Rapunzel and Alter Ego’s Success
Rapunzel is the seventh track on Lisa’s solo debut album Alter Ego, released on February 28, 2025.

The song has been praised for its catchy beat and empowering message. Lisa’s verses focus on personal growth, while Megan’s raps emphasize financial success and dismissing critics.

Teaser Announcement and Fan Reactions
On April 20, 2025, Lisa teased the Rapunzel live performance video through posts on X, igniting excitement among fans, known as Lilies. The teaser, shared by accounts like @BuzzingPop and @327clips, featured snippets of Lisa’s choreography and stage presence, hinting at a dynamic performance. Fans flooded social media with enthusiasm, with one user, @SELENAPlNK, writing, “LISA lanzará un live performance de ‘Rapunzel’ y ROSÉ y yo estaremos transmitiendo porque GANAMOS SO BAD 🙂↕️💓🌟✨”.
Another fan, @allurequinn, posted, “LISA FOR RAPUNZEL LIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEO. OUT SOON.”. The teaser has already amassed thousands of views, with fans praising Lisa’s ability to command attention. Many are eager to see how she brings Rapunzel’s energy to life, especially after her explosive performances at Coachella 2025.
What to Expect from the Rapunzel Video
The Rapunzel live performance video is expected to highlight Lisa’s choreography, which has been a cornerstone of her solo work. Her previous performance videos, like MONEY in 2021 and FUTW in March 2025, featured high-energy dance routines and bold visuals. Fans speculate the Rapunzel video will include Megan Thee Stallion’s verses, though it’s unclear if she will appear.
Based on the teaser, the video will likely feature Lisa’s signature mix of fierce rapping and fluid dance moves, possibly with a nod to the song’s fairy-tale theme. Fans are also hoping for a music video for Rapunzel, as some expressed on Reddit, “I think she said there’s going to be another video after FUTW so I hope it’s for lifestyle (I know people are hoping for a rapunzel video which makes sense but I would personally prefer a lifestyle one)”.

Lisa’s Coachella 2025 Triumph
Lisa’s solo performance at Coachella 2025 on April 11, 2025, set a high bar for her live shows. Performing on the Sahara Stage, she delivered a set that included Rapunzel, Thunder, Elastigirl, and MONEY, among others. Her entrance, emerging on a monolithic pillar in a metallic bodysuit, was a highlight, with critics noting her virtuosic vocals and double-time rapping.
The performance earned her the nickname “LISACHELLA” on social media, with hashtags like #THAICONIC trending worldwide. BLACKPINK members Rosé and Jisoo were spotted in the crowd, cheering her on, alongside White Lotus co-stars Patrick Schwarzenegger and Tayme Thapthimthong. Rosé even conducted a playful post-show interview with Lisa, asking about behind-the-scenes moments, which was shared by MTV UK.
“For the White Lotus fans, you might be surprised to see Mook onstage. This is her when she’s not working.”
However, some online critics called her choreography “too suggestive” or “unpolished,” sparking debate. Fans quickly defended her, with one writing, “Why are people pressed? She’s a 28-year-old woman doing what she wants”. The overwhelming response was positive, with outlets like Billboard and Los Angeles Times praising her as a solo star.
Lisa’s Journey as a Solo Artist
Lisa, born Lalisa Manobal in Thailand, debuted with BLACKPINK in 2016 under YG Entertainment. Her solo career began with the single album Lalisa in September 2021, featuring Lalisa and MONEY. The Lalisa music video broke records as the most-viewed by a solo artist in 24 hours on YouTube, with 73.6 million views. MONEY became a global hit, charting in the top 10 of the Billboard Global 200.
In 2024, Lisa launched her own company, Lloud, and signed with RCA Records for solo releases, retaining full ownership of her recordings. Her debut album Alter Ego, released in February 2025, marked a new chapter, showcasing her growth as a rapper, singer, and performer. She also made her acting debut in The White Lotus Season 3 as Mook, earning praise for her versatility.
Lisa’s live performances have always been a draw. Her 2024 ROCKSTAR performance, her first solo live show since leaving YG for solo activities, featured updated choreography and striking visuals. She also headlined the Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes charity event in Paris in January 2024, performing Lalisa and MONEY with a live orchestra.
Lisa’s Solo Success and BLACKPINK’s Future
Lisa’s solo success has solidified her as a global star, but she remains committed to BLACKPINK. In a recent ELLE interview, she said, “Of course we’re continuing, for sure. We’re so proud of BLACKPINK, and I love BLACKPINK. It is not just because of our fans, it’s for ourselves.”. BLACKPINK renewed their group contract with YG Entertainment in December 2023, ensuring future group activities.
Her Coachella performance and upcoming Rapunzel video underscore her ability to balance solo and group work. Fans are also excited for Jennie’s solo Coachella set on April 13, 2025, where Lisa and Rosé were seen supporting her.
