However, the song came out as a hit pop track after its release. In a pink background, Rose sings the tracks while Bruno Mars is spotted playing drums behind. Bruno joins the BLACKPINK member and croons,
"It's whatever (Whatever), it's whatever (Whatever)/ It's whatever (Whatever) you like (Woo)/ Turn this apateu into a club (Uh-huh, uh-huh)/ I'm talkin' drink, dance, smoke, freak, party all night (Come on)/ Geonbae, geonbae, girl, what's up? Oh-oh, oh"

"If-if-if I could stop time for real / Would make it any easier for me to love you? / 'Cause you know I'm shy for you still / So bad that it kills / And I can't help but feel"
