Lisa’s “Rockstar” is a multi-faceted anthem that showcases her evolution as an artist while staying true to her roots. The lyrics blend her belief in her global success with personal touches that reflect her journey, from referencing her Thai heritage through mentions of BKK (Bangkok) to demonstrating her multilingual skills and high fashion ties with Louis Vuitton . While on the surface the song appears to be a simple celebration of celebrity status, it’s deeply personal with clever callbacks to her solo debut “Lalisa,” her BLACKPINK identity (with the “catch and kill” reference to “Kill This Love”) , and his current status as a global superstar. Through these self-referential lyrics, Lisa creates a powerful statement about embracing her rock star persona while remaining connected to the elements that have shaped her career.
[Chorus]
Gold teeth on the dashboard, she’s a rockstar
Make your favorite singer wanna rap, baby, la, la
“Lisa, can you teach me Japanese?” I said, “Yes, yes”
This is my life, life, baby, I’m a rock star
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been on a mission, boy, they call me catch and kill.
I’m stealing diamonds, getting chased for the thrill
I’ve been MIA, BKK is so cute
Every city I go to is my city
[Chorus]
Gold teeth on the dashboard, she’s a rock star
Make your favorite singer wanna rap, baby, la, la
“Lisa, can you teach me Japanese?” I said, “Yes, yes”
This is my life, life, baby, I’m a rock star
[Post-Chorus]
I’m a rock star, I’m a rock star
It’s not a commercial, a commercial, darling, that makes you rock hard
[Verse]
Make a wish, darling, what do you want to do?
Diving into big cities like a ponzu
It’s a fast life, it’s an attitude
Put it on the calendar and tell me when to stop by
Yes, yes, I can spend it
Yes, yes, don’t pretend
Tight dress, LV sent it to me
Oh shit, Lisa replies
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been on a mission, boy, they call me catch and kill.
I’m stealing diamonds, getting chased for the thrill
I’ve been MIA, BKK is so cute
Every city I go to is my city
[Chorus]
Gold teeth on the dashboard, she’s a rockstar
Make your favorite singer wanna rap, baby, la, la
“Lisa, can you teach me Japanese?” I said, “Yes, yes”
This is my life, life, baby, I’m a rock star
Gold teeth on the dashboard, she’s a rockstar
Make your favorite singer wanna rap, baby, la, la
“Lisa, can you teach me Japanese?” I said, “Yes, yes”
This is my life, life, baby, I’m a rock star
[Post-Chorus]
I’m a rock star, I’m a rock star
It’s not a commercial, a commercial, darling, that makes you rock hard
I’m a rock star, I’m a rock star
It’s not a commercial, a commercial, darling, that makes you rock hard
[Outro]
Ooh, and the music goes
Ooh, and the girls are posing
Ooh, doesn’t that put you in a good mood?
It’s not a commercial, a commercial, honey, I’m a rock star
