BLACKPINK's Lisa released MONEY as the second single from the album, LALISA, on November 9, 2021. As of May 26, 2024, the track's music video has surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube, making it the fastest MV by a K-pop solo artist to achieve this feat. MONEY became Lisa's second top-ten success and the longest-charting single by a K-pop soloist at the time when it reached its commercial high at number 10 on the Billboard Global 200.
Bekuh Boom, Vince, and 24 collaborated to construct the song's music while R. Tee wrote the lyrics. The dynamic hip-hop song lyrics are a pompous celebration of wealth and materialism. According to Billboard, the track's melody is based around a lazy horn loop, similar to modern American rap.
It became the first K-pop single by a solo artist to surpass one billion Spotify plays in 2023 and was inducted into the Guinness World Record. In addition to appearing in 26 other nations' record charts, the song attained the longest charting position ever for a K-pop female soloist on the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart.
