Global superstar LISA, renowned for her exceptional multi-talent as a rapper, singer, dancer, and style icon, has just announced that her first solo album, entitled Alter Ego, is due to release on February 28, 2025. A truly huge moment of her already dazzlingly bright career, the entire world is practically counting down the days with much anticipation.
LISA has been teasing Alter Ego, which she revealed last week in a series of intriguing, cryptic social media posts about the title and concept of the album. This followed her sold-out five-city Asia fan meet tour, where all fans were left awestruck with her charisma and artistry.
The announcement video for Alter Ego made sure to front a daringly new vision. LISA played the roles of five different characters that vividly represented the different sides of her personality. Each of these personas corresponds to one of the five-pointed star-a constant emblem within the promotional campaign of the album. This suggests a deeply personal and multi-faceted identity exploration, setting up what could be a game-changing record.
Alter Ego marks a historic year for LISA, who has taken over international headlines and stages. Recently, she became the first-ever global cover star for Billboard, appearing on ten international editions including Billboard US, Billboard Korea, and Billboard Japan. The magazine hailed her as “one of pop’s most exciting stars” with “star power in spades.
Earlier in the same week, LISA graced the cover of Vanity Fair‘s prestigious Hollywood Issue, a nod to her forthcoming acting debut in season three of HBO’s critically acclaimed The White Lotus.

- “New Woman” (feat. Rosalía) – A powerful anthem celebrating empowerment and individuality, featuring GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter Rosalía. The track’s intoxicating rhythm and fiery performances earned it the MTV EMA for Best Collaboration.

The high-octane music video of the track directed by Henry Scholfield and choreographed by Sean Bankhead reached over 265 million views and topped YouTube’s global weekly chart.
Showstopping Performances and Awards
In addition to her chart success, LISA delivered electrifying performances at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City and the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. She returned once again to the VMAs stage and performed an electric medley of “New Woman” and “Rockstar.” That night, she took home the Moonperson for Best K-Pop, becoming the first solo artist to win the award multiple times.
At this month’s MTV EMAs, LISA claimed another two awards: Best Collaboration for “New Woman,” and Biggest Fans, proof that her fans worldwide are as dedicated as ever.
