Global top artist Jennie (JENNIE) will finally release her surprise new song as an official audio track, after setting the stage on fire with it at a world-class major music festival.
Emotional teaser shows her looking out the window of a truck… Directly involved in music video direction, songwriting, and production
On the 21st, her agency OA Entertainment abruptly released a teaser poster for Jennie’s new single, “Less than a Lover,” through its official social media. The track is expected to be simultaneously unveiled on major audio platforms around the world at 1 p.m. on the 24th.
In the released teaser image, Jennie gazes at the summer scenery beyond the window of a moving truck, creating a distinct languid yet exciting atmosphere. The vintage color palette and a unique visual reminiscent of a classic film immediately grabbed fans’ attention.
This new song stands out in meaning because Jennie was directly involved not only in songwriting but also in music video direction and the overall production. By infusing the entire track with her own delicate sensibility and original perspective, she proved her solid capabilities as a solo musician.
Fueled by explosive buzz from pre-releases at global festivals… Charts poised to be conquered as requests for an official release pour in
Previously, Jennie surprised audiences by giving a sneak preview of the new song as the headliner of major global music festivals, including the U.S. “The Governors Ball Music Festival 2026,” Denmark’s “Roskilde Festival,” Poland’s “Open’er Festival,” and Spain’s “Mad Cool Festival.” Immediately after the set, fancam videos spread quickly across various social media and short-form platforms. As fans around the world kept calling for an official release, this audio release was made possible.
Unlike a stage focused mainly on intense performances, the new song delivers a fresh musical transformation that blends lo-fi guitar riffs with vintage electric keyboard sounds. With Jennie’s deeper vocal tones added, a crisp yet emotionally appealing summer song was born.
With Jennie already dominating global trends with only the pre-released performances, industry eyes are on what kind of results she will produce in major charts at home and abroad after the official audio release on the 24th. Meanwhile, Jennie is set to keep up her nonstop global momentum, with appearances lined up at large festivals such as the U.S. “Lollapalooza Chicago” and Japan’s “Summer Sonic 2026.”
