Rockstar

The song 'Rockstar' is a celebration of the rapper's life of success, wealth and influence, even after the end of the South Korean group BLACKPINK, where LISA started out. The lyrics highlight LISA's confidence and pride in her abilities and achievements. Right from the start, with 'Gold teeth sittin' on the dash, she a rockstar', the artist already establishes her high status and luxurious lifestyle. The reference to the gold teeth on the dashboard is a metaphor for the ostentation and wealth she possesses.

LISA also prides herself on her ability to influence other artists, as mentioned in 'Make your favorite singer wanna rap, baby'. This shows her impact on the music industry, where even singers from other genres want to follow her example. Also, in the chorus, the verse 'La, la Lisa' functions as a very clever reference to the singer's full name, Lalisa. This is not her given name, but she changed it because a fortune teller told her that this name would bring her prosperity.

In addition, the line 'Lisa, can you teach me Japanese? I said: はい、はい' highlights her ability to be multilingual, as the rapper speaks Thai, English, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese, as well as demonstrating her connection to different cultures, reinforcing her versatility and global reach.

The song also makes reference to various cities, such as MIA (Miami) and BKK (Bangkok), indicating that LISA feels at home anywhere in the world. This is confirmed by the verse 'Every city that I go is my city', showing her confidence and dominance in any environment. The song's production, which mixes elements of hip-hop and electronica, perfectly complements the message of power and success that LISA wants to convey.

The music video - with cyberpunk settings in Bangkok, Chinatown, and Yaowarat Road, Thailand - as well as impressive choreography, adds a visual layer that further enriches the experience of the song. 'Rockstar' is the debut single from LISA's new era: she has already announced that she will also be releasing a new album after almost three years of inactivity in her solo career.
