World-renowned rapper, singer, dancer, and style icon, LISA releases her highly anticipated EP PRESS PLAY via LLOUD Co./RCA Records - Listen HERE. The six-track project is created with a movie in mind, so fans can sit down, and ‘press play.’ 

 

Alongside the EP, she releases the music video for focus track “Tarantino” - Watch HERE. The video follows LISA’s epic, action-packed journey through a hotel to deliver a note to her favorite director, Tarantino. In true Tarantino fashion, the video incorporates action sequences with LISA throwing punches at anyone who gets in her way. 

 

PRESS PLAY includes the previously released single “SaWaDiKa.” “SaWaDiKa,” which is the Thai greeting for ‘hello’ and its accompanying music video shot in her native Bangkok, surpassed 70.8 Million YouTube views in its first 24 hours of release landing it among LISA’s biggest YouTube debuts and the #1 biggest YouTube debut of 2026 - Watch HERE. “SaWaDiKa” also debuted at #69 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking her highest debut on the chart. 

 

LISA returned to the MTV VMA’s to perform the television debut of “SaWaDiKa” - Watch HERE. She also took home the award for Best Pop for “Dream feat. Kenatro Sakaguchi” making history as the first solo K-pop artist to win the category. 

 

Up next, LISA heads to Vegas, kicking off her VIVA LA LISA Residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for six nights in November. The first four nights sold out in under 10 minutes and she recently added two new dates. LISA is making history as the first k-pop artist to perform a Las Vegas residency. 

 

Aside from music, LISA’s feature documentary Always Lalisa directed by Sue Kim recently released in cinemas worldwide following its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. The documentary chronicles LISA’s breakout year going solo around the release of Alter Ego, launching LLOUD and her solo Coachella debut.
