BLACKPINK's Lisa and Britney Spears

BLACKPINK‘s Lisa shared a festive cover of Britney Spears‘ ‘My Only Wish (This Year)’ to celebrate Christmas Eve.

Lisa shared a black-and-white photo of herself to Instagram to break the news to fans about the Christmas treat they’d be receiving. “Christmas present for my BLINKS Have a wonderful holiday,” Lisa wrote.

The cover is accompanied by a music video in which Lisa receives a small ribbon-wrapped note and single rose before she wanders the streets of Paris in a white fur-lined coat. Towards the end, she flashes a big grin to the camera as she accepts a rose from a mysterious suitor.
