Lisa (BLACKPINK) “Rapunzel” Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hair down, feeling like Rapunzel
Keep your doggies in the motherfucking muzzle
Only one queen in the jungle
Ayy, only one queen, only one
I don't window-shop, I big-spend
If I got a message, I click 'Send'
You can't lie to me, I got a sixth sense
Fill my energy with some Himalayan incense
[Pre-Chorus]
Livin' lavish while we still young
Spendin' that shit till we go dumb
Flashin' them gold teeth all damn day
When I walk by I hear them say
[Chorus]
"That's money, that's motherfuckin' money"
Bitch, tell me how you love me
Bitch, tell me how
Yeah, yеah, yeah
"That's money, that's motherfuckin' monеy"
Bitch, tell me how you love me
Bitch, tell me how
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Hair down, feeling like Rapunzel
Hair down, feeling, hair down
Hair down, feeling like Rapunzel
Hair down, feeling, hair down
[Verse 2]
Need some me time, gotta meditate
Level up, level up, bitch, I levitate
In my pocket I got somethin' you will never make
But I'm generous, maybe you can have a taste
Anyway, gotta go, 'cause I'm runnin' late
Everyday make a bag, but you gotta hate
I would too
But this is my life, baby, I ain't you
[Pre-Chorus]
Livin' lavish while we still young
Spendin' that shit till we go dumb
Flashin' them gold teeth all damn day
When I walk by I hear them say
[Chorus]
"That's money, that's motherfuckin' money"
Bitch, tell me how you love me
Bitch, tell me how
Yeah, yeah, yeah
"That's money, that's motherfuckin' money"
Bitch, tell me how you love me
Bitch, tell me how
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Hair down, feeling like Rapunzel
Hair down, feeling, hair down
Hair down, feeling like Rapunzel
Hair down, feeling, hair down
Hair down, feeling like Rapunzel
Hair down, feeling, hair down
Hair down, feeling like Rapunzel
Hair down, feeling, hair down
[Outro]
Hair down, feeling like Rapunzel
Lisa (BLACKPINK) “Rapunzel” Meaning
On April 22, LLOUD surprised fans with the official release of the “Rapunzel” live performance on YouTube. “Rapunzel” is fun—undeniably and unapologetically so. Lisa and Megan bounce off each other with ease, rapping about wealth, power, confidence, and “real hot girl shit,” delivering lines that ooze self-assurance and feminine dominance. It’s playful without being shallow, bold without being brash, and self-aware in its pop bravado. While the lyrics aren’t aiming for philosophical depth, they succeed in building an image of two women fully in control of their image, career, and narrative. Lines about expensive lifestyles, long hair, and untouchability are woven into the beat with clever punch and swagger. The chemistry between Lisa and Megan feels natural and earned, elevating the song far above a simple cross-genre feature.
Thematically, “Rapunzel” reimagines the titular fairy tale figure—best known from the Brothers Grimm and Disney adaptations—as a symbol of independence rather than isolation. While the original Rapunzel was confined in a tower awaiting rescue, Lisa flips the narrative: her long hair is no longer a passive symbol, but a weapon of allure, confidence, and power. In the song, Rapunzel becomes a metaphor for feminine self-determination—a woman who lives lavishly on her own terms, untouched by criticism and immune to external judgment. Lisa compares herself to this new-age Rapunzel, not trapped or waiting, but thriving at the top of her game.
The track also draws parallels to Taylor Swift’s Reputation era, in that it sees an artist consciously experimenting with image and identity. But where Reputation was calculated and confrontational, “Rapunzel” feels organic and liberating—an artist having fun while carving a lane for herself outside of her group.
“Rapunzel” is a track that showcases Lisa at her most confident and self-assured. It’s sleek, bold, and radiates star power—built not just on catchy hooks, but on personality and presence. Whether you come for the beat, the fairy tale references, or the unfiltered fun between two powerhouse artists, “Rapunzel” delivers.
