"Love Hangover" es una oda a esas relaciones adictivas y destructivas que, a pesar de su naturaleza, nos mantienen atrapados en un ciclo de amor y arrepentimiento. La canción combina la dulce y potente voz de Jennie con el estilo más crudo y confesional de Dominic Fike, creando una atmósfera que oscila entre el pop y el R&B. El tema se inspira en el clásico de Diana Ross con el mismo título, pero con una narrativa moderna y personal.
El video musical, dirigido por Bradley & Pablo y filmado en la vibrante ciudad de México, añade una capa visual a esta narrativa. En él, Jennie y Charles Melton, conocido por su papel en "Riverdale", viven una serie de desventuras cómicas en sus citas, simbolizando el caos que puede ser una relación tóxica. Todo comienza y termina en un funeral donde Melton da un elogio a Jennie, añadiendo un toque de humor negro al concepto de "amor adictivo".
La colaboración ha generado un significativo revuelo en redes como X, donde los fans han mostrado tanto entusiasmo como curiosidad por esta fusión inesperada. Sin embargo, se ha señalado que el video musical está etiquetado como contenido para mayores de 18, lo cual ha influido en su rendimiento en ciertas plataformas de música coreanas, como Music Core e Inkigayo, donde no se contabilizarán las vistas del video ni su puntuación en redes sociales.
I'm over, I'm so over
This love hangover (yeah, go)
Fight me, fight me, fight me
You made me so unlike me
I don't wanna talk, come behind me
Know you ain't the one, but you might be
Who sent you? Who sent you? Who sent you?
Who sent you 'round again? (Who sent you 'round?)
I'm so, l'm so shady
I don't really mind when you play me
Wanna switch it up, go crazy
I ain't gonna leave till you hate me
Who sent you? Who sent you? Who sent you?
Who sent you 'round? (Who sent you 'round?)
We say it's over (uh)
But I keep fucking with you (yeah)
And every time I do, I wake up with this love hangover (love hangover)
You got me pourin' for two
I swore l'd never do it again
Until you came over (uh)
I started lying with you (yeah)
And every time I do, I wake up with this love hangover, ah-oh
I swear I'll never do it again
Ah, shit, I did it again
(Call me back, call me back, call me back) oh-oh-oh
But you know l'm gonna do it again (oh, shit, oh, shit)
(Call me back, call me back, call me back)
Yeah, you know I'm gonna do it again
I had woke up in a daze, my sweat was cold, my lip was cracked
I can't leave this bitch, I had to single, double, triple back
She gon' leave me, but she wants to keep me on, what's up with that?
I don't even really got time for all that shit right now, l'm a baby father
And all them jokes she told at dinner last night ain't had me dead, I was playing possum
And when the waiter brought the check, she said: Let's head to mine, I said: Okay, awesome
One minute, we're growin' apart and, next, I'm in her apartment
Just watchin' her get naked and not thinkin' with my heart
I ain't even really got time for all that shit right now, but if she wanted it right now
Then I could meet you there right now (now, now, now, now)
Even though you barely even drink (uh-huh), we hardly even spoke (uh-huh)
But I know when I wake up that I'm still gon' feel that hangover, babe
We say it's over (uh)
But I keep fucking with you (yeah)
And every time I do, I wake up with this love hangover (love hangover) (uh-huh)
You got me pourin' for two (uh-huh)
I swore l'd never do it again
Until you came over (uh)
I started lying with you (yeah)
And every time I do, I wake up with this love hangover, ah-oh
I swear I'll never do it again
Ah, shit, I did it again
(Call me back, call me back, call me back) oh-oh-oh
But you know l'm gonna do it again (oh, shit)
(Call me back, call me back, uh-huh, call me back) uh-huh, uh-huh
(Thought you'd never do it again) yeah, you know I'm gonna do it again
Back, back, ba-ba-back (call me back, call me back, call me back, uh-huh)
Back, back, ba-ba-back (ah, shit, ah, shit, ayy)
Back, back, ba-ba-back (call me back, call me back, call me back)
Back, back, ba-ba-back (ah, shit, ah, shit, ayy)
Back, back, ba-ba-back (single, double, triple back, uh-huh)
Back, back, ba-ba-back (single, double, triple back, right now, right now, yeah)
Ah, shit, ah, shit (single, double, triple back)
Back, back, ba-ba-back (don't know what l'm saying at this point)
"Love Hangover" no solo es un éxito anticipado por la unión de dos talentos tan distintos como Jennie y Dominic Fike, sino también por su capacidad de capturar una experiencia emocional universal a través de su música y su video. Con "Ruby" a la vuelta de la esquina, esta canción establece el tono para lo que promete ser un álbum memorable en la carrera en solitario de Jennie.
