JENNIE is fully taking ownership of it. With Ruby on the way, the K-pop superstar collaborates with Dominic Fike for “Love Hangover,” a woozy, intoxicating song that sticks like the aftertaste of a mistake you’d repeat.
“Fight me, fight me, fight me. You made me so unlike me,” JENNIE intones, her voice featherlight yet laden with tension. “Love Hangover” is a spiraling, moody admission of toxic attraction, knowing it’s wrong but wanting it regardless. Fike, a wizard at shaping sad-boys bangers, also slips in seamlessly, and his verse makes the playfully lingering track’s hazy after-dark quality feel like a cozy embrace. Their chemistry? Undeniable. Their heartbreak? Inevitable.
The video, shot in Mexico City, is another level of raw intensity. Both Jennie and actor Charles Melton are on screen. It’s not merely visual storytelling. It’s visceral, an experience that makes “Love Hangover” sting even more.
“Love Hangover” has already accrued over 11 million Spotify streams in days, quickly becoming a juggernaut that sets the stage for Ruby’s full effect. Due out at the beginning of March, it features guest appearances from Dua Lipa, Childish Gambino, and Kali Uchis, clear evidence that JENNIE is now playing in the big leagues, not just a K-pop sensation but a world pop force in her own right.
