“Handlebars” sees JENNIE of BLACKPINK team up with British-Albanian singer-songwriter Dua Lipa.
The collaboration was first confirmed on February 19, 2025 after JENNIE revealed the tracklist of Ruby, while one day prior to its release on March 6 she took to her Instagram account to tease the music...
[Chorus: JENNIE]
I trip and fall in love
Just like a Tuesday drunk
I always go all in, all in, all in
Over the handlebars
Hitting the ground so hard
If I'm alone, fallin', fallin', fallin'
We ain't gotta talk about it
[Verse 1: JENNIE, Dua Lipa]
Mercy
Why is it love is never kind to me? (Me)
I heard that fools rush in and, yeah, that's me (Me)
It burns me time and time again
So why am I still fixing for this frying pan? (Thinkin')
[Pre-Chorus: Dua Lipa, JENNIE & Both]
I wonder what you're doing for tonight and forever (Oh-oh)
I could be the rest of your life or whatever
My lips and your lips, we could press them together (Together, 'gether)
I don't ever think twice, and, baby, that's why
[Chorus: JENNIE & Dua Lipa]
I trip and fall in love
Just like a Tuesday drunk
I always go all in, all in, all in
Over the handlebars
Hitting the ground so hard
If I'm alone, fallin', fallin', fallin'
[Verse 2: Dua Lipa]
Another round, another drink
I try to stop, but I can't think
About anything else but you (But you)
And I'm a little too buzzed on your love to play it cute
A single kiss, I lost my mind for seven days and seven nights
Can't eat, sleep, baby, it's true (It's true)
Tryna bite my lip, I'm probably gonna slip
And say some crazy shit to you
[Pre-Chorus: JENNIE & Dua Lipa]
I wonder what you're doing for tonight and forever (Oh-oh)
I don't ever think twice, and, baby, that's why
[Chorus: JENNIE & Dua Lipa, Dua Lipa]
I trip and fall in love
Just like a Tuesday drunk
I always go all in, all in, all in
Over the handlebars
Hitting the ground so hard
If I'm alone, fallin', fallin', fallin' (Fallin', yeah)
[Outro: Dua Lipa & JENNIE]
We ain't gotta talk about
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (Yeah)
We ain't gotta talk about
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
We ain't gotta talk about it
