About the Song
“Lalisa” is the debut solo single from Thai rapper and singer
Lisa,
released on September 10, 2021 through YG Entertainment and Interscope Records as the lead track of her self-titled single album.
Created by Teddy with Bekuh Boom and 24, the song leans heavily into hip-hop while weaving in bold references to
Lisa’s Thai heritage, giving the track a distinct identity rooted in confidence and cultural flair.
The single achieved major global success, debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200 — the highest chart entry at the time for
Lisa as a soloist. In the U.S., it topped the Billboard World Digital Songs chart and entered the Hot 100 at No. 84.
It also hit No. 1 in Malaysia and reached the top ten in regions including Hungary, India, and Singapore, ultimately charting across 18 countries.
While some critics questioned the song’s lyrics and structure, most praised
Lisa’s charisma, stage presence, and performance quality.
The accompanying music video, directed by Seo Hyun-seung, premiered the same day and immediately shattered records.
With 73.6 million views in 24 hours, it became the most-viewed music video by a solo artist in a single day on YouTube and earned two Guinness World Records.
Lisa promoted “Lalisa” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Inkigayo, and Show! Music Core.
The track later won Best K-Pop at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, making
Lisa the first K-pop soloist ever to receive an MTV VMA.
