After years of anticipation, BLACKPINK’s Jennie and Dua Lipa finally reunite for a collaboration, delivering “Handlebars”—a smooth, mid-tempo track that embraces a groovy, understated charm. Rather than opting for an explosive dance anthem, the song takes a more relaxed approach, relying on its sultry rhythm and effortless vocal chemistry to leave an impression.
“Handlebars” paints a picture of impulsive love—falling headfirst into feelings without hesitation. The lyrics compare this emotional free-fall to losing control on a bike, going “over the handlebars” without stopping to think.
Jennie and Dua Lipa narrate the thrill of recklessly diving into romance, acknowledging its risks but surrendering to the rush. The song’s chorus, with lines like
“I trip and fall in love, just like a Tuesday drunk,”
encapsulates this carefree yet vulnerable mindset, embracing love as an unstoppable force.
The song’s conversational structure, especially in the pre-chorus, makes it feel like an intimate confession between two people caught in the moment. The outro’s repeated “We ain’t gotta talk about it” suggests a deliberate avoidance of reality—embracing the thrill of the fall rather than questioning where it leads.
Musically, “Handlebars” thrives on a laidback disco groove, driven by deep basslines and subtle synth flourishes. Instead of an explosive beat drop or dramatic climax, the song flows with a steady, hypnotic rhythm, giving it an effortless charm.
The warm, mid-tempo pacing makes it feel like a comedown track—something to sway to after the party winds down. Both Jennie and Dua Lipa’s vocals add to the track’s sensual, relaxed atmosphere, blending seamlessly without overpowering the production.
“Handlebars” may not be the explosive, club-ready hit some listeners expected, but its strength lies in its understated confidence. The track exudes a quiet allure, proving that both artists can shine even in a more restrained setting.
While some might see it as a b-side rather than a standout single, its warm groove and effortless execution make it a track that you want to listen again anytime. Jennie and Dua Lipa don’t force the moment—they let it flow naturally, and that’s where the magic happens.
The song also comes with the music video, you can watch it on Youtube.
[Chorus: JENNIE]
I trip and fall in love
Just like a Tuesday drunk
I always go all in, all in, all in
Over the handlebars
Hitting the ground so hard
If I’m alone, fallin’, fallin’, fallin’
We ain’t gotta talk about it
[Verse 1: JENNIE, Dua Lipa]
Mercy
Why is it love is never kind to me? (Me)
I heard that fools rush in and, yeah, that’s me (Me)
It burns me time and time again
So why am I still fixing for this frying pan (Thinkin’)
[Pre-Chorus: Dua Lipa, JENNIE & Both]
I wonder what you’re doing for tonight and forever (Oh-oh)
I could be the rest of your life or whatever
My lips and your lips, we could press them together (Together, ‘gether)
I don’t ever think twice, and, baby, that’s why
[Chorus: JENNIE & Dua Lipa]
I trip and fall in love
Just like a Tuesday drunk
I always go all in, all in, all in
Over the handlebars
Hitting the ground so hard
If I’m alone, fallin’, fallin’, fallin’
[Verse 2: Dua Lipa]
Another round, another drink
I try to stop, but I can’t think
About anything else but you (But you)
And I’m a little too buzzed on your love to play it cute
A single kiss, I lost my mind for seven days and seven nights
Can’t eat, sleep, baby, it’s true (It’s true)
Tryna bite my lip, I’m probably gonna slip
And say some crazy shit to you
[Pre-Chorus: JENNIE & Dua Lipa]
I wonder what you’re doing for tonight and forever (Oh-oh)
I don’t ever think twice, and, baby, that’s why
[Chorus: JENNIE & Dua Lipa, Dua Lipa]
I trip and fall in love
Just like a Tuesday drunk
I always go all in, all in, all in
Over the handlebars
Hitting the ground so hard
If I’m alone, fallin’, fallin’, fallin’ (Fallin’, yeah)
[Outro: Dua Lipa & JENNIE]
We ain’t gotta talk about
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (Yeah)
We ain’t gotta talk about
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
We ain’t gotta talk about it
