Tee.[12] It is composed in the key of G-flat major with a tempo of 128 beats per minute.[13] Stylistically, it is a dance-pop and electropop number containing influences from EDM and punk rock,[14][15] incorporating acoustic guitar instrumentations.[16] Kat Moon from Time wrote that Blackpink's voices "are layered over acoustic guitar to create a breezy and mellow ambience", contrasting its production to "the hard-hitting nature" of the group's 2018 and 2019 singles.[17] Douglas Greenwood from British Vogue highlighted the song's "dreamy electronica" production, and wrote that its soundscape felt "liberating" and "club-friendly".[18]

Music video
On September 30, 2020, the group released a 16-second teaser of the song and music video on their official YouTube channel.[62] The accompanying music video was released in conjunction with The Album on October 2.[63] Blackpink broke their own personal record by surpassing 10 million views for the music video in less than 52 minutes (the group's previous record, "Ice Cream", surpassed 10 million views in 2 hours and 55 minutes).[64] It surpassed 50 million views in only 18 hours after release.[65] The visual garnered 61.4 million views in its first 24 hours, becoming the sixth most-viewed YouTube video in 24 hours for a music video at the time.[66] In August 2023, the video surpassed 700 million views.[67] The behind the scenes video was uploaded a day after the music video on October 3, [68] while the dance practice video was uploaded five days later.[69] The dance practice video features the members performing the song's choreography in a "rustic looking" dance studio.[70]
Directed by Seo Hyun-seung,[71] the official music video opens with Jennie, Lisa, Jisoo, and Rosé sitting in a pink Cadillac. They appear in a field before moving forward to the members getting into a heated argument in a wrecked, graffiti-covered car on an urban street, whilst singing, "We are the lovesick girls / But we were born to be alone / Yeah, we were born to be alone / But why we still looking for love." Lovesickness strikes them in various ways, such as through moody walks in a day-glo field, guitar-smashing outbursts, choreographed late-night street dances, smashing car headlights with a sledgehammer, breathless midnight sprints throughout the streets, angsty therapy sessions, a trip to a paintball range, and a food fight in a bodega.[72]
Following the release of the music video for "Lovesick Girls", the Korean Health and Medical Workers Union raised concerns about member Jennie's nurse outfit which was featured in her solo scene. The union released a statement stating that YG Entertainment "sexually objectified the image of a nurse" in the video, and that "the costume perpetuated hyper-sexualized stereotypes about the profession".[73] In response, YG Entertainment reuploaded the music video on October 7, 2020, with the controversial scene deleted.[74]
