The song was also included on the 2024 deluxe version of the Weeknd's greatest hits album The Highlights (2021).
"One of the Girls" is a synth-driven R&B track featuring a blend of subtle synths, deep bass, and trap-inspired elements. It was written by the Weeknd, Lily-Rose Depp, Ramsey, Sam Levinson, and producer Mike Dean. The song relates to the storyline of The Idol and addresses themes of control, fame, desire, and Stockholm syndrome. It received a mixed reception from critics, who praised the vocals, seductive feel, and production, but criticized the explicit lyrics.
"One of the Girls" saw a surge in popularity after going viral on video sharing platform TikTok. It peaked at number ten on the Billboard Global 200, becoming the Weeknd's 11th, Jennie's second, and Depp's first top-ten hit respectively. The song reached number one in Malaysia and the top ten in Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Latvia, Lithuania, MENA, Singapore, UAE, and Vietnam. In the United States, it became the highest-charting song by a female K-pop soloist on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 51, and the first to be certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It ranked as the seventh most-streamed song of the year as of July with 860 million streams worldwide according to Luminate.
Background and release
In 2023, Abel Tesfaye, known as the Weeknd, starred in and co-created a drama series for HBO entitled The Idol, which also starred actress Lily-Rose Depp and singer Jennie of South Korean girl group Blackpink.[1] Tesfaye initially announced a soundtrack album would accompany the show entitled The Idol, Vol. 1, which was later repurposed into individual EPs of music from each episode.[2] A collaboration between the Weeknd and Jennie for the soundtrack was first teased on May 10 at a launch party for Jennie's Calvin Klein capsule collection. At the event, Jennie and DJ duo Simi and Haze Khadra played a snippet of the unreleased track, dubbing it a "special song". Jennie also reposted an Instagram story by Dazed Korea recording her playing the snippet and added tags for The Idol and the Weeknd. Similarly, the Khadra sisters reshared clips of the song on their Instagram, tagging Jennie, the Weeknd and The Idol.[3]
The collaboration was confirmed by Tesfaye on June 20 in a post responding to a troll on Twitter, in which he stated, "dropping that Jennie song this weekend for you! Get the bucket ready".[4] On June 21, he officially announced the fourth EP of music from the show, The Idol Episode 4 (Music from the HBO Original Series), would be released the following night. In the announcement, he revealed the EP's cover art and track listing, which confirmed the song's title as "One of the Girls" and its performers as the Weeknd, Jennie, and Lily-Rose Depp.[5] The track marks Jennie's first solo music release since "Solo" (2018) and Depp's second song for The Idol after "World Class Sinner / I'm a Freak". It was released on June 23, 2023, for digital download and streaming, alongside the rest of the EP.[6] The producer of the track, Mike Dean, posted a video of him mixing the radio version for the track on November 7.[7] It was officially released as a single on December 8 alongside sped up, slowed, instrumental, and a capella versions of the song.[8] The song was sent to US rhythmic contemporary radio on December 12, and was released as a 7-inch vinyl on June 14, 2024.[9][10] It was also included on the deluxe edition of the Weeknd's greatest hits album The Highlights, which was released on February 9, 2024.[11]
"One of the Girls" was written by its producer Mike Dean alongside Abel Tesfaye, Lily-Rose Depp, Ramsey, and Sam Levinson.[12] It is described as a "down-tempo" and R&B track,[13] built around "synthy, serpentine beat".[14] The song has a "seductive feel," featuring subtle synths, bass, and a trap style that complements the lyrics.[15] Lyrically, it deals with "emotionally harrowing" themes of "control, fame, desire and Stockholm syndrome."[16] It ties into the plot of The Idol, which depicts the intimate relationship between the pop star Jocelyn (portrayed by Depp) and the cult leader Tedros (portrayed by Tesfaye).[17] Jennie lends her voice to the song's introduction and bridge, including the lyrics "Lock me up and throw away the key / He knows how to get the best out of me."[18] Tesfaye and Depp trade verses for the remainder of the song about BDSM and choking.[19] Depp says, "Hands on my neck while you push it up," while Tesfaye sings, "Force me and choke me ‘til I pass out."[16] In the chorus, Depp explains that she wants to be "one of your girls tonight."[18]
Critical reception
