BLACKPINK's "Pretty Savage" Is The 1st K-pop Live Stage in 2020 Surpasses
100 Million Views
As the waiting for a full album of BLACKPINK has been so long, this October must be one of the most memorable moments for Blinks and those who love the YG girl group when they dropped their first full album called "THE ALBUM", with "Lovesick Girl" as their title track.
The appearance of this album has created quite a fever for fans all over the world since all of their songs receive massive compliments in terms of music production, combining different music genres to make the most "BLACKPINK" sound. And of course, the members' vocals and rap parts are highly appreciated than ever.
BLACKPINK has the tradition of choosing two songs to perform on Korean stages, the title song, and a b-side song. And this's still right for this time when they took "Lovesick Girls" and "Pretty Savage" on music stages.
If 'Lovesick Girls" is a pop song telling the stories about love desire, "Pretty Savage" turns out a powerful "diss" track by the girls towards their haters. In the song, Lisa, Jennie, Rosé, and Jisoo give out references on stuff that anti fans bad-mouth about them and reply with a sassy voice and bars. Through the song, they confirm that they are pretty but also savage at the same time, so they don't really care about what haters say because they know they will keep working and shining brighter and brighter.
Besides the story, "Pretty Savage" is also loved because of the catchy melodies that could make people feel their power and attractiveness, that no one could resist but keep on listening. Therefore the live stage of this song was what fans waited for the most.
In just a couple of months, the performance hit the milestone of surpassing 100 Million views on December 27. It's the first live K-pop stage to do so in 2020!
Congratulations to the girls and Blinks!
