Lisa finally released her highly anticipated digital single "ROCKSTAR" on June 28, enticing BLINKs. The music video was praised by many due to Lisa's astounding charisma, the song, visuals, filming location, and many more.
However, on the same day (June 28), a netizen established a post titled, "I Hope BLACKPINK Lisa Doesn't Participate In Writing The Lyrics." The author of the post criticized the lyrics for being "limited" and "repetitive."
"The lyrics feel quite limited and repetitive," OP remarked. "It always includes Lisa's name, and it seems like she never deviates from the same style as her previous songs."
"It feels like only a few words have been changed," OP added.
Fans disagreed with the post and defended the BLACKPINK member.
"But if she doesn't participate in the composing and writing, foreigners won't treat her like a rapper. She's gonna get better the more she does it."
"I wish that you would stop coming on Nate Pann."
"There's no female who participates in lyrics writing as much as Lisa. Aren't your standards too high?"
"Do you really think that she'll stop because you are telling her to stop?"
"This post and the comments feel like bait. The lyrics aren't anything too special but it's a good start. I assume she'll only get better the more she participates in writing."
"I don't care what y'all say but she ate this comeback up. I was shocked by the entire music video, and that dance break at the end is just, wow."
"My god, if you guys don't like her or BLACKPINK, why do you keep talking about them?"
"This is such a good bait post. Not only is the post itself controversial but the comments are perfect bait too."
However, agreed with the claims regarding Lisa's songwriting skills, as well as criticized the song's mixing, vocals, and rap.
"Listened to it once, but because of the Japanese cringe line, I won't again."
"The song had very little to work with of course it wasn't gonna be groundbreaking."
"She is talented and has so much of charisma. But I don't know if she has anything to show as a solo artist."
"BLINKs claiming YG was holding her back only for her to release crap like this. Her vocals, rapping and now songwriting cannot carry a song. The vocal mixing was horrible."
On X (Twitter), netizens reacted to the song's "Teach me Japanese" part.
lisa showing thai people face in response to 'lalisa teach me Japanese' it's a kick in the face to those who said she wasn't proud to be Thai lol she knows SHE ALWAYS KNOWS
she is known for her corny ass lyrics, me and my bf thought it could be this at first but we concluded that that was even too kind for her coz the next thing she said was “imma rockstar/ i make u rock hard” 🚶🏻♀️🚶🏻♀️🚶🏻♀️ https://t.co/svamYQG39B
