On April 20, 2025, BLACKPINK's Jennie returned to the Coachella stage with a solo act during the second leg of the 2025 festival at the Outdoor Stage in Indio, California.

This marked her individual comeback at the event for a second time. The South Korean singer delivered a live showcase featuring songs from her debut studio record, Ruby, performing titles such as Filter, Handlebars, Mantra, and like JENNIE.

The set lasted close to 45 minutes and was accompanied by background dancers and digital projections. During her Starlight performance, the songstress took a pause after the line, “I just wanna make my mama prouder.” She then turned to the crowd and said in Korean:
