About the Song
《See U Later》 delivers a sharp, unapologetic breakup statement from BLACKPINK, flipping heartache into confidence as the song dismisses empty apologies and refuses to linger on regret. Released in 2018 as part of the mini album SQUARE UP, the track moves with punchy hip-hop-driven energy and bold rhythmic shifts that emphasize independence and emotional closure. Written by TEDDY and composed alongside R.Tee and 24, the production blends attitude-heavy beats with a playful edge, turning goodbye into empowerment. Released under YG Entertainment, 《See U Later》 stands out as a fearless expression of self-respect, leaving the past behind without looking back.
