    The song is about them trying to cope with the pain of a breakup/fight. The harder one tries to put on a happy face is an indication how much pain that person is going through. The bigger the façade, the more difficult the struggle.

    Great assessment. Here, here! ...on the creative control, too.
    This song touched me. Not because of the lyrics so much (but yeah, been there), but how their voices sold it and made me feel the pain the emotion....enough to cry a few times.

    I really really like your takes on artistic choices in their music, I think a lot of it is true and I think also it’s what makes BlackPink so interesting to the audience, because we all want to know if they can do what they do, how much of them into their music. Sadly even if I really like this song too, on Apple Music you can check the credits of the songs and on this one not a single one of the four of them is credit in any other places than interpreters or singers (sorry for my English I am not an English speaker…), so it’s difficult to think that there is anything from them into the process of creation of this one. But I like it anyway.
    Yesterday was the 27th Birthday of Lisa, and we are now 7 years after their debut as BlackPink, meaning their famous idole/group/k-pop contract finally got to it’s term, rumors of disband where bigger than ever lasts months, but we got a response by YG.E saying that they renewed their contract, (second) but it’s only for their group activities and this is a very important point, it means they will be so much more free than since their debut, it’s only fair since they are like the biggest girls band in activity. So I am really curious about what’s coming next, I want to see more of what they can do as artists. By the way Rosé is a really talented musician, Lisa is a great dancer so it’s different, here you speak more about music so I think like me you can appreciate Rosé.
    I hope you will do more videos about them when they will release new tracks, or react to what they already did, cause actually even if their discography is pretty poor, there is for some of them on TH-cam many music content not only related to BlackPink. Bye, and greetings from France (actually I live in Greece, but I’m French) 😊

    I do agree with all ur saying
    They sound more like they're crying for help. The fact that the repeating part on this song gives it power to that statement.

    Loved your reaction. Very insightful for a first listen.
    I did a lyrical analysis, and found that besides the repeated verses, if you take the verses in sequence, it is a reply to the other side's conversation during a breakup. Specifically, there is a strong inference that the other side cheated and is begging to get back together. (Lyrical Analysis will skip some repeated verses)
    1: (Jennie) Don't hold my hand, don't beg me back, Don't say that we'll make it through this, Yeah, if I'm so beautiful, then why?
    - This a response to the other sides actions and begging for forgiveness. The cheating is implied with a "I was wrong, YOU are the most beautiful girl to me", and Jennie replies with the " Yeah, if I'm so beautiful, then why?"
    2: (Rosé) The doors we slammed, the plates we smashed, Echo with the sound of madness, I can't remember why we try
    - The last phrase " I can't remember why we try " implies that she is done trying... "lets break up" implied stated by her
    3: (Jisoo) My heart only wants you, The moment you say 'no'
    - This is the most misinterpreted lyric. Because in context, the other is not saying 'no' to her, the other is saying 'no, please I do not want breakup',
    This is important and the verse Must be taken in context with the first two verses and the later verses. Taking the meaning of the other rejecting the girl is totally out of context with all of the other verses. VERY IMPORTANT!
    4: (Lisa) But tonight, I'll be the happiest girl in the world, You'll see like it doesn't matter. Tonight, I'll be the happiest girl in the world ,You'll see like it never happened
    - Again, take all verses in context with the other verses. "It never happened" is talking about the cheating event.
    - The being happy in the face of abject pain is the beginning of several coping mechanisms which while not healthy, is common in practice. We know it is not a real fix, but we have no way of dealing with it yet, so we will do these things first.
    5: (Jisoo) I can stop the tears if I want to (x3)
    - Here begins the second of several coping mechanisms of self talk going on in the mind of the girls. I am crying, but I can stop if I want to.
    - However the implication is I cannot stop the tears yet... but later on I will put on the face of being happy.
    6: (Rosé) Don't make us saints, we're wards of pain, The past and a perfect picture, There's no one else to blame this time
    - The implication of being "wards of pain" is that this is not the first time it the pain has come. A ward is someone placed in to the care of someone, being a ward is never a voluntary thing (ie ward of the state). In other English context, a ward also implies a warden (which implies imprisonment).
    - "Dont make us saints" and "The past and the perfect picture" - it is all gone, forget the illusion that the relationship is perfect, it is done.
    - "There's no one else to blame this time" along with the "us" and "we're" earlier in the phrase means acknowledgement that while the other cheated this time, both sides played a part getting to the point of breakup.
    7: (Lisa) Don't change the truth, we can't undo. The high we chase, steal the crash, no. You're not the one who gets to cry
    - There is no undoing this betrayal. In the past we chase the highs of the relationship, but the crash... no not worth it.
    - "You're not the one who gets to cry" - you are the one that cheated, you do no get to cry and beg to get back together. Crying is my right not yours.
    8: (Lisa) All it takes is a smooth pop of a bottle top, To fix a heart, a broken heart, baby
    - The third of several coping mechanisms of self talk going on in the mind of the girls.
    - Again while not healthy. We know it is not a real fix, but we have no way of dealing with it yet, so we will do these things.
    9: (Jisoo) All it takes is a little rolling paper, take us, To the start, go back to the start
    - The fourth of several coping mechanisms of self talk going on in the mind of the girls.
    - Again while not healthy. We know it is not a real fix, but we have no way of dealing with it yet, so we will do these things for now and put on the face of happiness.
    10: (Rose/Jisoo/Jennie) repeat of choruses
    But tonight, I'll be the happiest girl in the world. You'll see like it never happened .... I can stop the tears if I want to... But tonight, I'll be the happiest girl in the world. You'll see like it never happened .
    - While this is a repeat of prior verses, it is done with a crescendo and shift up in pitch, evoking a feeling of greater determination and emotion.
    - Jennie puts "happiest" and "like it never happened" in a higher register than was ever sang in this song. Implying "I am going to do this"

