Here's Why Fans Are Certain Maroon 5 & LISA of BLACKPINK Are Teasing a Collab
Some of Maroon 5 and LISA's recent posts have been making fans wonder: Are the band and BLACKPINK star teasing a collaboration?
Following what appeared to be a couple clues that a team-up was in the works, fans are convinced that LISA and the Adam Levine-fronted group have gotten in the studio together. The first apparent sign came earlier this week, when Maroon 5 posted an Instagram photo taken from behind of the lead singer and a mystery lady standing side by side, staring out of a floor-to-ceiling window at a cityscape.

Off the bat, BLINKs were certain that they recognized the woman's silhouette as belonging to the 'Rockstar' singer, but what sealed the deal in fans' eyes was a video on LISA's Story Thursday (April 24). Paired with an audio snippet of what sounds a lot like Levine's voice singing 'Oooh' over a sunny guitar riff, the clip shows LISA lying back while seemingly filming a video, her hair and jumpsuit matching those of the anonymous woman in the original photo Maroon 5 posted before.
'LISA x MAROON 5 ARE COMING OMG,' one fan wrote on X after the Thai rapper shared the video.
'I know its Lisa … Damn this gonna be fire,' another fan commented on Maroon 5's post, while one person replied, 'If that's Lisa, you already know its gonna be a hit.'
The teaser comes a few weeks after Levine confirmed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that Maroon 5 has a new album — the band's first since 2021's Jordi — coming this summer. Without sharing any concrete details, The Voice coach also revealed, 'There's a single coming at the end of the month-ish.'
But while Maroon 5 gears up for a new album era, LISA is finishing up the rollout of her first-ever solo LP, Alter Ego. Featuring collaborations with Rosalía, Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat and RAYE, and more, the project debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and served as the source material for much of LISA's victorious Coachella sets April 11 and 18.
