On Wednesday, Lady Gaga shared the track list for her upcoming sixth studio album, “Chromatica,” revealing the song “Sour Candy” featuring BLACKPINK. After the big reveal, the highly anticipated track quickly became a trending topic online and fandoms from both sides united to hype the collab between Lady Gaga and BLACKPINK — giving birth to #GAGAPINK.
Since its debut in 2016, the South Korean girl group under YG Entertainment composed of Jennie, Lisa, Jisoo, and Rosé, quickly emerged to the top and became one of the most influential K-POP groups in the world. With Lady Gaga being a pop icon who constantly raises the bar in the music industry and BLACKPINK sweeping records with every song they release, the world will surely witness a collaboration like no other!
Can’t think of anyone more iconic in the pop scene than Lady Gaga and no one as iconic as Blackpink in Kpop… and you’re telling me these two are collaborating.. the world isn’t ready 🙊 #GAGAPINK @ygofficialblink

On V Live, Jisoo shared that the song has “an addictive quality to it” and in Jisoo, we trust! We hope that she’ll be able to showcase her superb vocals more in this song though.

BLACKPINK’s official Instagram account reposted Lady Gaga’s track list and Rosé also shared it on her Instagram story!
We can’t wait for this collab to come out and we all know for sure that we’ll describe it the way Lady Gaga would: “talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show-stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.”
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE @ygofficialblink #GAGAPINK https://t.co/phm80vYtok https://t.co/OrqtCrbqW1
