[Chorus]
Gold teeth sittin' on the dash, she a rockstar
Make your favorite singer wanna rap, baby, la, la
"Lisa, can you teach me Japanese?" I said「はい、はい」

That's my life, life, baby, I'm a rockstar

[Pre-Chorus]
Been on a mission, boy, they call me catch-and-kill
I'm stealin' diamonds, make them chase me for the thrill
Been MIA, BKK so pretty
Every city that I go is my city


[Chorus]
Gold teeth sittin' on the dash, she a rockstar
Make your favorite singer wanna rap, baby, la, la
"Lisa, can you teach me Japanese?" I said「はい、はい」

That's my life, life, baby, I'm a rockstar

[Post-Chorus]
I'm a rockstar, I'm a rockstar
It's not hype, hype, baby, make you rock-hard

[Verse]
Make a wish, babe, what you wanna do?
Dippin' outta big cities like a ponzu
It's a fast life, it's an attitude

Put it on the calеndar and tell me when to comе through
Yes, yes, I can spend it
Yes, yes, no pretendin'
Tight dress, LV sent it
Oh shit, Lisa reppin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Been on a mission, boy, they call me catch-and-kill
I'm stealin' diamonds, make them chase me for the thrill
Been MIA, BKK so pretty
Every city that I go is my city


[Chorus]
Gold teeth sittin' on the dash, she a rockstar
Make your favorite singer wanna rap, baby, la, la
"Lisa, can you teach me Japanese?" I said「はい、はい」

That's my life, life, baby, I'm a rockstar
Gold teeth sittin' on the dash, she a rockstar
Make your favorite singer wanna rap, baby, la, la
"Lisa, can you teach me Japanese?" I said「はい、はい」

That's my life, life, baby, I'm a rockstar

[Post-Chorus]
I'm a rockstar, I'm a rockstar
It's not hype, hype, baby, make you rock-hard
I'm a rockstar, I'm a rockstar
It's not hype, hype, baby, make you rock-hard

[Outro]
Ooh, and the music goin'
Ooh, and the girls are posin'
Ooh, don't it get you in a mood?
It's not hype, hype, baby, I'm a rockstar

Genius Annotation

The pop-rap “ROCKSTAR” by LISA is the lead single to her upcoming single album after almost three years of dormancy from her solo career. The style of the single is mixed with elements from hip-hop to electronic and showcases unique styles of both singing and production. The song involves producers Ryan Tedder and Sam Homaee, both known for making pop hits. Additionally, the single also marks her second solo release after her debut with LALISA.

Lyrically, the song is about Lisa’s wealth, skills, and her affluent life, consisting of fortune and success. Lisa also boasts about her talents such as influencing others, rapping, singing, and being multilingual.

The music video compliments the rich, electronic concept of the single, including cyberpunk scenery setting place in Bangkok, Chinatown and Yaowarat Road in Thailand. Most importantly, the film displays Lisa’s outstanding choreography and fashion throughout each scene.

Are there any cameos in the music video?
Genius Answer

Yes! In between clips of LISA’s amazing dancing abilities, three Thai transgender influencers are featured in a shot — Chinnawat Promsri, who has a few viral videos talking about her experiences as a trans woman in Thailand, Aëffy, who works for the Thai television production company and talent agent GMMTV, and Bruze Kachi-Sarah, a model who was a runner-up in the Miss Tiffany 2024 beauty pageant.
LISA putting the spotlight on the LGBTQIA+ community now is even more significant given that on June 18, 2024 Thailand’s senate approved a bill that legalizes same-sex marriage in the country, becoming the first Southeast Asian nation to do so.
