BLACKPINK releases “GO” and makes a strong comeback
BLACKPINK has officially made their comeback with the release of “GO,” the main single from their new mini-album “DEADLINE.” The comeback marks their first full-group release in more than three years. On January 27, 2026, the quartet unveiled the music video for the single, which quickly gained attention worldwide. Fans had been waiting since their 2022 album “Born Pink,” and the excitement was clear from the first hours of release. The video features powerful, dramatic visuals, bold fashion choices, and mesmerizing special effects that reflect the group’s established style and star power.
The mini-album “DEADLINE” breaks first-day sales records
According to the Hanteo Chart, “DEADLINE” sold approximately 1.44 million copies on its first day. This number sets a new record for the highest single-day sales by a girl group in the chart’s history. The figure surpasses the record previously set by BLACKPINK themselves in 2022. The achievement confirms the group’s established commercial strength in South Korea and around the globe. The album includes five tracks, with “GO” leading the project as its main single. In addition, “JUMP,” which was released last year, is featured on the mini-album as the opening track.
The names behind “GO” and its musical direction
“GO” stands out in BLACKPINK’s 10-year career because it explores different rhythms and production styles. While the track maintains the group’s signature energy, it incorporates fresh sounds and new textures, with an impressive beat drop that sounds familiar yet novel. The song was written by all four BLACKPINK members with additional contributions from Henry Rusell Walter, Teddy, Danny Chung and Cirkut. It also contains a sample from Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida,” on the bridge, making the band’s vocalist (Chris Martin) also a credited author on the track. The song was produced by Cirkut and Teddy