    I agree with you this is a sad, tragic, song, nothing about girl powerment. It is a sad reality lots of people could relate to: the necessity to put up a happy face while suffering inside, to slug on through life. Love it b/c it allows the girls to share their vocal talents with the world.

      not if you value creativity like Jim does. the creative side and what the singer is trying to convey and the musical structure of the song. so if you are only in it for the music itself and not the people behind it or the lyrics than yes it´s a bob. but people have different criteria to what makes a good song. i always valued lyrics and creative freedom the most. of course i can listen to the radio and find a song good without knowing who it is but if i were to love a band or artist it has to be deeper than that. you actually get to know an artist through their music so it´s a shame kpop don't provide that. except for BTS

I understand that you want to praise your artist, but music is diverse.If BTS does that, they don't have to be under the company.

      @@lealarsen2017 Just like "If you" and Eyes, Nose,Lips", which i personally think are 2 of the best kpop slow songs ever written (lyrically and melody-wise), I didn't bother to look it up who's composed these songs when they dropped. Not until recently and I learn that Bigbang (GD and Taeyang) wrote those songs themselves. So for you to say that BTS is the only group composing their own songs, I am sorry but I should say that thats not true. I respect your opinion though. And I have mad respect for your boys.

    I think great song writing often leaves some ambiguity to its true meaning so the listener can relate in their own way. I interpreted this song lyrics as the last night together before a break-up and I've seen at least 3 other interpretations including yours all equally valid.
    I'm not sure if you've reacted to Rosé's EP R yet but she has writing credits on both tracks and was creative director involved with MV consepts, wardrobe and even the album artwork and marketing. There are a lot of Easter eggs in the On the ground MV put there by Rosé one of which would only be recognised by some of her Australian fans.
    Jisoo and Jennie have writers credits on the single Love sick girls and Jisoo shares writing credits with Rosé for Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Lisa has a writing credit on DJ Snakes song SG.
    They have some unreleased tracks that were recorded in the USA this year that could possibly make it onto their third album rumoured to be released after their World tour late next year, they have writers credits on those songs according to Ryan Tedder.
    I think shutdown MV may have alluded to a change in direction for Blackpink as the girls were named as creative directors for the Born Pink alarm.

    i never liked blackpink songs but this one here is soo pretty idk why. the pain is real and you can clearly hear each voices. and also if you dont like kpop this does sounds more western. not because they sing English but the structure og the song. i always felt that their voices got lost in the music somehow. it´s the same for all kpop groups but maybe it´s because i need to check out more of their b sides. because this is a gem.
    i also think that the fact that they are only a 4 member group you get to experience each members voice better. it´s actually a strength to only have 4 members at least when it comes to the American market. and girl groups dont have the same negativity label on them as boybands do. so men are more easy to accept them. i think BP is well put together and it always felt like they were designed to hit the American market.
    for outsiders i often hear people say. oh kpop is so messy. so many groups with so many memebers how can you know them and love them. i had the same thought before i discovered BTS and that took a long time so the thought of learning a new groups memebers feels so tiering. however for BP it was never an issue for me to tell them apart even if i am not a fan so it´s a strength for sure

    People love to bash YG. I get why but at the same time, YG made BlackPink into what they are today with the reach they got today. The girls are becoming super powers in the industry and they will get more and more creative control. It's a process. YG is starting a fresh girl group next year and if BlackPink hadn't reached this level of fame they would have been out next year but as is now, YG have no reason not to keep them and no reason not to let them do more stuff and have more creative control. If you like BlackPink, you have to tip your hat to YG.

    You're correct, the girls are in a bad place. "My heart only wants you the moment you say "no"" is a direct statement, they're almost looking for a reason to torture themselves. It IS a cry for help, an admission that they're stuck and don't have the strength to pull themselves away. Heartbreaking and performed beautifully.
    As far as creative control they have said in recent interviews that they do, in fact, contribute to their songs as well as their videos. Regarding your complaint that they can't release songs that they wrote, what makes you think that they are songwriters? Have they made statements regarding the fact that they have written songs and the company is holding them back, or are you just reading comments that say that? Because they're pretty? Or have good voices? They were all signed as trainees to create a possible K-Pop girl group, that doesn't automatically make them hitmaking, or even good, songwriters. And if you check their last two albums the members have writing credits, as well as Rosé cowriting both tracks on her solo album. Many BLACKPINK fans are very young and always post "anti-YG" statements because they're obsessed with their favorite member and have created an alternate reality where their company is "out to get them". Don't fall for it, it's middle schoolers being middle schoolers. Your "leash" statement sounds like you've been listening to them.
    By the way, before the song began you called it "The Happiest Girl In The World" ( 0:03 ). the song is called "The Happiest Girl", the "In The World" phrase comes from the chorus, how did you already know it before the song began?

      I think you may have your Teddies confused this song was written by Teddy (born name Natalia) and Will Sinclair a married couple and Paro. Teddy Park from The Blaçklabel isn't even credited as a producer let alone writer of this track.
      One of the reasons why some songs on this album. sound a bit different from their other releases is Teddy has been a little less involved in its production.
