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"
47	----
48	---> But we're still looking for tropes.