The song was met with mixed reviews from music critics. Filmfare praised the production and vocals of "One of the Girls", stating that the song has a "seductive feel with subtle synths, powerful bass, and an impressive trap style that complements the lyrics." Additionally, they opined that the Weeknd's signature voice "compliments Jennie's breathy vocals and Lily-Rose Depp's rich and lovely voice."[15] Steffanee Wang of Nylon described the beat as "decadently plush" and noted that the explicit lyrics work better in the context of music rather than in the show. On the vocals, she found that "the different tones of their voices weave harmoniously like a braid" and in particular praised Jennie for highlighting her voice in a different context with her first foray into R&B, saying the song is "the most sensual, desperate, and emotive she’s ever sounded."[14] However, Zoe Guy of Vulture criticized the song's "eyebrow-scratching lyrics", arguing that it "manages to commit the carnal sin of making sex boring."[18] Writing for Pitchfork, Julianne Escobedo Shepherd felt that for a first-time singer Lily-Rose Depp's "light rasp is believable" and agreed that the song "can’t be saved even by Blackpink's Jennie."[20]
Commercial performance
"One of the Girls" gradually emerged as one of the best-performing tracks from The Idol's soundtrack. In the United States, the song debuted at number 14 on the Hot R&B Songs chart dated July 8, 2023, with 2.5 million streams and 1,000 downloads sold in its opening week. It also debuted at number 11 on R&B Digital Song Sales and number 19 on R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales. With this, Lily-Rose Depp scored her first appearance on any Billboard chart.[21] The song later doubled in streams over a period of six weeks, growing from 1.9 million streams for the week ending November 2 to 4.1 million for the week ending December 7. On December 16, it debuted at number 17 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100, rising to top the chart the following week. Billboard attributed the song's growth to its virality on video sharing platform TikTok, mainly from Blinks' support for Jennie's parts of the song, with fans praising her "enchanting vocals".[22] On the chart dated December 30, "One of the Girls" debuted at number 100 on the Billboard Hot 100 with 6 million streams and 1.5 million radio audience impressions, marking Depp's first entry on the chart and Jennie's first entry as a solo artist.[23][24] On January 13, 2024, "One of the Girls" ascended to number 69 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Jennie break the record previously held by her bandmate Rosé's "On the Ground" (2021) for the highest-charting song by a female K-pop solo artist.[25] Jennie extended her record as the song rose positions in subsequent weeks, and became the first female K-pop solo artist in history to chart a song for seven consecutive weeks on the Hot 100.[26][27] The song peaked at number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 17 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs on March 9, and number four on Hot R&B Songs on April 20.[28][29] It also peaked at number 8 on Rhythmic Airplay on March 23, and number 18 on Pop Airplay on April 27.[30][31] In May, the song spent its twentieth week on the Billboard Hot 100, making Jennie the first Korean female soloist to have a song on the chart for 20 weeks. She joined Psy as the only two Korean soloists to achieve this feat, after his song "Gangnam Style" (2012).[32] The song surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify and made Jennie the first Korean female solo artist to receive a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[33]
On the Billboard Global 200 chart dated January 20, 2024, "One of the Girls" rose from number 15 to 10, entering the top ten for the first time with 40.6 million streams worldwide (up 11%). With this, the Weeknd achieved his 11th top-ten hit, Jennie her second, and Depp her first on the chart. On the Billboard Global Excl. US, the song rose from number 12 to 7 the same week with 33.6 million streams outside the US (up 10%). This marked the Weeknd's ninth, Jennie's second, and Depp's first top-ten hit on the chart respectively.[34] After three further weeks in the top ten, the song rose from number seven to a new peak at number five on the Global Excl. US chart dated February 10, with 38.6 million streams outside the US (up 2%).[35] On February 17, the song remained charting at number six on the Global Excl. US for an 18th consecutive week, as well as number 11 on the Global 200.[27] On Luminate's 2024 midyear music report, "One of the Girls" ranked as the seventh most-streamed song of the year worldwide by overall on-demand audio streaming volume, achieving 860 million streams between January 1 and July 1, 2024.[36] In the United Kingdom, it peaked at number 21 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the highest-charting solo song by a Blackpink member.[37][38] The song remained on the chart for a total of 17 weeks.[39] It earned 430,000 UK chart units as of October 2024, the most for any Blackpink member's solo single.[40]
