Songfacts®:

  • "New Woman" is a collaboration between Lisa and her friend, the Spanish flamenco pop star Rosalia. It's a mostly up-tempo electro-pop tune about feeling renewed and confident.
  • The song is a bold statement of female empowerment, with Lisa blossoming into a powerful new persona. She charts a transformation from a delicate flower to a blazing wildfire, a journey of rebirth and unwavering confidence. Rosalia's Spanish verse is a fiery counterpoint, her signature flair adding an extra layer of intensity.
  • Lisa and Rosalia co-wrote "New Woman" with Swedish singer songwriters Tove Lo, Tove Burman and Max Martin. Martin also co-produced the song with his frequent sidekick Ilya.
  • Directed by Dave Meyers (Ariana Grande, Katy Perry), the video is a surreal and sexy exploration of identity and transformation. Lisa's playful experimentation with her image, including photocopying her face and sporting a blonde wig, goes with the song's theme of reinvention. Rosalia attaching her lip ring to Lisa's earring symbolizes their unique connection.
  • Lisa initially teased the song with the name "Brand New Día," hinting at the concept of a fresh start before the final title was revealed.
  • Lisa made her debut solo performance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards with a performance of "New Woman" and "Rockstar," which took the award for Best K-Pop.
