Lisa’s rendition showed the charming city of Paris, which features the K-pop star’s distinct vocal appeal—all good for the festive spirit. Fans are delighted by the Blackpink member’s cover, noting that it is a great tribute to Spears’ holiday treat.

“Lisa’s cover of ‘My Only Wish (This Year)’ is pure magic! Her rendition brings a fresh charm to this Britney Spears classic,” wrote X (formerly Twitter) user @wisdomquotient.

Lisa is the second member to drop a holiday song this season; the first was Jennie, who also surprised the fans with a cover of Sia’s Snowman. Both covers immediately trended on X.

As of this writing, Lisa’s holiday song had received 500,000 views three hours after its release. Jennie’s cover reached 3.2 million views one day after it was uploaded on YouTube.

In early December, all members of the K-pop sensation Blackpink —Rose, Jisoo, Jennie, and Lisa—renewed their contract with YG Entertainment after rumors that the girl group would part ways with them following their contract’s expiration in August.

As of now, as the group comeback awaits, the four girls are currently focusing on their solo endeavors. Lisa is set to perform solo at an esteemed charity event in Paris. Jennie’s latest solo project is the establishment of her personal label company.
