The Blackpink girlies are teaming up with other huge artists as they embark on their solo endeavors. Case in point: Lisa tapped Rosalía, Raye, and Doja Cat to collaborate across several songs, while Rosé scored a Billboard chart-topper with Bruno Mars. Now, Jennie is gearing up to drop her debut solo album, Ruby, which is equally as stacked with a star-studded line-up. She dropped “Love Hangover” with Dominic Fike on January 31 and announced other tracks featuring Dua Lipa, Childish Gambino, Kali Uchis, and FKJ.
Her latest drop, “ExtraL,” features our favorite Swamp Princess, Doechii, and you already know it’s on heavy rotation. The duo comes in hot on the track, reminding us that strong women don’t need permission to make big moves. As we gear up for Ruby’s release and Jennie’s upcoming slew of live shows, now seems like the perfect time to dive into Jennie and Doechii’s “ExtraL” lyrics.

[Intro: Jennie]
Do my, do my ladies run this, ladies run this?
Do my, do my ladies run this, ladies run this? (Yeah)
Do my, do my ladies run this, ladies run this? (Incoming)
Do my, do my ladies run this, ladies run this? (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Dare I say this is giving the Gen Z equivalent of Beyoncé’s “Run the World (Girls)”?
[Verse 1: Jennie]
All of my girls looking good and they got they own money (Do my, do my ladies run this?)
Pop your shit
This for my girls with no sponsor, they got they own fundin’ (Do my, do my ladies run this?)
Not your shit
Run through your city, that motorcade (Do my, do my ladies run this?)
Soon as I enter, they close the gate (Ladies run this?)
Presidential through your residential
Bitch, it’s nothing
Jennie comes into the track swinging, shouting out the girls who are getting their money up and doing it all on their own. This could also allude to the fact that she founded her own label, Odd Atelier, and started releasing her solo music.
[Pre-Chorus: Jennie]
Said, “Fuck your rules,” is the mood, damn right
Walk in a room and I set the vibe
Get a pic, it’ll last you long
Whole team, they gassin’ on us
You sit too far down on ‘em charts to even ask me who’s in charge
[Chorus]
Ridin’ ‘round, foreign cars (Yeah)
Top down, starin’ at the stars (Yeah)
Attitude, so don’t start shit (Yeah)
Big moves, only extra large, yeah
Ridin’ ‘round, foreign cars
Top down, starin’ at the stars
Attitude, so don’t start shit
Big moves, only extra large, yeah
Wait (Do my ladies run this?)
Wait (Do my ladies run this?)
Wait (Do my ladies run this?)
She plays by her own rules and doesn’t listen to people who aren’t making moves for themselves. She cheekily references her history of sitting on top of the Billboard charts, whether it’s with Blackpink or through her solo endeavors (including “One of the Girls” with Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd).
[Verse 2: Doechii]
Doechii (Yo, yeah)
Gimme chi, gimme purr, gimme meow, gimme her, gimme funds
Gimme rights, gimme fight, gimme nerve, gimme cunt, let me serve, rrr
Lemme, lemme out, lemme in
Knock the doors down, got the keys to the Benz
In the boardroom looking bored ‘cause I’m not here for pleasin’ the men
Not here to reason with them
Misbehaved, Miss Push-My-Pen
I can’t tame my passion for him
Can’t keep up, what happened to them? (Do my ladies run this?)
Yeah, we lappin’ the men
Doechii the Don describes Femme Fatale energy by likening women to felines and lets it be known that she doesn’t make any decisions with men in mind. If that makes her seem “misbehaved,” then so be it.
[Verse 3: Doechii and Jennie]
Top of the food chain, bussin’ a new chain
This ain’t a new thing, no, sir
Money on stupid, hopped in a new whip
You still on my old work (Yeah, yeah)
Work, work, this might hurt (Yeah, yeah)
I sweat hard, wet T-shirt (Yeah, yeah)
Extra large, ain’t scared of the dirt (Yeah, yeah)
Hit that jackpot, now I’m
The duo reflects on how far they’ve come and how people are still locked into their past personas and music drops. Doechii also references her “TikTok music” on “DENIAL IS A RIVER,” likely referring to tracks like “What It Is” and “Persuasion.” On this track alone, Jennie clarifies that she’s taking the reigns on her solo endeavors outside Blackpink.
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus]
Work, work, this might hurt
I sweat hard, wet T-shirt
Extra large, ain’t scared of the dirt (Scared of the dirt), yeah, yeah
Work, work, this might hurt
I sweat hard, wet T-shirt (Yeah, yeah)
Extra large, ain’t scared of the dirt (Yeah, yeah) (Scared of the dirt)
Work, work (Rrr)
Buuut don’t get it twisted. They’ve earned their success through hard work and are reaping in the benefits.
[Outro]
Do my, do my ladies run this, ladies run this?
Do my, do my ladies run this, ladies run this?
Do my, do my ladies run this, ladies run this?
Do my, do my ladies run this, ladies run this?
