The BLACKPINK singer interpolates "Kiss Me" from Sixpence None the Richer on her new solo track.

LISA got on the floor to premiere a song called “Moonlit Floor” at Global Citizen Festival 2024 in New York City’s Central Park on Saturday night (Sept. 28).

The BLACKPINK singer debuted her latest solo track ahead of its official release, set for Oct. 3, and clips from Global Citizen Fest’s livestream soon popped up on social media (as seen in the video below). As it turns out, “Moonlit Floor” is the song she’s been teasing on TikTok.

If you feel as though you’ve heard its heavenly hook somewhere before, let us name that song for you: Sixpence None the Richer‘s hit “Kiss Me,” which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1998. The single was on the group’s self-titled album, released in 1997.

“Green-eyed, French boy got me trippin’/ How your skin is always soft/ How your kisses always hit/ How you know just where to/ Green-eyed, French boy got me trippin’/ On that accent off your lips/ How your tongue do all those tricks?/ How you know just where to,” LISA sings, leading into the “Kiss Me”-interpolated chorus: “Kiss me under the Paris twilight/ Kiss me out on the moonlit floor” replaces Sixpence None the Richer’s original lyric, “Kiss me beneath the milky twilight/ Lead me out on the moonlit floor.”

“Moonlit Floor” follows the K-pop star’s recent rollout of solo singles that’s included “Rockstar” in June and “New Woman” with Rosalía in August.

This year has Sixpence None the Richer reuniting for new music — their Rosemary Hill EP, featuring “We Are Love” and “Julia,” arrives on Oct. 4 — and a 25th anniversary tour. The live show kicks off on Oct. 10 in Knoxville, Tennessee, and runs through December in the U.S. See the band’s current tour dates on their official website.
