an interview with Radio Disney México in March 2022, Rosalía described herself as a fan: "I love Lisa. I'm a fan of hers. To me, I love her. She dances well and she is so talented." Similarly, in May 2022, Lisa praised her to Rolling Stone, saying that "Rosalía is so cool. She has her own Spanish culture, that's inside her person, that influences her music."[1]

In December 2023, Lisa declined to renew her contract with her label YG Entertainment for individual activities.[2] She proceeded to establish her own artist management company called Lloud in February 2024.[3] In April, she signed with RCA Records to release solo music in partnership with Lloud.[4] She released "Rockstar" on June 28, her first single under Lloud and RCA Records since her departure from YG Entertainment.[5] "New Woman" serves as Lisa's second single in 2024 after "Rockstar", and Rosalía's first single of the year following her collaborations with Rauw Alejandro on the EP RR and Björk on the single "Oral", both released in 2023.[1]

Composition

edit

Lisa, Rosalía Vila Tobella, Tove Burman, Tove Lo, Ilya, and Max Martin wrote "New Woman", and the latter two produced the track. Tove Lo is also credited as a background vocalist.[6] "New Woman" is a "Y2K-inspired" pop and electronic song with trap sonorities[7] that runs for 3 minutes.[8][9][10] It starts with Lisa singing about "walking through fire to rediscover shes is a 'New Woman' with a 'revved up aura'".[11] The singer also "talks of blooming like a flower, walking through the fire, taking her time and rediscovering herself".[12] After the first chorus, the rhythm of "New Woman" "slows down" and is followed by Rosalía's Spanish verse with "whispered" lyrics.[11]

Robin Murray of Clash described the track as a "a real statement of feminine pop energy".[6] Stereogum's Danielle Chelosky called it a "summery banger" that features "a killer beat change".[13] Janice Sim from Singapore Vogue described it as a "sinuous, groovy track" that features "Lisa's unravelling of a new self".[12]

Release and promotion

edit

On August 2, Lisa began teasing a follow-up release to "Rockstar" by sharing a snippet on social media, which featured her in pink hair showing off a star-shaped pendant around her neck. Three days later, Lloud posted a second teaser with the same audio showing a titled silver star in front of a pink cloudy sky with the words "coming soon" scrolling across it, followed by a rotating silvery rose, and finally the text "LALISA ______." The blank space as well as the rose led fans to speculate that the song would be a collaboration with Spanish singer Rosalía.[14] The two artists officially announced the single on August 6, revealing its title "New Woman" and its release date of August 15 at 8 p.m. ET, or August 16 at 7 a.m. ICT. The announcement was accompanied by the single's cover art, which depicts Lisa and Rosalía staring sensually at the camera in their sunglasses, the former in a leather corset and jacket and the latter in a furry pink coat.[15] The day of the song's release, Lisa appeared as the first guest on the third season of Lee Young-ji's talk show Not Much Prepared on YouTube.[16]

Commercial performance

edit

"New Woman" peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Global 200 dated August 31, 2024.[17] On the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., it debuted at number six with 54.5 million streams and 10,000 sold outside the U.S. between August 16 to 22. The song marked Lisa's fourth and Rosalía's fifth top-ten hit on the chart respectively. Lisa also became the Blackpink member with the most top-tens, followed by Jennie with three and Rosé and Jisoo with one each, and matched the four top-tens that Blackpink achieved as a group.[18] In the United States, the song debuted at number 97 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Lisa's fourth entry on the chart as a soloist. She became the first female K-pop soloist in history to have four songs enter the chart, and tied J-Hope, Suga, and V as the K-pop artists with the seventh-most chart entries, only behind BTS, her group Blackpink, Jungkook, Jimin, Psy and NewJeans.[19]

Music video

edit

An accompanying music video for "New Woman" was uploaded to Lloud's YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's release. The video was directed by Dave Meyers and filmed in Los Angeles.[13]
