The Story Behind Like Jennie
Jennie released Like Jennie as the fourth single from her album Ruby on March 7. In an interview with Elle Korea, she gave fans insight into the song’s deeper meaning.
She explained, “In Like Jennie, ‘Jennie’ is just a pronoun. I made this song to convey the message that anyone who names themselves can love themselves and shine in their own way, and it was only used because my name is ‘Jennie.’”
Jennie described the song as more than just a hit—she sees it as a message of self-love and healing, hoping that others who sing it will feel the same empowerment.
Jennie’s solo journey continues to inspire millions, and with records still being broken, Like Jennie has proven itself to be more than a song—it’s a movement.
