I'm confident that this is the best team to help me make even bigger moves in my solo career, and I can't wait to show the world all that we've been working on." "We are extremely proud to partner with Lisa and The Loud Company," said RCA Records Chairman and CEO Peter Edge and COO John Fleckenstein. "Lisa is an undeniable global star with a multi-dimensional talent. We are thrilled to welcome her and The Loud Company to the RCA Records family." By partnering with RCA Records, Lisa joins the ranks of some of the world's greatest artists, including A$AP Rocky, Becky G, Doja Cat, Foo Fighters, Justin Timberlake, KAYTRANADA, Latto, Mark Ronson, P!NK, Steve Lacy, SZA, Tems, Tate McRae, Victoria Monet, WizKid and many more. As part of the label, Lisa will continue to expand her global reach. Lisa has been an active member of Blackpink, whose music has resonated around the world.

In 2021, she became the first female artist to sell approximately 750,000 copies of "Lalisa" in the first week of its release in Korea, while "Lalisa" and "Money" reached the top 10 on the U.S. Billboard Global 200 chart.
