Blackpink's Jennie will release her new song "Less than a Lover" on Thursday. 

"Less than a Lover" is a song that Jennie had already performed at the Governors Ball Music Festival, Roskilde Festival, Open'er Festival and Mad Cool Festival. 

Jennie was involved in the music video production, lyrics and musical production of the song, according to her agency OA Entertainment on Tuesday. 

The song features a lo-fi sound paired with guitar and vintage electric keyboard — a song that will "show a different side" of Jennie. 

Jennie debuted as a member of girl group Blackpink in 2016. She left YG Entertainment and founded her own agency, OA Entertainment, in 2023. The singer is known for her songs "Solo" (2018), "Mantra" (2024) and "like Jennie" (2025). 

Jennie will be performing at the Lollapalooza Chicago music festival, set to be held from July 30 to Aug. 2, and Summer Sonic 2026 in Japan on Aug. 14.
