Rosé, the New Zealand-born member of BlackPink, has made a solo track outside the group that has become a global smash. Her collaboration with Bruno Mars, titled "APT," was released in 2024 and remains the biggest solo track from the BlackPink mothership. Her new single, "New Trick," follows a similar path. The song is an explosive piece of bubblegum synth-punk, featuring catchy hooks and reminiscent of Olivia Rodrigo's wave.
It was co-written by Amy Allen, a prominent collaborator of Rodrigo, and Andrew Wells. Produced by Allen, "New Trick" is directed by Dave Meyers, who shot it on an iPhone. The video attempts to portray Rosé as a suburban rocker, featuring scenes of her lying on an empty pool and skateboards jumping over her. The video has been criticized for being unsafe, with one scene involving pyro.
