Change the Title of Jennie's New Song 'Mantra' to Something More Respectful
The Issue
Who is impacted?
Fans of Jennie and BlackPink, as well as individuals from Hindu and Buddhist communities, are directly impacted by the misuse of the term "Mantra." This song trivializes a sacred concept, potentially offending millions who hold these spiritual traditions dear. The lyrics, which include phrases like "It's not that deep," "I'm not that drunk," and "throw it back, all that ass," have no connection to the title, further disrespecting its significance.
What is at stake?
If the title remains unchanged, it perpetuates a cycle of disrespect toward cultural and religious values. The term "Mantra" is holy and spiritual, carrying a deep sacred meaning that should not be associated with inappropriate lyrical content. Associating such lyrics with the term diminishes the importance of "Mantra" and may alienate fans who expect greater sensitivity from artists regarding cultural matters.
Why is now the time to act?
With the release of Jennie's song, there’s an immediate opportunity to address this issue and advocate for respect and understanding. By signing this petition, we can encourage Jennie and her team to reconsider the title and lyrics, fostering a more respectful dialogue around cultural terminology.
