As fans watched the preview of The Girls, they were naturally excited to have their much-awaited OST start to be revealed. Despite the teaser being no longer than ten seconds, fans love the energy and vibe of the song. Additionally, the cutely animated avatar characters of the members are an attractive feature.

The teaser for The Girls starts off with BLACKPINK's signature slogan and reveals one line from the song's lyrics.

After the reveal of these lyrics, fans connect them with the American singer-songwriter, producer, and One Republic's lead vocalist Ryan Tedder's Instagram story that he posted a day before. Given that the probable snippet of the OST's music video in Ryan's story had the members themselves appearing instead of their game avatars, fans hold hope for a fresh music video from BLACKPINK.

Fans are also excited and intrigued about a possible cross-over between the two artists for the upcoming OST. Ryan Tedder had previously dished about him working with Jennie and Rose to write songs for their then-upcoming album, but since none of them made it into the album, Born Pink, fans speculate that their collaboration will come to fruition with this OST release.

The group's mobile game, BLACKPINK The Game, is developed by Takeone Company. The game revolves around the concept of a management-style element, where each level of the game presents itself as a puzzle and other mini-games. The puzzle quest slowly builds as the player unlocks each room to play the different roles presented to the character there.

Following the reveal of the game, BLACKPINK's agency, YG Entertainment, released a statement during their press release, expressing the nature and purpose of the new mobile game.

One can purchase the game through the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, where BLACKPINK The Game becomes accessible after the in-app purchases.

Here's where fans found another interesting fact about the game: Given that there are layers to in-app purchases, fans found that there's one written as BLACKPINK: The Girls and another named BLACKPINK: The Queens. With the former track already revealed to fans and set for release soon, fans anticipate another OST from BLACKPINK for their mobile game, which will most likely be named The Queens.

Regardless, fans are excited about the upcoming OST track and continue to shower their love and support on the group's latest venture, BLACKPINK The Game.

BLACKPINK have been on their BORN PINK” world tour since October 2022. They are currently in their Asia leg of the tour with performances scheduled in Macau on May 20 and 21, and in Bangkok on May 27 and 28.
