Dissecting the music video

The inspiring music video for Ice Cream held Seo Hyun-seong responsible for the mesmerizing concept. The director is a frequent collaborator with BLACKPINK, who already worked with the group's chart-topping music videos in the past.

As mentioned above, the music video was released on August 28, garnering a whopping 79.08 million views in its first 24 hours. That said, Ice Cream was hailed as the third biggest 24-hour debut for a music video on the streaming platform.

The scenes of Jennie, Rose, Lisa, and Jisoo were shot in South Korea, while Selena Gomez's scenes were filmed in the United States. The collaborators were not given a chance to be in one setup due to the restrictions caused by COVID-19.

An animated performance video also made its way to Youtube on September 2. It showcases the K-pop quartet and Selena as 3-D ZEPETO avatars, wearing outfits similar to what they wore in the original music video.
