Lisa sat down with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show this week. She talked about her single SaWaDiKa, her coming EP PRESS PLAY and the documentary Always Lalisa. The Blackpink member taped the interview on Wednesday.
The episode went out on NBC at 11.35pm Eastern time, which falls at about 10.35am Thursday in Thailand. Benny Blanco and the Australian breakdancer Raygun also appeared, and the band Jungle closed the show.
SaWaDiKa takes its name from the Thai greeting sawasdee ka and arrived on 3 September. The song leans on Thai imagery in its music, its styling and its choreography. It leads PRESS PLAY, an EP due on 23 October, with pre-orders already open on her official site.
The Tonight Show slot is part of the promotion around that release. Lisa runs her solo work through her company LLOUD, while Blackpink continues as a group.
Always Lalisa premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival this month. Directed by Su Kim, it follows Lisa through 2024 and 2025. The film covers the Alter Ego album, her role in The White Lotus season three and her Coachella preparations.
The documentary opens in cinemas worldwide on 12 October before moving to YouTube Premium later this year. Sony Music Vision is handling the theatrical release.
Lisa first appeared on The Tonight Show in September 2021, performing LALISA on television for the first time after her solo debut. This visit was an interview rather than a performance, and clips usually go up on the show’s YouTube channel after broadcast.
