BLACKPINK's Jisoo has made her highly-anticipated solo return with her mini-album AMORTAGE, released on February 14, 2025. The album features four tracks, with the lead single 'Earthquake' quickly gaining attention for its unique vibe and accompanying music video. In the video, Jisoo portrays an office worker who, despite her dull workday, finds excitement through the unexpected presence of her lover.
Unlike her debut solo single, 'Flower,' which leaned more into romantic elegance, 'Earthquake' carries a much stronger, more powerful energy. Jisoo receives a text message from her lover, asking, 'How is your day going?' She begins to respond but is suddenly interrupted as a mysterious figure snatches her phone and places it in an evidence packet, hinting at her lover's potential involvement in something shady.
Suddenly, the ordinary office setting transforms, and Jisoo finds herself strapped to a lie detector, answering questions about her true feelings for her lover. When asked about her emotions, she passionately replies, 'he hits me like an earthquake,' describing how he makes her 'heart race.' Just as the intensity peaks, a car crashes into the room, allowing her to reclaim her phone and respond to her lover's message. The scene ends with a twist—everything we've seen was a figment of Jisoo's imagination, a brief fantasy that gives her an exhilarating break from her routine office life.
Musically, 'Earthquake' impresses with its groovy beats, Jisoo's powerful vocals, and a catchy, addictive chorus. The track has a similar feel to her 2023 hit, 'Flower,' but brings something fresh and unique, making 'Earthquake' a standout moment in Jisoo's solo journey. The music video is now available to watch online.
