It’s been two weeks since STAYC’s third mini album release YOUNG-LUV.COM, and we took this time to soak it all in and live our daydreams vicariously through this album. YOUNG-LUV.COM gives us that...

When JENNIE released “Like JENNIE,” it wasn’t just a comeback, it was a lesson in effortless power. Soft but sharp, understated but unforgettable, the track doesn’t ask for attention. It just naturally becomes the center of it.
In a music industry built on spectacle, JENNIE takes the opposite route: minimal sound, maximal presence. “Like JENNIE” isn’t about screaming louder, it’s about knowing you don’t have to.
“Like JENNIE” doesn’t open with fireworks, it opens with a mood. The production is lean and intentional: a steady beat, a few glimmering synths, and her voice right up front, unfiltered.
She’s not here to separate herself from BLACKPINK. She’s here to show us who she’s always been underneath it.
There’s no overexplaining in this track, just clean lines delivered with precision. “You could never do it like JENNIE” isn’t a brag. It’s a fact delivered in lowercase energy.
The whole song walks a fine line: it’s not aggressive, it’s aware. She’s not asking if she’s iconic. She already knows, and she knows you know, too.
“Like JENNIE” is filled with vocal restraint, and that’s what makes it powerful. There’s no effort to over-sing or overcompensate. Every word lands with cool composure.
She floats between rapping and singing, talking and taunting, all without raising her voice. It’s controlled without tension, and that kind of delivery only works when the artist knows exactly who they are.
The music video? Sleek, moody, and personal. No unnecessary flash, just a perfectly curated atmosphere that matches the song’s tone. Every outfit feels intentional. Every camera angle feels intimate, not invasive.
It’s less “look at me” and more “you’re already watching.”
In a market obsessed with going bigger, louder, faster, “Like JENNIE” slows it all down. It strips the solo formula of its usual theatrics and redefines it through subtlety and control.
JENNIE isn’t trying to prove anything. That’s the power. She lets the world come to her, and it does. Because no matter how soft the delivery, the message is loud: there’s only one JENNIE.
Watch the video again. Listen without distraction. Notice the details. “Like JENNIE” isn’t a track you blast once, it’s a track you grow into. And the more you hear it, the more you realize: this isn’t just a comeback, it’s a blueprint.
“Like JENNIE” is more than a single. It’s a quiet flex wrapped in melody. It doesn’t chase trends, it sets its own pace. It’s cool without the performance, iconic without the volume.
And just like JENNIE herself, it knows exactly what it’s doing.
