About the Song

《Pretty Savage (Japan Version)》 sharpens BLACKPINK’s fearless persona into a colder, more cutting statement, delivering unapologetic confidence with precision and attitude. Released as part of the Japanese project Pretty Savage (Japan Version), the track amplifies its original intensity with a sleek, international edge, turning swagger into a deliberate form of power. Built by Bekuh BOOM, R.Tee, TEDDY, and 24, with lyrics by Danny Chung, the production balances minimalism and aggression, letting every beat hit with intention. Backed by YG Entertainment, 《Pretty Savage (Japan Version)》 stands as a bold declaration of dominance, transforming self-assurance into a controlled, global statement that leaves no room for doubt.
