"Love Hangover" is a song by South Korean singer and rapper Jennie featuring American singer Dominic Fike. It was released through Jennie's label Odd Atelier and Columbia Records on January 31, 2025, as the second single from her upcoming debut studio album, Ruby (2025).

Background and release

After her departure from YG Entertainment for solo activities, Jennie founded her own record label named Odd Atelier in November 2023.[1] She subsequently signed as a solo artist with Columbia Records in partnership with Odd Atelier in September 2024.[2] On October 11, 2024, Jennie released "Mantra" through Odd Atelier and Columbia Records as the lead single of her debut studio album Ruby.[3] She began teasing a follow-up by releasing a snippet of a track accompanied by an image of a telephone on her official website. She also posted a photo of a burial site from an underground point of view on Instagram, showing a behind-the-scenes moment from the filming of a then unannounced music video.[4] On January 26, 2025, she officially announced the album's second single titled "Love Hangover" by uploading an image of a heart-shaped gravestone that displayed the track's name and release date of January 31.[5] The next day, she revealed the song was a collaboration with American singer Dominic Fike in a teaser photo post of herself lying in a coffin holding blue flowers; she later posted a video of herself in the same location singing along to a snippet of the track.[6] She further shared a snapshot of herself with Fike captioned "call me back" on January 29.[7]

Composition and lyrics

"Love Hangover" is a "slow-burn, midtempo pop" song that is seemingly inspired by Diana Ross' 1976 song of the same name.[8] It has further been described to be a "hazy post-break" track marked with "retro soul flourishes and programmed idiosyncrasies".[9] The lyrics explore the "emotional turmoil of an irresistible yet toxic attraction".[10] In the chorus, Jennie sings: "We say it’s over/ But I keep fucking with you/ And every time I do, I wake up with this love hangover", expressing her struggle fighting an attraction to someone she hates to love. Dominic Fike comes in the second verse to rap: "She gon' leave me, but she wants to keep me on, what's up with that?", continuing the theme of struggling to break free from a connection that won't let go.[8]

Music video

Each time I go out on a date, I keep dying when I fall in love. The lyrics are somewhat like that, knowing that I’ll get hurt and that it will be tough, but why do I fall in love again and get drunk with that love? It’s about the hangover of love. When I heard it for the first time, I just really related to it. Anyone who has dated and been in love can easily relate to it.

— Jennie on how the song's lyrics inspired the music video, Hyell's Club[12]

An accompanying music video for "Love Hangover" was released alongside the single on January 31. Directed by duo Bradley & Pablo and shot in Mexico City, the video stars American actor Charles Melton as Jennie's boyfriend and sees the two going on a series of dates that all end in disaster.[13] After the opening scene in which she gets laid to rest at her funeral, several flashbacks to the dates show that they each end with Jennie's untimely death, depicting her being eaten by a kaiju that pops out of a movie screen, choking on a martini olive at a restaurant, throwing herself into a bowling accident, and falling from a great height.[14] On Lee Hye-ri's YouTube show Hyell's Club, Jennie explained that the concept of the music video was inspired as a dramatic reflection of the song's lyrics.[12]
