Billboard picks JENNIE’s ‘like JENNIE’ as the best K-pop song of 2025 so far:
— “Like JENNIE” isn’t just a Billboard Hot XXX and Pop Airplay hit — it’s a two‑minute power surge that truly cements JENNIE’s status as a next-generation It Girl.
Over a metallic hybrid of baile funk and phonk production (courtesy of Diplo), she delivers some of the sharpest rapping of her career with a snarled confidence, with lines like “Name, shame, blame tryna burst my bubble” upturning every negative narrative on its head. Co-written with top names like Tayla Parx and ZICO, the track’s self-referential lyrics double as a manifesto of identity. Despite the hate or jealousy leveled at her, JENNIE remains the blueprint everyone wants to follow: “Who wanna rock with JENNIE? Keep your hair done, nails done like JENNIE/ Who else got ’em obsessed like JENNIE? Like, like, like, I think I really like JENNIE.”
Like JENNIE” is a standout on the BLACKPINK star’s Ruby album, not just as the best track on the LP, but also for being the one track that weaves Korean into an otherwise all-English record. The song still resonated far beyond K-pop circles, peaking at No. XX on the Hot XXX and becoming Ruby’s longest-charting song. Even Top XX pop radio — a far more traditional platform and not historically overly welcoming of Korean-language material — embraced the celebratory anthem, as “Like JENNIE” spent XX weeks on the Pop Airplay chart and even outpeaked Ruby’s all-English lead single, “Mantra.”
At the halfway point of 2025, “Like JENNIE” speaks volumes, showing that Jennie Kim cannot only serve a self-celebratory anthem for the masses but also flip all expectations of what constitutes a K-pop hit today.”
