Selena Gomez and BLACKPINK’s much-awaited collaboration “Ice Cream” was launched Friday morning. Within hours of its release, the song garnered millions of views on YouTube. The summer number is a Dance/Pop song with fresh and exciting sounds that go well with the hot weather.

The lyrics stand out by using the metaphor that although one may seem cold from the outside, one could actually be sweet like ice cream. BLACKPINK’s main producer TEDDY and global producing team including Tommy Brown, Mr. Franks, and 24 worked on the track together, said ygfamily.

The peppy number serves up a series of retro-inspired looks. The three-minute-long video has all the summer visuals, topped with vibrant colours, expected from both BLACKPINK and Gomez.

Talking about the style statement in the video, CNN Style quoted BLACKPINK as saying, “Throughout the music video we tried to have each look suit that entire set, and we especially focused on wearing bright colors that suit the overall vibe of the music and concept.

“Ice Cream” will feature on BLACKPINK’s upcoming album, “The Album”, which will see collaborations with the likes of Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga.

BLACKPINK, expressing their excitement over the new song said, “A song that we’ve worked hard on for a long time is finally being released. It’s particularly special because we were able to work with Selena Gomez.”
