As a group, BLACKPINK is a force to be reckoned with. But individually, bandmates ROSÉ, JENNIE, JISOO and LISA are powerful singers, songwriters and performers in their own right, something they’ve each proven at different points by nurturing their solo careers in addition to fulfilling their girl group duties.
It may come as a surprise to listeners who were only introduced to the girls when BLACKPINK debuted in 2016, but some of them actually started working on music before they rose to K-pop infamy with the band. JENNIE collaborated on a number of songs with artists who, at the time, were more established than she was in 2013, while ROSÉ lent her voice to a G-Dragon track long before she was selected by YG Entertainment for a spot in what is now regarded as South Korea’s most successful girl group to date.
In the years since they debuted as BLACKPINK with Square One singles “Whistle” and “Boombayah,” however, all four members have officially dipped their toes into solo artistry. LISA dropped her first set of one-woman tracks in 2021, while JISOO finally joined in on the fun with a pair of releases in 2023.
From guesting on other musicians’ albums to releasing songs that are entirely their own, the girls of BLACKPINK have demonstrated that they’re just as skilled as individual artists as they are parts of a quartet. Keep reading to see a full list of their solo projects and songs — not including covers, solo tracks released through BLACKPINK or features on other artists’ songs — below.

“I remember last year as our year long tour ended, I found myself in a session out here in los angeles,” she wrote. “That led on to a year of walking in and out of the studio, writing songs with songwriters and producers I’d met for the first time, trying to figure out the next chapter in my career. I fell asleep many nights feeling confused and lost … I have poured my blood and tears into this album.”
