The news, revealed on February 24, 2025, through the Academy’s official social media platforms, has generated immense anticipation among music and film enthusiasts alike.

With a post that read, “Three global superstars. One epic Oscars moment. Doja Cat, LISA of BLACKPINK, and RAYE take the stage for a show-stopping celebration of cinema," the Academy teased what is expected to be one of the most talked-about performances of the night. Moreover, this will be the first-ever performance by a K-pop artist at the Oscars.


This year’s Oscar ceremony is scheduled to take place on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

The track, accompanied by a visually stunning music video, marked Lisa’s first release of the year and was met with widespread praise.
