About the Song

《How You Like That》 is a defiant comeback anthem by BLACKPINK that transforms downfall into spectacle and confidence into retaliation. Released in 2020 as the lead single from the album How You Like That, the song opens in stark vulnerability before erupting into an explosive chorus built on trap-driven beats, dramatic drops, and chant-like hooks. Written by TEDDY and Danny Chung, and composed with R.Tee and 24, the track frames resilience as power, turning criticism and failure into fuel for reinvention. Released under YG Entertainment, 《How You Like That》 stands as a statement of survival and dominance, reintroducing BLACKPINK not as victims of circumstance, but as artists who rise higher precisely because they fell.

Like everything crumbled in an instant, I fell to the ground, deep into the darkness. Even if I try to reach out with all my might, it feels impossible to grasp anything.

In this dark place, I light up the sky. As I look into your eyes, I’ll kiss you goodbye. Laugh all you want, it’s your turn to be surprised. Now, let’s count to three.

I need everything, and that’s a hundred percent. Out of a hundred, I want my voice to be heard. Karma’s coming for you, but there’s nothing you can do about it.
