KUALA LUMPUR, June 24 — Blackpink’s Jennie and Canadian pop star The Weeknd finally dropped their long-awaited collaboration, One Of The Girls.
Released yesterday as part of the soundtrack to the HBO series The Idol, the song features The Weeknd, Jennie, and actress Lily Rose-Depp serenading over a sensual slow-trap beat.
The track was first teased by Jennie in May during a Calvin Klein event and was rumoured even earlier when music fans speculated over the two international artists potentially working together.
Knowing how much their fans wanted the track, the two singers posted announcements on their respective social media as soon as it dropped.
Jennie posted a series of photos of her at the M.W.A Music recording studio where The Weeknd usually mixes his songs.
Meanwhile, The Weeknd released a short audio recording on Twitter which revealed Jennie’s part of the track.

Social media users, particularly fans of Jennie, praised her sultry vocals and were excited to hear her first solo music in five years.
Jennies voice is so spectacular. I was just expecting a little more lines for her but I'll settle for that verse which is literally my favourite. It was totally worth to hear. Perfect collab!
