About the song
“How You Like That” was released by BLACKPINK in 2020 and later included on The Album. Its arrangement moves between restrained melodic passages and a much heavier recurring instrumental refrain.
Sound and arrangement
Programmed drums, low bass and brass-like electronic sounds give the recording a forceful rhythmic shape. Singing and rap provide contrasting kinds of articulation, with each change of voice helping mark a new section.
Listening closely
Listen for the deliberate gaps before the largest instrumental returns. The production uses those moments of reduced density to make the renewed beat and vocal accents feel especially pronounced.
