Me is the debut single album by South Korean singer and Blackpink member Jisoo. It was released on March 31, 2023 through YG Entertainment and Interscope Records. The single album was released with the lead single "Flower".

Background

"I'm not sure how much I want to go solo yet. The music I listen to, the music I can do, and the music I want to do — what should I choose? I love songs with lots of instruments. I love different bands and rock music. What do people want from me? There's a chaos of conflicting questions. So I'm still tilting my head in confusion. I'm not sure what will happen with my solo plans this year."

—Jisoo on pursuing a music career outside of Blackpink, Rolling Stone[1]

Following the release of bandmates Jennie's solo single "Solo" (2018), Rosé's solo single album R (2021), and Lisa's solo single album Lalisa (2021), attention turned towards Jisoo as the final member of Blackpink to debut as a soloist. During an interview with Rolling Stone the singer shared that she still felt "not sure" about pursuing a music career outside of the group and the direction it would go in.[1] On January 2, 2023, YG Entertainment confirmed that Jisoo was in the process of recording music for her single album and had completed filming the album's jacket photo shoots.[2][3] On February 21, her label revealed that filming for her music video was underway in a top-secret location overseas, with the highest production budget they have ever invested into a Blackpink music video.[4]

Release and promotion

On March 5, teasers were uploaded to Blackpink’s social media accounts, confirming that Jisoo's solo project would be released on March 31, 2023.[5] The same day, the single album was made available for pre-order in two standard versions alongside Kit and purple vinyl versions. Jisoo directly participated in the design to "increase the value of the collection".[6] On March 8, the album's title was announced to be Me and the cover art was revealed in a teaser poster featuring a close-up of Jisoo in floral accessories against a green background.[7] A second teaser poster was released on March 12 depicting Jisoo in a white ruffled dress against a black background.[8] On March 15, Jisoo unveiled the first visual teaser for the album with a red aesthetic.[9] On March 19, the name of the album's lead single was announced to be "Flower".[10] On March 21, Jisoo released the second visual teaser for the album with a black aesthetic.[11] The full tracklist and credits for the album were released on March 27.[12]

Aesthetics

Jisoo used bold red, black-and-white colors with floral accents in her social media posts and clothing during promotion of Me.[5] On March 15 and 21, the singer released two visual films for the single album. In the first one, Jisoo is seen wearing a "luxe" zebra print outfit while surrounded by "striking" red flowers, accompanied by traditional-sounding instrumentals.[9] The second video features primarily a black and white palette. Jisoo appears in a black crop top and a "satin-finished", wide skirt.[11]

Commercial performance

Me surpassed 510,000 pre-orders in two days and 840,000 pre-orders in a week. In just two weeks, the single album surpassed 950,000 pre-orders, the highest figure ever by a K-pop female solo artist.[13] On March 28, YG Entertainment announced that Me had exceeded 1.24 million pre-orders in three weeks, making Jisoo the first K-pop female solo artist to become a million-seller.[14] As of March 30, the single album had surpassed 1.31 million pre-orders.[15]
