BLACKPINK have shared a key new detail about their upcoming return. The group’s next mini album, Deadline, will feature five tracks, with their 2025 single “Jump” officially included on the record. While the album’s title and release date were announced earlier, this update offers the clearest picture yet of what fans can expect musically from the long-awaited comeback.
Set to arrive on February 27, Deadline marks BLACKPINK’s first group project since 2022’s Born Pink. The mini album reunites Jennie, Jisoo, Rosé and Lisa after several years where each member pursued solo albums, acting roles and major fashion partnerships, making this release a significant moment in the group’s post-contract-renewal era.
Although the full tracklist has not been revealed, the inclusion of “Jump” offers a clear indication of the album’s direction. Released in July 2025, the track marked BLACKPINK’s first new group song in nearly two years and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts. Its performance reaffirmed the group’s global pull and set the tone for their return during the ongoing Deadline World Tour.
Deadline will be BLACKPINK’s third mini album, following Square Up in 2018 and Kill This Love in 2019. The album takes its name from the group’s current world tour, which began in Seoul at Goyang Stadium and concludes on January 26 after final shows in Tokyo and Hong Kong. The tour has already delivered historic moments, including BLACKPINK becoming the first K-pop girl group to headline London’s Wembley Stadium.
The comeback carries added significance after a period of individual growth. Rosé released her solo album Rosie in 2024, Lisa followed with Alter Ego and expanded into acting with HBO’s The White Lotus, Jennie debuted her solo project Ruby, and Jisoo released her EP Amortage while continuing her acting career. Despite these parallel paths, BLACKPINK renewed their contract with YG Entertainment in 2023, reaffirming BLACKPINK as an active, long-term project.
With five tracks confirmed and “Jump” leading the way, Deadline signals a focused return that reconnects the group’s collective identity with the humongous scale they now command.
