Jennie has been listed as a writer on a song titled “Did It Again” in the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers repertory, according to fan-circulated database searches on April 23. (ascap.com) The underlying record is an ASCAP repertory entry, a public database used to identify musical works and the writers and publishers attached to them for licensing and royalty purposes. ASCAP says its repertory search includes works in its catalog and certain works controlled by Broadcast Music, Inc., or BMI. (ascap.com) Public access to that data is part of Songview, the joint ASCAP-BMI system that shows songwriter, composer, publisher and copyright-share information for most music licensed in the United States. An entry in that system is not the same thing as a release date or an official announcement of a single. (ascap.com) The attention around “Did It Again” lands as Jennie has taken more direct control of her solo career. She launched her own label, ODD ATELIER, in December 2023 and signed a solo deal with Columbia Records in September 2024. (oddatelier.net; variety.com) That shift has already shown up in released music. Jennie’s debut solo album “Ruby” came out on March 7, 2025, and ODD ATELIER has described the project as reflecting her “artistry” and “creative freedom.” (youtube.com; oddatelier.net) In music publishing, repertory registrations often surface before a song is formally released, because collecting royalties depends on identifying the work and the rightsholders. ASCAP says IPI numbers and repertory data are used to link writers to works so performances can be tracked and paid correctly. (ascap.com; ascap.com) The social-media reaction has focused less on the title itself than on the credit line. A fan post about the registration on X drew more than 10,000 likes, underscoring how closely BLACKPINK fans now watch database filings for signs of new music and for evidence of formal writing credits. (x.com) What is still missing is an official release plan. As of April 23, neither Jennie’s ODD ATELIER site nor Columbia’s artist page had posted a standalone announcement for “Did It Again,” leaving the repertory listing as a clue rather than a confirmation.
