On August 10, two sets of individual member teaser posters were posted to Blackpink's official social media accounts.[5][6] On August 11 and 12, two sets of concept teaser videos were released for each individual member.[7][8] On August 13, the credits of the song were reported through a teaser poster with all four members together.[9] A new concept video was presented a day later, showing all four members being trapped in a glass box.[10] On August 17, the teaser for the music video was released.[11] On August 19, the music video was premiered and released alongside the "#PinkVenomChallenge".[12]

Composition

"Pink Venom" was written by Teddy Park and Danny Chung and composed by Teddy, 24, R. Tee, and Ido, while production was handled by 24, R. Tee, and Ido.[13] It is a dance,[14] EDM, hip-hop and pop rap song that incorporates traditional Korean instruments such as the geomungo.[15][16][17] The song was Influenced by the 90s hip-hop and electropop.[18] In terms of musical notation, the song is written in the key of C minor, has a tempo of 90 beats per minute.[19] Lyrically, it expresses Blackpink's confidence and dual identity as both sweet and deadly. On the track's title, Jennie commented, "Since 'pink' and 'venom' have contradicting images, we thought they were kind of reminiscent of us… It's pink venom, a lovely poison, it's words that most express us.”[20] "Pink Venom" includes three lyrical references: Jennie opens the first verse with “Kick in the door, waving the coco," a play on the lyric “Kick in the door, wavin’ the .44” from the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Kick in the Door",[21] while one of Lisa's verses interpolates the lyrics "One by one, then two by two" from Rihanna's "Pon de Replay".[22] The last reference was Rosé's verse "Look what you made us do" playing on the lyric "Look What You Made Me Do," from Taylor Swift's 2017 song.[18]

Jon Caramanica of The New York Times said that the song "has the comfort of anarchy." He added, "Every four bars, a new approach enters — familiar K-pop elasticity, loose Middle Eastern themes, gaudy rock, West Coast rap, and more. It exists out where maximalism moves past philosophy to aesthetic."[25] Tanu I. Raj of NME said "Pink Venom" is a "promising preview of their new era."[24] Lauren Puckett-Pope writing for Elle said, "The song is catchy but discombobulated, a disorienting blend of rap, floating vocals, and an anti-drop chorus, featuring a few choice Easter eggs in the lyrics."[26] Pitchfork's Alex Ramos said that the song "impresses with its braggadocio and influences" and praised the use of lyrical references from the 1990s and ’00s.[27] Vulture's Charlie Harding noted that "The song is a maximalist homage to classic hip-hop and pop that intensifies the recent trend of heavy sampling and interpolation. Just as Blackpink settles on a sound, the band flips the script in the second verse with aplaintive G-funk- style moog floating over a '90s hip-hop beat reminiscent of Missy Elliott's "Work It", but all of these Western references are balanced with Korean sounds."[21] Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone noted that "Pink Venom blew up this summer, their splashiest hit yet, switching between English and Korean—they strut their stuff with the bombastic panache of a vintage Eighties glam-metal band, on the level of Poison or Motley Crue, especially when Rosé proclaims 'I'm so rock and roll! roll!.”[28] Conversely, Park Soo-jin of IZM rated the song unfavorably, feeling that "Pink Venom" shows Blackpink "rushing out to create an image, not a song", and expressed that "there is a sense of fatigue from those who want to look higher".[23] Ranking it as number 35 in their list of the top 100 songs of 2022, Rolling Stone called the song an "unbelievably fun raising-hell anthem full of Eighties hair-metal glam."[29]
