In a move that’s equal parts unexpected and genius, BLACKPINK’s Jennie and world-renowned DJ Peggy Gou have teamed up for a remix of Jennie’s solo track "Like Jennie" and it couldn’t have dropped at a more meaningful moment. Just ahead of Jennie’s highly anticipated solo stage at Coachella 2025, the remix signals something bigger than just a pre-festival release: it is a statement.
Originally released in March as the lead single from her solo debut Ruby, "Like Jennie" is already an anthem. Written by Jennie herself, the track is bold, minimal, and self-aware, it also built around a sleek beat and a confident hook that plays with the idea of identity, perception, and self-ownership. It is a song that says: you think you know me, but you don’t. And that is kind of the point.
The Peggy Gou remix does not just repackage the track – it reimagines it. Gou leans into a more atmospheric, house-driven sound, smoothing out the original’s pop edges and replacing them with hypnotic rhythms and layered textures. Jennie’s vocals feel more spacious here, less centred, almost floating, as if the remix is meant to be felt more than followed.
This kind of genre-blending collaboration is still relatively rare in K-pop, especially between two Korean women who have made global names for themselves in such different scenes. It’s not just a remix, it is a crossover moment. One that highlights the flexibility and evolving identity of Korean music on the world stage.
It is also a sign of where things are headed. As Korean artists continue to push into global spaces, collaborations like this show that they are not just adapting to trends, they are shaping them. Jennie stepping onto the Coachella stage as a solo act while releasing a remix like this makes it clear: she is playing a long game that extends beyond K-pop. The "Like Jennie" remix is not just a cool track to stream, it is a case study in how artists are choosing to tell new stories through sound, and how Korean women in music are doing it on their own terms.
The “Like Jennie (Peggy Gou Remix)” is now available across major streaming platforms. You can listen and watch the official remix video here:
