BLACKPINK’s Jennie has unveiled the music video for Handlebars, a track from her first full-length solo album Ruby, further solidifying her presence as a global solo artist.

On March 11, Jennie released the Handlebars music video on her official YouTube channel. The 3-minute and 31-second video captivates viewers with a mystical and dreamy atmosphere. Notably, the visual features pop sensation Dua Lipa, whose presence alongside Jennie adds to the international appeal of the project.

The music video, shot in a film-camera style, evokes a nostalgic and cinematic quality. Its striking aesthetics and analog-inspired visuals make it reminiscent of a short film, with a focus on emotional storytelling and immersive production.

Handlebars explores the irresistible emotions of falling in love, portraying the struggle of being drawn to someone despite knowing the potential heartache. Dua Lipa's feature adds a distinctive touch, blending seamlessly with Jennie’s sultry vocals.

Jennie’s latest release is already rewriting records. Ruby debuted at No. 9 on Apple Music’s Top Albums chart in the United States—the highest ranking ever achieved by a K-pop solo artist. Additionally, the album reached No. 2 on Apple Music’s Top Albums chart in Europe, marking the best performance by any female K-pop soloist.

The album's success extends beyond album charts. The title track, Like JENNIE, claimed the No. 1 spot on Apple Music Korea’s Top Songs chart and topped China’s music rankings as well.

Meanwhile, Jennie will reveal the performance for Handlebars on March 12 through NPOP, Billboard, and Billboard Korea’s official YouTube channels.
