What has been confirmed

"PRESS PLAY" is an EP, a release shorter than a full album, and is due on Oct. 23. It has six tracks and is led by "SaWaDiKa," the song promoted as its main single. The release date and lineup had been reported earlier this month as part of a crowded October comeback calendar. [2][1][3]

A lead single already in orbit

The pre-release single has set the tone for the EP. Its music video was the fastest of 2026 to pass 100 million YouTube views, and it was the first 2026 video by a K-pop artist to reach 200 million. That second milestone came on Oct. 8 at about 8 a.m. KST, roughly 34 days after the video went up. [1][4]

Where the EP sits in Lisa's solo path

Lisa's first full-length solo album, "Alter Ego," came out in February 2025. "SaWaDiKa" was her first solo music since then. One track from that album, "Dream," earned her Best Pop at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards. "PRESS PLAY" is her next solo project after that album. [5][2]

A busy release day ahead

Lisa is not the only act planning a release on Oct. 23. YG Entertainment's BABYMONSTER has said it will put out a new song at 1 p.m. that day. As an inference, the overlap suggests that attention on the EP will be shared with other fresh releases during a crowded comeback month. [2]
