LISA Releases "Tarantino" Video and Her Press Play EP
The BLACKPINK member's six-track set is out on Lloud and RCA, with a spy-film video, a PlayStation tie-in and a Las Vegas residency starting November 12.
LISA released Press Play, a six-track EP, on Friday, October 23, through Lloud and RCA Records. The music video for its second single, "Tarantino," arrived at midnight with it, Billboard reported.
The single
The BLACKPINK member announced "Tarantino" on October 14 and shared its cover art, a circular photo of her face hidden behind a red envelope, per Billboard. The title is a nod to the director Quentin Tarantino. The hook runs: "It's a movie, baby, come and press play."
The video was directed by James Mackel. It runs about three and a half minutes and plays as a spy film set in a hotel, with LISA leading a routine with the hotel's maids and bellhops before fighting her way through the kitchen staff, Billboard wrote. It ends with a red letter slipped under the door of her "favorite director."
The PlayStation tie-in
Before the release, the song previewed in a 50-second PlayStation spot. In it, LISA picks up a controller and steps into games including Marvel's Wolverine and God of War: Laufey, according to Billboard. The spot promotes a limited-edition DualSense controller she helped design, which arrives October 30 in limited quantities. It extends a PlayStation 5 partnership that began last year, with merchandise sold through her Amazon store and PlayStation's online store. The controller also turns up in the "Tarantino" video, when LISA signs one for a fan, Billboard noted.
How the lead single did
Press Play was led by "SaWaDiKa," which debuted at No. 69 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 23 on the Billboard Global 200 in September, per Billboard. Her debut solo album, Alter Ego, peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 in 2025.
What else is on her calendar
The EP lands in a busy stretch. Always Lalisa, a documentary about her first solo year apart from BLACKPINK, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September and opened in theaters worldwide on October 12, Billboard reported. She won best pop at the 2026 VMAs.
Next is Las Vegas. Her residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace starts November 12. It was first set for four nights, and two more were added, citing "incredible fan demand," per Billboard.
