On May 16, 2025, BLACKPINK’s Lisa dropped the visually striking music video for “When I’m With You”, featuring South African singer Tyla.
The track is the ninth song from Lisa’s highly anticipated first solo studio album, “ALTER EGO.”
Known for her bold artistic direction, Lisa dives into emotionally intimate territory with this release.
The music video portrays the raw push-and-pull of desire vs. restraint, as Lisa sings about how love—or lust—can unravel your carefully maintained self-control.
The lyrics speak of a version of herself that only exists when she’s with this particular person: vulnerable, impulsive, and completely unguarded.
Visually, the MV complements the sultry and introspective tone of the song. With minimalist lighting, rich hues, and intimate choreography, it underscores the internal tension Lisa describes.
Tyla’s sensual vocals blend seamlessly with Lisa’s, adding a dynamic emotional layer to the track that’s as haunting as it is alluring.
“When I’m With You” continues to highlight Lisa’s evolution as a solo artist—confident, boundary-pushing, and unafraid to embrace her complex emotional identity outside the BLACKPINK framework.
This marks another major step in Lisa’s solo career, further cementing her global influence and artistic maturity.
