“SaWaDiKa” is a pre-release track from the mini-album “PRESS PLAY,” scheduled for release on the 23rd of next month.
The song title is a Thai greeting meaning “Hello.” Sony Music Entertainment Korea, the distributor, described it as “a hip-hop track that vividly captures Lisa’s identity.”
The music video, released alongside the track, was filmed against the backdrop of iconic locations in Bangkok, Thailand, Lisa’s hometown. Sony Music Entertainment stated, “Lisa will captivate global fans with her energetic performance and glamorous styling.”
Meanwhile, Lisa will hold “VIVA LA LISA,” her solo residency concert—the first of its kind by a K-pop artist—at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, USA, on November 13–14 and 27–28.
On the 12th of next month, she will also premiere the documentary film “Always Lalisa.” Directed by Sue Kim, the documentary is set to premiere at the 51st Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF 2026), which runs from the 10th to the 20th.
