It was released to US contemporary hit radio by Interscope Records as the second single from the album on November 9, 2021 after achieving viral success. The lyrics for the track were written by Bekuh Boom and Vince, with music being composed by them alongside 24 and R. Tee.

Commercially, the song peaked at number ten on the Billboard Global 200 and number seven on the Global Excl.

It also topped the charts in Malaysia and figured within the record charts of 26 countries.

Background and release[]

On August 25, 2021, YG Entertainment announced that Lisa would make her solo debut with the single album titled after her given name, Lalisa.[1] "Money" was confirmed as the B-side track on the tracklist of the single album on September 5.[2] The song was released alongside the album on September 10, and received a performance video on September 24. Following its release, "Money" trended on TikTok and Instagram Reels in the form of dance covers, transformation edits, and edits to the television series Squid Game, and began to rise in the international charts.[3] In response to its viral success, the song was sent by Interscope Records to US contemporary hit radio as the second single from the album on November 9, 2021.[4]

Composition[]

The song's lyrics were written by Bekuh Boom and Vince, and music was composed by them alongside 24 and R. Tee.[5] Lyrically it is a boastful song about being rich and spending cash.[6] The song is composed in the key of E minor and carries a tempo of 140 beats per minute, and is described as a dynamic hip hop song.[7] Nolan Feeney from Billboard explained the music of the song is close to the "contemporary American rap" and is "built around a languid horn loop."[8]

Critical reception[]

"Money" received mixed to positive reviews, with Lisa's performance and rapping receiving praise; on the other hand, some criticized the song's composition and lyrical content. Rhian Daly of NME criticized the lyrics as "cringe-y at best" and the sound as "obvious, safe and boring."[6] In a more positive assessment, Starr Bowenbank of Billboard stated that the track exhibits the "full extent of her rap skills, star power and crossover appeal."[9] Writing for Teen Vogue, Maddy Meyer similarly stated that "from the start, this song draws the listener in" and that it "has all the confidence Lisa is known for."[10]
