BLACKPINK’s Latest Track Ignites Backlash Over Sexist Lyrics

BLACKPINK is facing controversy ahead of their new album DEADLINE.

The drama started when their YouTube channel accidentally uploaded the musical tracks for every song on the album. Fans noticed big-name producer Dr. Luke credited on some songs. Dr. Luke has faced serious sexual assault and rape accusations in the past, sparking immediate backlash.

One track, “Me & My,” leaked earlier, caught more heat after fans reexamined the lyrics. Many called out the misogynistic vibe, especially the line:

“You know, that’s my girl / When I call her bitch, it’s a compliment.”

This line upset fans, who pointed out none of the songwriters were women. Coupled with Dr. Luke’s involvement, social media quickly blew up.

Twitter users slammed the song:

“there’s no way the same woman who made ruby would allow this”

“hide yo man” “you know that’s my girl when i call her a bitch” mind you the people who wrote this song are all MEN

“of course a song so distasteful (and arguably so male-centered) like Me & My Girls could only have been written by ….. a bunch of men! (including a rapist)”

“i hope the lashings will be big enough to reach them like something needs to pop their bubble of ignorance they’re comfortably sitting in already”

“The group is such a joke. All their ‘feminist’ songs being written by men with lyrics that just puts other women down and now they sealed it with working with a rapist.”
— Rapunzell (@churannie_)

“You BLINKs need to grow a spine and not support that comeback or album.”

“disappointed at the pinks but honestly not surprised. They always let YG handle the group music and never overlook their own group projects. They in the position to negotiate about everything so surely this could have been avoided”
— PanthèreWomanJisoo (@jisoomymuse)

Fans are furious that BLACKPINK worked with Dr. Luke and accepted these lyrics, seeing it as a step too far. The group has faced controversies before, but this one looks especially damaging.

Embed tweets reflect fan outrage pouring in on various platforms, showing just how widespread the backlash is.

BLACKPINK and YG Entertainment have not yet responded to the controversy. Fans are watching closely to see how this will affect the upcoming album launch.
