On April 25, 2025, BLACKPINK's Lisa posted a clip of her on-set shoot for her next project. The tweet, with a short audio clip and accompanied by her appearance in a grey leather jacket, dark blonde hair, and lace gloves, had fans speculating about an impending collaboration with the American pop-rock band Maroon 5.
Maroon 5 also added to more speculation by posting a picture on April 23, in which a man and a woman were standing on a building, gazing out at the city view. Netizens conjectured that the man must be Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, and the woman seemed to be the BLACKPINK star.
Following this, on April 24, the American pop-rock band shared another carousel of photos from a film set. All the snapshots included filming cameras and props, however, there was no hint of the artists. This further added a veil of mystery to the upcoming project.

Alter Ego is a multifaceted 15-track album. The album showcases elements of hip-hop, electropop, and trap music.

Born Again, featuring Doja Cat and Raye, is an electropop track with disco influences that serves as the album's pre-release. The song performed well commercially, debuting at No. 68 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
The music video was directed by Bardia Zeinali and presented symbolic representations of powerful women throughout history.
Rapunzel featuring Megan Thee Stallion has received over two million streams on Spotify within 24 hours of its release. New Woman ft. Rosalía is a flamenco-inspired rhythm that was released on August 15, 2024, and was put into Alter Ego afterward.
The album experienced commercial success, debuting in the top 10 in several countries, including Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United States. It also charted in the top 20 in Italy, Japan, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
