About this song
"Shut Down" is the title track from BLACKPINK's 2022 sophomore album, BORN PINK. It opens with a sample of Paganini's 1826 violin melody "La Campanella." The music video shows the group moving on from the past and starting a new era.
What it's about
The song is a response to the hateful comments the group received during their hiatus, much like their 2020 B-side "Pretty Savage." It argues that no matter how long they are away, they will always be the center of attention when they return.
