"Shut Down" on YouTube |
"Shut Down" was a commercial success and became Blackpink's second number-one hit on the Billboard Global 200 as well as the first song by a K-pop act to top Spotify's weekly chart. In South Korea, the track topped Billboard's South Korea Songs chart for three weeks and peaked at number three on the Circle Digital Chart. It entered the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 25 and the UK Singles Chart at number 24. The song also topped the charts in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam, and entered the top ten in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, and South Korea. It was later certified platinum in Canada and gold in Australia and Japan.
"Shut Down" received positive reviews from critics, who praised the memorable production and confident lyrics and deemed it a career highlight, while some criticized the classical sample as an overused K-pop technique. An accompanying music video for the song was uploaded onto Blackpink's YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's release. The video references the group's previous videos, mirroring scenes from "Playing with Fire," "Whistle," "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du," "Boombayah," and "Kill This Love." Blackpink promoted "Shut Down" with performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and the South Korean music program Inkigayo, as well as the Born Pink World Tour.
Background
editOn July 31, 2022, a teaser video was uploaded on Blackpink's social media accounts, announcing the release of a new album in September, preceded by the pre-release single "Pink Venom" on August 19.[1] On August 24, YG Entertainment announced that Blackpink was filming the music video for their second album's lead single in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.[2] The label stated that the group was preparing for their world tour and teased their next single: "they are working hard on a schedule to fulfill their promises to their fans … all the songs on the album are the crystals that will write a new story for Blackpink, but the title song in particular will be a song that will surprise world music fans. The music video will also elevate the status of K-Pop with a difference that has never been seen before."[3]
On September 6, 2022, the title poster for the second single, "Shut Down", was released on Blackpink's social media accounts.[4][5] From September 10 to 13, promotional posters of the song featuring each of the members were released.[6] On September 13, a teaser for the music video was released, and the official music video was released on September 16.[7]
Composition
edit"Shut Down" is a hip hop-based track that features strings, an insistent bass sound, a trap beat and a "crazy loop" of classical violin.[8][9][10] It samples the beginning of the third movement of Italian composer Niccolò Paganini's second violin concerto, commonly known as "La Campanella".[11] YG Entertainment described the song's title as "intuitive but strangely tense."[12] Unlike the original piece, which was composed in the key of B minor, "Shut Down" was composed in the key of B-flat minor with a tempo of 110 beats per minute.[13] The song was described as "powerful, rap-focused, and filled with references to [Blackpink's] past works."[14] Lyrically, "Shut Down" shows the members response to the criticism from their haters. Elle's Erica Gonzales wrote that "throughout the track, the girls take turns telling their haters and doubters to take a seat".[15]
Critical reception
edit"Shut Down" was met with positive reviews from critics. Glenn Rowley writing for Billboard called it one of the best songs of 2022, praising its "swagger and savvy", and the melding of classical music and hip-hop as "ingenious."[16] Clash named "Shut Down" a "triumph" and praised the commanding presence of the members on the track, particularly Jisoo’s surprise rap verse.[17] Writing for Cosmopolitan, Aedan Juvet opined that the string-based production "perfectly matches" the shade-throwing lyrics of the song.[18] Benedetta Geddo of The Mary Sue deemed "Shut Down" not just the highlight of the album, but also one of the best songs of Blackpink's entire career.[14] Maddy Myer writing for Teen Vogue hailed the song as an "effective ode to their haters" and "a musical masterpiece" due to its captivating production and pointed lyrics.[19] However, Pitchfork's Alex Ramos criticized the use of a classical sample as a "tried-and-true K-pop technique" that did not break new ground.[20]

The video references previous music videos released by Blackpink.[33][34] In the opening shot of the video, Lisa stands on a deck against a dark sky ("Playing with Fire") before taking the wheel for a group car ride, mirroring a scene from "Whistle" in which Rosé drove. The scene in "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" of Jennie rapping while sitting on a military tank with pink shopping bags is also recreated. Lisa raps sitting among black bags full of pink cash and speakers ("Boombayah"). Jisoo protects herself from raining money with a pink umbrella ("Ddu-Du Ddu-Du"). Just as in "Whistle", Rosé sits on top of the Earth, except the globe in "Shut Down" is black and pink. In another scene, she drives a car alone ("Kill This Love"). In "Playing with Fire", Jennie plays with a match with orange flame in a white bathtub; in "Shut Down", she does the same in an onyx bathtub and with a pink flame. Lisa wields a sword with the word "Blackpink" on it, and Rosé swings on a chandelier ("Ddu-Du Ddu-Du"). Jisoo trips and falls in front of paparazzi filming her every move in "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du," but confidently takes pictures of herself without the glaring eyes of the photographers in "Shut Down". During the chorus, the members dance in an alley lined with posters referencing the titles of their solo and group songs.[35]
Dance performance video
editThe dance performance video was additionally released on September 18, 2022; the video consists of the four members doing the full choreography in matching black outfits, in front of a set decorated with silver shutters, giving a sense of immersion and establishing the concept of the music video. Later, the girls were joined by a series of dancers in gray outfits, The dancers then joined the quartet for the finishing final poses.[36][37]
The performance was choreographed by Kiel Tutin, Taryn Cheng, Lee Jeong (Ri Jeong), and Kyle Hanagami, of the choreography team YGX. The choreographers noted: "We emphasized Blackpink's unique strong hip-hop swag. Also, we maximized the core points of the performance and the colorful charms of the members."[38]
