JAKARTA - One of the most flashy collaborations in the K-Pop universe came from Zico and Jennie BLACKPINK. Their song titled 'Spot!' achieved a positive response with a high number of streams.

Regarding his collaboration, Zico has his own approach. He realized the importance of making songs that matched his partner.

"When I thought 'I wanted to collaborate with Jennie, I created a song specifically for her," Zico said.

Even Zico revealed that he had prepared five versions of the song with Jennie. This makes him confident that he will be able to attract the attention of the rapper/vocalist BLACKPINK.

"Every version is adapted to Jennie. Then I narrowed it down to two versions, and played the two songs to her. If there was only one option maybe she wouldn't be so interested," he explained.

As the first collaboration, Zico tries to understand Jennie's creative style and process. This different way of working can be easily overcome by the musician and great producer.

"Jennie tends to want to give her own interpretation of the song. Therefore, instead of giving her a choice, I let her take the recording and I'll say which part is my favorite," said Zico.
