All the Blackpink collab songs you need to add to your playlist

Blackpink’s early Western crossovers remain essential playlist additions even years after their original releases. The South Korean quartet, formed in 2016, built a global following with punchy tracks like “Boombayah,” “Whistle,” and “DDU-DU DDU-DU” before the three high-profile collaborations arrived. Those singles introduced the group to new audiences and still surface on streaming charts and setlists today.

“Ice Cream” – Selena Gomez (Selpink)

“Ice Cream” arrived in August 2020 and paired the quartet with Selena Gomez for a bright, confectionary single. The track climbed to number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the longest-charting single by a female Korean act at the time. Its candy-colored video and playful choreography quickly became a summer staple.

By April 2026 the official clip had crossed one billion YouTube views, the group’s eighth video to reach the milestone. Fans still cite the song’s breezy hook and the obvious chemistry between Gomez and the members as reasons it continues to appear on summer playlists.

“Sour Candy” – Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga released “Sour Candy” in May 2020 as a promotional single from her album Chromatica. The track blends Gaga’s bold production with Blackpink’s rapid-fire verses and a bilingual chorus that switches between English and Korean. Songwriter Madison Love described the title as a nod to the sour-then-sweet dynamic of Sour Patch Kids commercials.

The song runs just over two minutes yet packs enough attitude to stand out on any dance playlist. Its streaming numbers have remained steady, and the track still surfaces in K-pop and electronic crossover sets.

“Kiss & Make Up” – Dua Lipa

“Kiss & Make Up” first appeared on the super-deluxe edition of Dua Lipa’s debut album in 2018, then resurfaced on her 2020 remix project Club Future Nostalgia. The bilingual pop track showcases Lipa’s sultry delivery alongside Blackpink’s sharper rap lines, creating a late-night club energy.

The song earned a spot on Blackpink’s In Your Area World Tour setlist, and Lipa joined the group onstage in Newark in 2019. Its enduring presence on streaming playlists keeps it relevant for listeners who want upbeat, bilingual pop without waiting for new releases.

Member Solo Collaborations

Since 2022 the members have pursued individual projects that expanded Blackpink’s reach into Western markets. Rosé’s 2024 single “APT.” with Bruno Mars became a global hit and earned three Grammy nominations, including Record of the Year. The track’s chart run and radio play introduced many listeners to the group through a solo lens.

Jennie appeared on a remix of Tame Impala’s “Dracula” that landed on Billboard’s best-songs-of-2026 lists. These features showed how individual members continue to attract high-profile partners while maintaining the group’s signature style.

Blackpink's 2026 Comeback and Deadline Era

After Born Pink in 2022, the quartet returned with the mini-album Deadline on February 27, 2026. The project includes tracks such as “GO” and “JUMP” and launched a supporting world tour. The release proved the group could still deliver tight, high-energy material after a period of solo activity.

The Deadline era also refreshed older catalog tracks during live shows, reminding fans that the early collaborations remain part of the group’s live identity.

Legacy of Early Collabs

“Ice Cream,” “Sour Candy,” and “Kiss & Make Up” have all maintained streaming momentum long after their initial release windows. Their continued placement on editorial playlists and occasional tour performances demonstrate how the 2020 singles aged into catalog staples rather than one-off novelties.

The billion-view milestone for the “Ice Cream” video in 2026 further underscores how those early Western partnerships helped cement Blackpink’s place in global pop history.

Unrealized Collab Wishes

The 2020 wish list of future partners included Billie Eilish, Tyga, and Halsey at the group level. None of those pairings materialized as official Blackpink tracks. Individual members have expressed continued admiration for some of those artists, but the group focused instead on solo crossovers and the Deadline comeback.

Listeners looking for fresh material can turn to the members’ recent solo work while the original three collaborations continue to soundtrack playlists around the world.
