About the Song

“See U Later” is the sharp, attitude-driven finale of ’s Square Up album. Following the more vulnerable “Really,” this track flips the emotional script — shifting from doubts about love to the cool certainty of walking away. It’s the moment when the members stop asking for honesty and instead decide the relationship isn’t worth their time. Produced by and Future Bounce, the song leans on a clean hip-hop beat that leaves room for the lyrics to bite. The playful but cutting tone — delivered through crisp rap lines and confident vocals — turns the goodbye into something empowering rather than painful. Instead of heartbreak, the track gives off the energy of someone who has already moved on, tossing out a casual “see you later” that really means “I’m done.” Though not promoted as a title track, “See U Later”became a fan favorite for its clever wordplay, bold attitude, and the way it completes the emotional arc of Square Up. Together with “Really,” it forms a two-part story: first seeking sincerity, then choosing self-respect. With its mix of charisma and clarity, the song stands as one of ’s most memorable non-title tracks — a cool, confident closing statement that leaves no room for regret.

▶ Show Song Meaning (click to expand)

“See U Later” is BLACKPINK’s ultimate breakup dismissal anthem — blunt, sarcastic, sharp, and fully in control. The song portrays the moment someone finally snaps out of a messy, repetitive relationship and realizes they deserve far better.

Rather than sadness, the song channels confidence and clarity. Every line hits like a punch: his apologies sound like “an empty can,” his excuses are noise, and she’s done wasting time on someone who treated her as an option. The members flip the dynamic completely — from being mistreated to reclaiming power with a bold, unapologetic goodbye.

The repeated hook “See u later, maybe never” captures the finality of the decision. There’s no lingering hope, no emotional softness left. Instead, the song celebrates freedom, self-worth, and the thrill of moving on. It’s about remembering your value, cutting off the wrong person without hesitation, and stepping forward like a “boss bish.”
