ExtraL is a 2025 hip-hop collaboration between South Korean superstar Jennie and Grammy-winning American rapper Doechii, released on February 21, 2025 as the third single from Jennie’s debut solo album, Ruby. The song quickly garnered global attention, praised for its clever writing, powerful female empowerment theme, and engaging musical production.
The track fuses Jennie’s pop-R&B sensibilities with Doechii’s rapid-fire American rap—produced by Dem Jointz—resulting in a slick, assertive beat featuring stuttering hi-hats, bold bass, and distorted vocal loops. Lyrically, “ExtraL” is an anthem for self-made women. Jennie boasts financial independence and creative autonomy, referencing founding her own label, Odd Atelier, while Doechii delivers a confident verse about feminine power and refusing to cater to male egos. Verses alternate between playful taunts and hard-hitting battle cries, with the chorus asking, “Do my ladies run this?”—emphasizing the song’s message of women controlling their narrative.
Critics noted Jennie and Doechii’s synergy and the song’s innovative structure. Billboard called it a showcase of creative collaboration, lauding its empowering energy. Doechii’s verse attracted special praise for its speed and electric delivery, while reviews highlighted Jennie’s ability to blend playfulness with rapid-fire rap skills. The song reached #18 on the Billboard Global 200, #75 on the US Hot 100, and charted in the top ten across several Asian countries, marking Jennie’s highest solo US debut.
Cole Bennett directed the official music video, released the same day, showing the duo performing choreography with dancers in a surreal theater setting and high-fashion looks. The video further cemented the song’s viral appeal, especially among young global audiences. Jennie added “ExtraL” to setlists for her Ruby Experience tour and Coachella 2025, while Doechii performed the song on her own Live from the Swamp tour.
“ExtraL” has been nominated for major awards, including Best Collaboration and Song of the Year at the 2025 MAMA Awards, underscoring its critical and commercial impact. The track continues to trend on streaming platforms and social media, regarded as a bold declaration of independence and talent from two of pop and rap’s most exciting modern voices.
