BLACKPINK’s Lisa is back in the spotlight after dropping her new album, “Alter Ego,” on February 28. While the entire record is making waves, it’s the final song, “Dream,” that some fans totally hooked. The lyrics touch on a possible romance from 2019—maybe in Tokyo—leaving fans to wonder who or what inspired such a nostalgic track. BLINKs and Lillies (that’s the name BLACKPINK and Lisa fans have) can’t help but speculate and reminisce!
In “Dream,” Lisa paints a haunting picture of late-night memories she just can’t forget! With each line, she dives into raw emotions, questioning what happened back then and if there’s ever a chance to go back.
“Whenever I close my eyes / It’s taking me back in time / Been drowning in dreams lately / Like it’s 2019, baby,” she says in the track.
Even though the details remain under wraps, fans have cooked up countless theories about the true story behind her lyrics. Some believe it’s a romantic heartbreak, while others suspect a significant personal journey. Let’s dive into the fan theories:

Written by Ali Tamposi, Feli Ferraro, Shintaro Yasuda, Her0ism, and Lisa herself, “Dream” shows the idol’s most nostalgic and heartbreaking side. However, the real story remains a secret!
