JENNIE Drops New Single ‘Less Than a Lover’

BLACKPINK superstar and solo powerhouse JENNIE has officially returned with her newest release, “Less than a Lover,” out now via OddAtelier/Columbia Records. The song’s infectious hook captures the delicate balance of keeping things casual yet intimate: “‘Cause all I need this summer / Is a little bit less than a lover / Need a little bit less than a lover / You get a little bit more than another / Need a little bit less, little less, little less / Need a little bit less than a lover,” Jennie sings on the chorus. Beyond her vocal performance and songwriting contributions, JENNIE took a hands-on directorial role for the song’s cinematic music video, co-directing the project alongside Choeey. Framed like a candid, behind-the-scenes film set, the video features directorial voiceovers from JENNIE outlining the storyline in real-time. She’s very confused, but also knows what she wants…just to enjoy summer,” JENNIE explains in the opening monologue, moving through hazy seaside scenes alongside Kai.
