On March 7, 2025, BLACKPINK's Jennie dropped her first solo album, Ruby. While the album features 15 tracks across various genres, one song in particular is garnering a lot of attention.
The track, Damn Right (feat. Childish Gambino and Kali Uchis), mentions the American singer, songwriter, and actress Beyoncé in one of the lines. The lyrics of the track states:
"Now you're struggling to keep your eyes on the road/ And you saw me whip my hair in the wind playing Beyoncé."
The song is a 90s R&B-infused track produced by Mike WiLL Made-It, featuring Childish Gambino and Kali Uchis. It blends each artist's unique style with the BLACKPINK singer's soft vocals, Kali Uchis's signature breathy tone, and Childish Gambino's conversational rap verse.
