About the Song
“How You Like That” marks one of BLACKPINK’s most impactful comebacks, serving as the pre-release single for their first full-length album THE ALBUM. Released digitally on June 26, 2020, and later as a photobook single album, the track quickly became a defining moment in the group’s career—both musically and visually.
The song was written by Teddy and Danny Chung, with production led by Teddy, R.Tee, and 24. It blends bold hip-hop energy with dramatic orchestral moments, explosive beat drops, and BLACKPINK’s signature confidence-driven lyrics. From the very first line, the track sends a clear message: even after hitting rock bottom, they rise higher than before. The production shifts between minimal bass-driven verses and a triumphant, chant-like chorus—built to shake stadiums.
The music video, directed by Seo Hyun-seung (who also worked on “Boombayah,” “Playing with Fire,” “As If It’s Your Last,” “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du,” and “Kill This Love”), became a phenomenon the moment it dropped. Released simultaneously on YouTube, Naver TV, and V LIVE, it achieved 100 million views in just 32 hours—setting a then–world record. The visuals highlight BLACKPINK’s dramatic styling, powerful choreography, and larger-than-life sets that feel almost cinematic.
“How You Like That” isn’t just a comeback track—it’s a statement. A declaration of survival, confidence, and resilience that perfectly set the tone for BLACKPINK’s first full studio album era.

boran deusi muneojyeosseo
i crashed down for everyone to see
badageul ttulko jeo jihakkaji
fell straight through the floor down to the depths
ot kkeutjarak japgetdago
i reached for your hem trying to hold on
jeo nopi du soneul ppeodeobwado
even with both hands stretched high
dasi kamkamhan igose light up the sky
but in this darkness again, light up the sky
ne du nuneul bomyeo i’ll kiss you goodbye
looking into your eyes, i’ll kiss you goodbye
silkeot biuseora kkoljoeunikka
go ahead, laugh all you want, enjoy the moment
ije neohui hana dul set
