BLACKPINK’s Lisa has finally unveiled the much-anticipated music video for ‘When I’m With You feat. Tyla’ — the ninth single from her debut studio album ‘Alter Ego’.
Released on May 16 at 10 PM KST (6:30 PM IST), the track ‘When I’m With You feat. Tyla’ features a powerful collaboration between BLACKPINK’s Lisa and South African singer-songwriter Tyla. Blending sultry R&B and pop influences, the track delves deep into the emotional complexity of love, exploring the internal struggle between desire and self-restraint. The lyrics and visuals portray a vulnerable version of oneself and the intensity of love, illustrating how being in someone’s presence can bring out a raw, unfiltered side.
The music video has captivated fans with its dreamy aesthetic, intimate cinematography, and emotionally charged narrative. Lisa’s sultry vocals paired with Tyla’s velvety tone create a hypnotic sonic experience, supported by a production that melds the richness of American R&B with the rhythm of Afrobeats. The video opens with a striking yet subtle detail: Lisa casually inserting BOSE earbuds into her ears. The brief moment serves as an intriguing nod to her new collaboration with the global audio brand.
The video also includes several unexpected celebrity cameos, adding to the buzz. Reality TV favorites Leah and Miguel from ‘Love Island’ appear in a symbolic romantic vignette, while American actor Mason Gooding — known for his roles in ‘Aftermath’, ‘Scream’ film series, and ‘Fall’ — plays a pivotal character in Lisa’s emotional arc. American influencer and model Princess Sab Zada also makes a brief but striking appearance, enhancing the narrative’s dreamy allure.
Fans and critics alike have praised Lisa’s continued evolution as a solo artist. Her rap verse in the track showcases her versatility and bold artistic direction, while Tyla’s influence brings a fresh, cross-cultural flavor to the song.
‘When I’Mm With You feat. Tyla’ is already being hailed as one of Lisa’s most personal and sonically rich tracks to date, a standout moment from ‘Alter Ego’, which continues to top charts worldwide.
With this release, Lisa further cements her status not just as a K-pop idol but as a global artist unafraid to explore emotional depth, sonic experimentation, and powerful visual storytelling.
