ROSE to Drop New Solo Single "new trick" on September 18, 2026
On September 18, 2026, at 7:00 a.m. Philippine time, New Zealand‑born BLACKPINK member ROSÉ will unveil her next solo single, “new trick.” The pop‑rock track will debut on streaming services and digital stores the same day as a music video that has been shot entirely on Apple’s newly unveiled iPhone 18 Pro.
The announcement arrived via a concise teaser reel posted on ROSÉ’s Instagram on September 10, 2026. In the clip, the singer holds a lollipop against a burgundy wrapper that reads “new trick” and “shot on iPhone 18 Pro.” A guitar‑driven snippet of the song plays in the background, punctuated by the lyric “Lovesick, I’ll pick my heart off the floor / New trick, watch this, watch this, ahh!” The teaser was shared from the artist’s official account, with no independent verification beyond the platform.
According to Billboard Philippines, the single will launch across major streaming services and digital stores on the same day as the video. The clip, directed by Dave Meyers—who previously collaborated with BLACKPINK on the official video for “JUMP”—will showcase the iPhone 18 Pro’s camera capabilities, a feature highlighted by Apple during its September 9 2026 product launch. Apple and ROSÉ have partnered for the “Shot on iPhone” campaign, a collaboration that began with the iPhone 18 Pro unveiling.
“new trick” marks a tonal shift from ROSÉ’s earlier solo releases. In a Vogue interview, the singer described the track as “so not sad,” signalling a brighter, more playful sound. The change aligns with her 2024 studio album rosie and her recent collaborations, including “On My Mind” with Alex Warren and the 2024 hit “APT.” with Bruno Mars, which topped the Billboard Philippines Hot 100.
The release follows the 2026 solo singles of the other BLACKPINK members: JENNIE’s “FALLEN ANGEL,” LISA’s “SaWaDiKa,” and JISOO’s “CLICK.” Together, these singles complete the group’s full lineup of solo projects for the year. The members also reunited on August 8, 2026, for a special event celebrating the group’s 10th‑anniversary debut.
ROSÉ debuted as a solo artist in 2021 with the single album R, which sold 448,089 copies in its first week. Her debut studio album rosie was released in December 2024 under The Black Label and Atlantic Records. Since then, she has maintained a steady presence on international charts and streaming platforms.
Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro, unveiled on September 9, 2026, features a 48‑megapixel main camera with variable aperture and a new A20 Pro chip. The device’s launch was part of Apple’s broader strategy to showcase the capabilities of its latest hardware through high‑profile collaborations. The partnership with ROSÉ is the first major music‑industry tie‑in for the new phone.
Industry observers note that the release timing—just a week after Apple’s product launch—positions “new trick” to benefit from the heightened media attention surrounding the iPhone 18 Pro. The single’s distribution on major streaming services, combined with the visual showcase of the phone’s camera, could influence consumer perception of the device’s creative potential.
As of now, no chart performance data or streaming numbers are available for “new trick.” The single’s impact will be measured once it enters the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 and other international charts. Fans and industry analysts will also watch how the Apple partnership affects both the artist’s reach and the phone’s market reception.
In summary, ROSÉ’s upcoming single “new trick” will launch on September 18, 2026, accompanied by a video shot on the iPhone 18 Pro. The release completes BLACKPINK’s solo output for the year and represents a strategic collaboration between the artist and Apple’s latest smartphone. The single’s performance will be tracked in the coming weeks, with particular attention to streaming trends, chart positions, and the influence of the Apple partnership on consumer engagement.
