World-renowned rapper, singer, dancer, and style icon, LISA, announces that her highly anticipated debut solo album, Alter Ego, will be released on February 28, 2025, via LLOUD Co./RCA Records. LISA first began teasing the album last week with a series of social media posts hinting at the album title, while also touring Asia for her five-city sold-out limited run of fan meet dates. In her official Alter Ego announcement video, LISA embodies five characters, each representing a unique personality. These characters are symbolized by the five points of a star, which has become a key emblem in the campaign. The announcement of LISA’s debut solo album comes at the tail end of a record-breaking year, filled with exciting new solo music and high-energy performances.

The album announcement follows an exciting week for LISA, who recently made headlines as the first-ever global cover star for Billboard. She graced the cover of the magazine for ten editions, including Billboard US, Billboard Arabia, Billboard Brazil, Billboard Canada, Billboard Espanol, Billboard Italia, Billboard Japan, Billboard Korea, and Billboard Philippines. The magazine declared, “LISA has star power in spades” and heralded her as “one of pop’s most exciting stars.”
LISA’s most recent single from the forthcoming album, “Moonlit Floor,” showcases both her ethereal vocals and immense talent as a rapper, while interpolating the 90s hit classic, “Kiss Me,” by Sixpence None the Richer. Listen to “Moonlit Floor” HERE. LISA also saw success with her preceding singles “New Woman,” featuring GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter Rosalía, and “Rockstar,” which quickly climbed the charts following its release. “Rockstar” debuted at #1 on the Billboard Global Ex. US Chart, #4 on the Billboard Global 200 weekly, and #8 on Spotify’s Global Daily Chart, charting in over 20 markets worldwide. The single also held the #1 spot in Thailand on Spotify, LISA’s home country, for 10 consecutive days and now has nearly 427 million streams. The official music video for “Rockstar,” directed by Henry Scholfield and choreographed by Sean Bankhead, amassed over 265 million views to date and hit #1 on YouTube’s global weekly chart after release.
Along with the release of the three singles, which all appear on Alter Ego, LISA delivered electrifying performances at the Global Citizen Festival in NYC and the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. LISA also returned to the VMA stage in September, where she performed a medley of “New Woman” and “Rockstar”. She took home the moonperson for Best K-Pop for her single “Rockstar” that night and broke a new record as the first solo act to win in that category multiple times. Additionally, LISA won two awards earlier this month at the MTV EMAs: Best Collaboration for her hit song “New Woman” feat. Rosalía and Biggest Fans.
