LISA’s documentary Always Lalisa will arrive exclusively on YouTube Premium on November 18, giving fans an intimate look at the BLACKPINK star’s transition into a global solo artist. The release will also bring a new song, “Leave With Me,” a track created specifically for the film and set to debut on the same day.
Directed by Sue Kim and produced by Sony Music Vision, Always Lalisa follows a pivotal 12-month period in LISA’s life as she steps away from BLACKPINK for the first extended stretch of independence since childhood. The documentary captures the pressure of establishing her own identity while balancing music, acting, business and the expectations that come with worldwide fame.

The film traces the making and launch of her debut solo album Alter Ego, her first solo Coachella appearance and her move into acting with her role as Mook in the third season of HBO’s The White Lotus. It also documents the development of LLOUD, her own company, alongside moments with family and longtime friends in Thailand.
“YouTube has been so supportive in my music journey and my connection with fans around the world from the very beginning,” LISA said. “Bringing Always Lalisa to YouTube Premium gives us a global stage to share my story in a truly personal way. I can’t wait for everyone to see more behind the scenes of my journey so far.”
The documentary has already reached audiences beyond the streaming platform. LISA brought Always Lalisa to the Toronto International Film Festival, where she described the screening as a “special and unforgettable moment” and called the period captured in the film an important turning point in her life. Its trailer also features reflections on her BLACKPINK bandmates, Jennie, Jisoo and Rosé, whom she describes as her “soulmates,” alongside footage from the group’s history.
The November 18 premiere follows another major release for LISA. Her PRESS PLAY EP arrived October 23 with the music video for “Tarantino,” opening with 8.272 million Spotify streams in its first 24 hours. That marked the biggest first-day Spotify debut of 2026 by a K-pop soloist. The EP also topped the Worldwide iTunes Albums Chart, while “Tarantino” registered 41.9 million YouTube views in its first day.
