BLACKPINK member Lisa (리사) is turning up the heat (quite literally) with the release of her latest music video for the single “WHEN I’M WITH YOU”, featuring South African singer-songwriter Tyla. Rumours of a collaboration began swirling after the pair were spotted together in the studio, and fans finally got to hear the long-anticipated track following the release of the idol’s “Alter Ego” album earlier this year.
The music video premiered last Friday (16th May) and has already surpassed 5 million views on YouTube. To celebrate this impressive milestone, let’s take a closer look at the song and the visuals that brought it to life.
1. The MV featured the Bose × Lisa Ultra Open Earbuds collab
In case you missed it, Lisa has partnered with tech brand Bose for a limited-edition release of the Ultra Open Earbuds collection. The product makes an appearance at the start of the music video, where the idol is seen putting them on just as the song begins to play.
2. It is Lisa’s 3rd single with a featured artist
Following the release of her debut single “ROCKSTAR” from the “Alter Ego” album, Lisa has dropped five additional singles, two of which are collaborations. She previously teamed up with Rosalía on “New Woman” and with Doja Cat and RAYE on “BORN AGAIN”. Her latest track, “WHEN I’M WITH YOU” featuring Tyla, marks her third collaborative single to date.
3. It was filmed at the iconic Paramour Estate
If you think the filming location looked familiar, it’s because it is. Paramour Estate, also known as the Canfield-Moreno Estate, is a historic residence situated in the Moreno Highlands neighbourhood of Silver Lake, Los Angeles, California. The location rose to prominence once again after the legendary Britney Spears filmed the music video for her 2004 hit “My Prerogative” — a cover of Bobby Brown’s original track.
4. The MV had several star cameos
Lisa and Tyla’s new music video features a handful of special appearances. In addition to actor Mason Gooding, spotted shirtless next to the BLACKPINK member, “Love Island USA” couple Leah Kateb and Miguel Harichi also make a cameo, seen leaving the villa for a romantic poolside date night.
5. It was directed by Olivia De Camps
If you’re unfamiliar with Olivia De Camps, then you might be familiar with her work. She’s the mastermind behind multiple music videos and short films, including Rebecca Black’s “Trust” and “Salvation”, Marina’s “CUNTISSIMO”, and our very own Yuna’s “I’ll Show You”.
