18 | !! Baby, you deserve a trope: |
19 | * AlbumClosure: The climactic ballad "You Never Know" |
20 | * AlternateAlbumCover: The Japanese version of the album replaces the MinimalisticCoverArt with a FaceOnTheCover of a MusicalSquares variant. |
21 | * DoubleEntendre: "Ice Cream", naturally, has a lot of ice-cream innuendos. |
22 | --> "You're the cherry piece, just stay on top of me, so\ |
23 | I can't see nobody else for me, no." |
24 | * IntercourseWithYou: Multiple songs, but "Ice Cream" stands out due to it being the most innuendo-heavy one. |
25 | * LampshadedDoubleEntendre: The last lines of "Ice Cream." |
26 | --> "I'm nice with the cream, if you know what I mean." |
27 | * LongestSongGoesLast: "You Never Know" (3:49) is also the only song longer than 3.5 minutes. |
28 | * LoveIsADrug: Mentioned in "Lovesick Girls" |
29 | --> "Love is a drug that I quit\ |
30 | No doctor could help when I'm lovesick." |
31 | * LyricalColdOpen: "Love to Hate Me" has an a capella intro. "You Never Know" has no intro. |
32 | * LyricalDissonance: "Lovesick Girls" sounds rather upbeat for a song about constant heartbreak. |
33 | * {{Mesodiplosis}}: "Ice Cream" uses a "like" Mesodiplosis, as part of {{Shout Out}}s to other movies, like ''Film/FreeWilly'', ''Music/BillieJean'' and ''Toys/HotWheels'': |
34 | ---> "Get it free like Willy\ |
35 | In the jeans like Billie\ |
36 | You be poppin' like a wheelie" |
37 | * MinimalisticCoverArt: The cover is a pink crown on a black background. |
38 | * SingerNameDrop: In addition to the usual "Blackpink in your area" catchphrase, there is Lisa name-dropping herself as "[[Art/TheMonaLisa Mona Lisa]] kinda Lisa" in her rap in "Ice Cream". |
39 | * ShoutOut: In "Ice Cream": |
40 | --> "Snow cone, chilly\ |
41 | Get it [[Film/FreeWilly free like Willy]]\ |
42 | In the [[Music/BillieJean jeans like Billie]]\ |
43 | You be [[Toys/HotWheels poppin' like a wheelie]]" |
44 | * TWordEuphemism: "Pretty Savage" |
45 | --> "F boys, not my boys" |
46 | * AWildRapperAppears: Courtesy of Music/CardiB in "Bet You Wanna" |
