Blackpink’s Jennie released her highly anticipated second solo single, “You & Me”, on Friday, five years after hitting global charts with her first solo single, “Solo”.
Released in 2018, “Solo” swept various music charts at home and abroad, reaching No 1 on the iTunes chart of 40 countries and No 1 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart.

Jennie first performed the song on the opening night of Blackpink’s “Born Pink” world tour last October. In addition to the original song, she has also released a “Coachella” version of “You & Me”.
Fans reacted to the video, which shows the singer dancing in front of a glowing moon: “She slayed this performance like she did every other one. Queen Jennie,” one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. Another exclaimed, “This is a masterpiece.”
