Blackpink’s ‘GO’ Lyrics Contain an Uplifting Pep Talk for Fans

Wait 5 sec.

Weeks after wrapping their Deadline World Tour, Blackpink dropped their highly anticipated mini album Deadline—and their action-packed, mesmerizing video for “GO.”Lyrically, the song features the swagger that Lisa, Jisoo, Jennie, and Rosé are known for in their Blackpink discography. The song is mostly a confidence anthem, with Lisa teasing “here to the rescue, I’m number one,” in the first verse and telling the world that the K-pop quartet is ready to dominate music again with her “Never gonna settle for second, I need a gold medal” lyric in the second verse.But in the bridge, the girls turn the focus to their fans, delivering a pep talk to encourage anyone feeling down to keep going. “When your heart is broken, baby / Darkness on the edge of town / (BLACKPINK’ll make ya) / Try to keep it open, baby,” Jennie starts the verse.Ahead of the album release, Rosé spoke to Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy about the Blackpink version of herself being a pop star persona. Rosé is a stage name—one her entertainment company chose for her when she debuted with Blackpink. The singer actually goes by Rosie in her personal life.“My whole career started as Blackpink, and I feel like it was so much fun creating this character onstage because I’m just from Australia in my bedroom,” she said. For her own solo album Rosie, “it was my discovery of who am I [when I’m not this character]?”“Rosé has been such a big part of my life,” she continued. “And that’s what we present ourselves as, Blackpink, Blackpink Rosé. And I felt like this [the side of myself I presented on my solo album] was very opposite.”On “GO,” Lisa, Jennie, Rosé, and Jisoo all return to the pop star versions of themselves again—to thrilling results.
