Pink Venom" is a fiery hip-hop-flavored track that celebrates the contradictions at the heart of Blackpink. Rosé compares herself (in Korean) to a "venomous flower" in the pre-chorus. On the hook Lisa and Jennie also portray themselves as musical femme fatales. Straight to ya dome like ah, ah, ah Taste that pink venom The two girls liken themselves and their music to an irresistible surge of pleasure that goes straight to your head like a drug.

"Since our album's title is Born Pink, we wanted to relay our identity in the song as much as we could," Jennie said. "Since 'pink' and 'venom' have contradicting images, we thought they were kind of reminiscent of us... we are named Blackpink and contradiction is our charm - we wanted to show that. It's pink venom, a lovely poison, it's words that most express us." YG Entertainment in-house producer and frequent Blackpink collaborator Teddy Park wrote the bilingual song with Jeong "24" Hun-seol, R.Tee, Danny Chung and IDO. Teddy Park also created the Eastern hip-pop beat, which features a traditional Korean string instrument called a geomungo. "I remember the first time I listened to the song in the studio; it was really new and sounds we never attempted before," Rosé shared. "I just really wanted to record the song right away and show our performance." The music video features several elaborate setups, such as a raging sandstorm during dance scenes and a fire-lit cave where Rosé plays the guitar. The clip's choreography includes Blackpink's TikTok-ready "fang dance." "We visualized a fang with our hands which most intuitively expresses the 'Pink Venom' concept; everybody can follow it easily," said Lisa. "There's an impactful dance break at the end, and the set is just amazing."
