Contents

The physical album debuted at number one on the Circle Album Chart with 1.03 million copies sold in less than two days, becoming the best-selling album by a female soloist in the chart's history and the first ever to surpass one million sales. It was certified million by the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA) in May 2023. The album received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who complimented its sophisticated lyrics and production that highlighted Jisoo's unique vocals.

"Flower" was released as the lead single on the same day the album was released. The song peaked at number two on the Billboard Global 200 and the Circle Digital Chart and became the highest-charting song by a female K-pop soloist on the Canadian Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart.

Background

Following the release of bandmates Jennie's solo single "Solo" (2018), Rosé's solo single album R (2021), and Lisa's solo single album Lalisa (2021), attention turned towards Jisoo as the final member of Blackpink to debut as a soloist. During an interview with Rolling Stone , the singer shared that she felt not sure about pursuing a music career outside of the group and was still figuring out the direction it would go in. [2] On January 2, 2023, YG Entertainment confirmed that Jisoo was in the process of recording music for her single album and had completed filming the album's jacket photo shoots. [3] [4] On February 21, her label revealed that filming for her music video was underway in a top-secret location overseas, with the highest production budget they have ever invested into a Blackpink music video. [5]

Composition

Me is pop and trap record [1] that blends dance, synth-pop, traditional Korean instruments and Caribbean elements. It is an exploration of Jisoo’s romantic affairs and self-development as a person. It highlight her vocal strengths through "easygoing flows and insatiable lyrics" as she narrates a story about a broken-hearted girl who overcomes and leaves a toxic relationship with "untouchable confidence" through the two tracks. [6]

The single album opens with its lead single "Flower", a mid-tempo dance, pop and trap song that incorporates traditional Korean melodies and Caribbean elements. [6] [7] [8] It is characterized by a "distinctive" bass sound, minimal arrangement, poetic lyrics, and "Jisoo's unique vocals." [9] Its lyrics talk about overcoming a toxic relationship, [6] where the protagonist leaves the relationship with "leaving behind nothing but the whiff of flora." [8] In the song the word "Flower" was used as a metaphor to describe the singer's heartbreak, in line with the lyrics, "Nothing is left but the scent of flower." Eventually the "flowers come to their own and bloom" as the protagonists leave the toxic relationship and come to her own self, with the lyrics “Spring comes and we say bye bye bye." [10]

The album's second track “All Eyes on Me” is an upbeat electro-pop, dance-pop and EDM song that incorporates synth-pop elements. [11] Its lyrics are about a woman who knows her worth and what she deserves, with lyrics: “One is not enough, look into my eyes/ I don't want half, just look at me only/ That's a given, it's not so greedy.” [6] [1]

Conception and title

"While preparing for the single, a question mark floated in my head. I wanted to show a new and diverse side of myself while protecting myself. This is a single of 'me' myself, created after countless considerations to look inside and express myself. That's why the title of the single is also "나" which means "me", i participated in the overall part of the single, and I worked with that determination from the beginning to the end. I feel myself growing and becoming stronger as I go through the process of discovering new charms that I didn't even know existed."

—Jisoo's introduction of the album,Newsis [12]

The name of the single album, Me, is a representation of Jisoo's strong aspirations and confidence, capturing her distinct color and original beauty as a solo artist. [13] It also refers to the Chinese character (美), which means beauty. By giving a double meaning to the title, Jisoo sheds light not only on her unique music style but also on the visual aesthetics of her album. In a Q&A with The Korea Times, Jisoo explained that "Through Me, I want to display my unexplored side without ditching my originality. It is an EP about myself. As I worked on it, I discovered my hidden charms and felt like I was growing up. I took part in its overall production, sharing my ideas about music, the concept, and music video, among other things." [14]

Aesthetics

Jisoo used bold red, black-and-white colors with floral accents in her social media posts and clothing during the promotion of Me. [15] On March 15 and 21, the singer released two visual films for the single album. In the first one, Jisoo is seen wearing a "luxe" zebra print outfit while surrounded by "striking" red flowers, accompanied by traditional-sounding instrumentals. [16] The second video features primarily a black-and-white palette. Jisoo appears in a black crop top and a "satin-finished", wide skirt. [17]

Release and promotion

On March 5, teasers were uploaded to Blackpink’s social media accounts, confirming that Jisoo's solo project would be released on March 31, 2023. [15] The same day, the single album was made available for pre-order in two standard versions alongside Kit and purple vinyl versions. Jisoo directly participated in the design to "increase the value of the collection". [18] On March 8, the album's title was announced to be Me in a teaser poster featuring a close-up of Jisoo in floral accessories against a green background. [19] A second teaser poster was released on March 12 depicting Jisoo in a white ruffled dress against a black background. [20] On March 15, Jisoo unveiled the first visual teaser for the album with a red aesthetic. [16] On March 19, the name of the album's lead single was announced to be "Flower". [21] On March 21, Jisoo released the second visual teaser for the album with a black aesthetic. [17] The full tracklist and credits for the album were released on March 27. [22] Me was released worldwide on March 31 through YG and Interscope in conjunction with the music video for "Flower". [23] In celebration of her comeback, the singer held an online live broadcast an hour before the release to talk about the album and music video. [24] On April 7, Jisoo appeared as the first guest on the second season of Lee Young-ji's show No Prepare on YouTube. [25] On April 8, Jisoo featured on Wired's Autocomplete Interview series on YouTube, in which she answered the web's most frequently asked questions. [26]

Rhian Daly writing for NME awarded the album 4 out of 5 stars, describing the album as a showcase of two sides of Jisoo's artistry. In particular, Daly found the lead single "Flower" one of the best K-pop songs of the year and praised it for "managing to mix elegance with inventiveness and elements of modern production with more traditional sounding sonics." On the other hand, she thought the B-side track "All Eyes on Me" was lacking musically in comparison to "Flower", though the lyrics "still pack[ed] an alluring quality at times". [27] Writing for Rolling Stone , Tim Chan praised the "finger-snapping production" and Jisoo's confident vocal delivery on "Flower" and characterized "All Eyes on Me" as a "head-nodding pop track." [28] Samantha H. Chung for The Harvard Crimson labeled "Flower" a "classy, laid-back debut" that was well-suited to Jisoo's "understated charisma", while "All Eyes on Me" was a strong complement that showed "a different side of Jisoo while highlighting her distinctive voice and style."
