On February 19, 2025, Blackpink announced dates for a world tour starting in July,^[1] which was later revealed to be titled the Deadline World Tour.^[2] YG Entertainment confirmed on June 9 that the group had been filming a new music video since June 6 in Seoul with a "famous overseas director".^[3] On June 23, the label announced that Blackpink will debut their comeback single at the tour's first show on July 5.^[4] The group launched an interactive website on July 1 featuring a map of Seoul; two locations were marked on the map by an all-caps sign reading "Do Not Jump" with the "Not" crossed out in pink spray paint.^[5] On July 4, Blackpink released a teaser video captioned "Ready to Jump?" previewing their new song.^[6]

During the opening night of the Deadline World Tour at Goyang Stadium on July 5, Blackpink unveiled the song "Jump" and performed the song on stage.^[7] At the concert, Jennie revealed that the song would be released on streaming platforms later in the week.^[8] On July 7, Blackpink released a music video teaser confirming the song's release date to be four days later.^[9] "Jump" was released digitally on July 11 through YG Entertainment in a new distribution partnership with the Orchard, instead of the group's previous distributor Interscope Records.^[10] It marked the group's first release in two years and 10 months since their second studio album, Born Pink (2022), aside from the video game soundtrack "The Girls" in 2023.^[11] In an interview with Vogue Korea, Lisa confirmed that "Jump" is a pre-release single from the group's upcoming album.^[12]

"Jump" was written by Teddy, Diplo, 24, Zikai, Claudia Valentina, Jumpa, Malachiii and Jesse Bluu, and was produced by Diplo, 24, Boaz van de Beatz, Zecca, and Ape Drums.^[14] The track originated from a January 2024 session at Sony Studios in Miami to write Latin music with Diplo, Ape Drums, and Zecca. During the session, Diplo wanted to make "an 'Emerge' kind of acid song", referring to the song by 2000s electroclash duo Fischerspooner. Though initially intended for Major Lazer, it ended up with Argentine duo Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, who worked with Diplo on arrangement and recorded it. However, the duo moved in a different direction for their music, making the song no longer work for them. He then presented the demo to Blackpink's creative director and lead producer Teddy, who loved its radicalness. Diplo passed the track to Blackpink in May 2025, who recorded the song and sent him the files for finishing touches.^[13]

"Jump" is a fast-paced, energetic hardstyle,^[15] Eurodance^[16] and dance-pop^[17] anthem that hybridizes various dance/electronic subgenres.^[13] The song begins with a "striking guitar riff" that evokes a Western film and is characterized by "powerful beats, an unpredictable hook, and expressive vocal lines," delivering an "intense, addictive energy that instantly gets pulses racing."^[18] Described as a "club track", it shifts between moments of techno, drill, hardstyle, Eurodance and trance with a chorus melody evoking Da Hool's 1997 rave anthem "Meet Her at the Love Parade".^[13] The song blends elements of club music, synth-pop, European techno and EDM, a bold departure from the group's usual pop-focused sound.^[19] The track has been described as a marked transformation from the group's previous musical style and features an "addictive chorus".^[20]

Lyrically, "Jump" centers around the power of a night out with the girls; it begins with Rosé and Jisoo explaining to a presumed former lover the wild feeling that takes them over at times. In the chorus, Jennie and Lisa urge everyone to run up on the dance floor and jump. The second verse discusses how sisterhood leads to liberation for the girls, before the chorus repeats the theme of women dancing and jumping their feelings out.^[21]
