“ExtraL” hits the ground running as an unapologetic anthem of female empowerment, blending Jennie’s slick K-pop charisma with Doechii’s gritty, commanding rap prowess. From the jump, the track oozes confidence with its infectious hook – “Do my, do my ladies run this?” – a chant that doubles as both a question and a flex. Produced by Dem Jointz, the beat is a bass-heavy rollercoaster, minimalist enough to let the vocals shine but punchy enough to keep your head nodding. It’s the kind of song that feels tailor-made for strutting through life like you own it.
Jennie kicks things off with a hypnotic flow, her verses dripping with swagger as she paints a picture of self-made success—think “foreign cars,” “top down, starin’ at the stars,” and a no-nonsense attitude that dares anyone to step out of line. Her delivery is polished yet fierce, a reminder of why she’s BLACKPINK’s rap queen.
Then Doechii slides in, and whoa, she steals the show for a hot minute. Her verse is a whirlwind of playful aggression – “Gimme chi, gimme purr, gimme meow, gimme her” – mixing wit with a raw edge that feels like a jolt of adrenaline. The synergy between them is electric, a perfect push-and-pull of styles that elevates the track beyond a standard collab.
Visually, the Cole Bennett-directed music video ( watch ) amplifies the track’s energy with vivid colors, slick choreography, and a futuristic flair—there’s even a quirky robotic purple creature that screams ‘90s sci-fi nostalgia. Jennie and Doechii rock matching white suits with red accents, serving looks and attitude in equal measure.
Overall, “ExtraL” is a banger that delivers what it promises: a fierce, fun celebration of women taking charge. It’s not rewriting the rulebook, but it’s a damn good time. Jennie and Doechii run this, no question.
