The “Go” music video is everything — and the Chris Martin songwriting credit is the detail everyone’s talking about
If you weren’t already obsessed with BLACKPINK‘s comeback, the “Go” music video that dropped Friday morning is about to fix that.
Space pods. Glass wings. Ballet barres. Rowing paddles. It’s chaotic in the best possible way, and somehow it all works.
The video is the lead visual from their new five-track EP DEADLINE — their first major release since Born Pink hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 back in 2022. That’s a long wait. And BLACKPINK came back swinging.
The Visuals Are A Lot (In The Best Way)
The 3-minute clip jumps between JISOO, JENNIE, ROSÉ, and LISA posing in shimmering caves wearing high-fashion looks, then suddenly they’re strapped into sleep pods on a spaceship, then they’re holding rowing paddles, then glass wings are sprouting from their backs.
It’s dystopian, it’s glamorous, and it’s completely unhinged — which is exactly the energy a BLACKPINK comeback deserves.
The production comes courtesy of Cirkut and longtime collaborator Teddy, and that glitchy, pulsing beat that kicks in under a minute? It genuinely slaps.
LISA and JENNIE Ate On Those Verses
LISA in a space-age white fit rapping “Go get it, I’mma go get it / Never gonna settle for second, I need a gold medal” feels like a personal attack on everyone who’s been sleeping on her rap skills. Then JENNIE jumps in with “Go reckless, go off, like, What could go wrong?” — and honestly, that might be the lyric of the year so far.
These women have been doing solo runs for a couple of years now, and it shows. They came back sharper.
Wait — Chris Martin Co-Wrote This?
Here’s the detail that made everyone do a double-take: Coldplay’s Chris Martin has a co-writing credit on “Go,” alongside Danny Chung and Henry Russel Walter. The Coldplay-BLACKPINK pipeline is not something anyone predicted, but we’re not complaining.
Even bigger? This is the first time in their 10-year career that all four members — JISOO, JENNIE, ROSÉ, and LISA — share songwriting credits on the same track. That’s not a small thing. That’s a milestone.
The Comeback Is Real
After Born Pink and individual projects that honestly kept them all in the spotlight anyway, DEADLINE feels like BLACKPINK planting a flag. Four of the five tracks are fully in English, which signals pretty clearly who they’re aiming at. Their July teaser “JUMP” (with Diplo) already hit No. 28 on the Hot 100 — so the foundation was there.
“Go” builds on that. It’s bold, it’s cinematic, and it treats the girls like the global superstars they are.
Ten years in, and BLACKPINK is still making music that feels like an event. Not every group can pull that off after a hiatus. These four can.
Drop your take below — is “Go” their best comeback single yet, or does something from the Born Pink era still hold that crown for you?
