Could Lisa’s ‘SaWaDiKa’ Be Another ‘Lalisa’? BLACKPINK Star’s Unreleased Song Sparks Wild Fan Predictions [WATCH]

BLACKPINK’s Lisa is yet to release her new solo track “SaWaDiKa”, but fans have already started imagining exactly what the song might sound like. The upcoming single has sparked plenty of online discussion, with some listeners joking that the track could bring back elements of Lisa’s previous solo music.

“SaWaDiKa” will serve as the first release from Lisa’s upcoming EP Press Play, which is scheduled for October. While details about the song remain limited, its title has immediately attracted attention because of its connection to Lisa’s Thai heritage.

The title “SaWaDiKa” is derived from “sawatdee ka”, a traditional Thai greeting meaning “hello”. Lisa’s company LLOUD has presented the release as a tribute to her home country, with promotional material also featuring a tuk-tuk, another recognizable reference to Thailand.

The decision to center the new era around Lisa’s Thai identity has been welcomed by many fans. However, it has also triggered criticism online, with some users questioning whether the release is strategically timed.

Some social media users have speculated that Lisa could be hoping to strengthen her chances of recognition in the Recording Academy’s newly introduced Best Asian Pop Music Performance category. However, there has been no confirmation from Lisa or her team that Grammy consideration played any role in the concept behind “SaWaDiKa”.

Fans Already Predicting Another ‘Lalisa’

While the Grammy speculation continues, a separate conversation has taken over parts of social media and that’s: what exactly will Lisa sing?

With virtually no details about the track’s lyrics or sound publicly available, fans have begun jokingly writing their own versions of the song. One of the most repeated predictions is that Lisa could once again repeat or spell out her own name, much like she did in her 2021 solo debut “Lalisa.”

The theory is not based on any confirmed information about “SaWaDiKa”. Instead, it appears to be a playful reference to patterns fans associate with Lisa’s solo releases.

Others have gone further, predicting that the song could once again focus on themes such as confidence, fame, wealth and success. Those subjects have featured prominently in discussions surrounding Lisa’s solo work, leading some fans to wonder whether her next release will follow a similar formula.

‘GOALS’ Gets Pulled Back Into the Conversation

The speculation has also revived discussion surrounding Lisa’s recent collaboration “GOALS”, featuring Anitta and Rema. Released in connection with the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the song received mixed reactions from listeners, with some criticizing its emphasis on glamour, wealth and personal success.

That history has fueled jokes about what “SaWaDiKa” might bring. Some fans are essentially asking whether Lisa’s next solo release will continue the themes they have come to associate with her music.

Still, it is important to separate fan predictions from what is actually known about the upcoming song. Lisa has not confirmed that “SaWaDiKa” will contain another “Lalisa”-style chorus, nor has she revealed its complete concept or lyrics.

When Will ‘SaWaDiKa’ Be Released?

“SaWaDiKa” is currently scheduled for a worldwide release on Sept. 3, ahead of Press Play on Oct. 23. The six-track EP will follow Lisa’s debut solo album, Alter Ego, which arrived in February 2025.

For now, the mystery surrounding “SaWaDiKa” is arguably part of the fun. Lisa has given fans a clear glimpse of the song’s Thai inspiration, but almost everything else remains under wraps.

Whether the finished track actually sounds anything like the predictions circulating online, including the possibility of another “Lalisa” moment, will only become clear once Lisa finally presses play.
