Ruby is the debut solo studio album by South Korean singer and rapper Jennie. Released on March 7, 2025, by Odd Atelier and Columbia Records, the album marks Jennie's first solo release after departing from YG Entertainment in 2023. Jennie wrote and co-produced Ruby with a range of collaborators, including El Guincho, Diplo, and Mike Will Made It. Consisting of fifteen tracks, the album features collaborations with Childish Gambino, Doechii, Dominic Fike, FKJ, Dua Lipa, and Kali Uchis. Exploring genres such as pop, hip-hop, and R&B, the subject matter of the album is based around Jennie's relationships, influence, and success.
Ruby received generally favorable reviews from critics, with praise going to Jennie's versatility, performance, and viability as a solo artist, as well as the album's cohesion and experimental nature. Upon release, the album sold more than one million copies worldwide and debuted in the top ten in more than 19 countries including Australia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Korea, and the United States. Ruby sold more than 660,000 copies in its first week in South Korea, which marked the highest first-week album sales for a K-pop female solo artist in 2025. It also debuted at number three on the UK Albums Chart, becoming the highest-ranked album by a K-pop female soloist and tying for the highest-ranked album overall by a K-pop solo artist. The album has since been certified double platinum by the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA) for selling 500,000 copies.
The album was supported by five singles: "Mantra", "Love Hangover", "ExtraL", "Like Jennie", and "Handlebars". "Mantra" peaked at number three on the Billboard Global 200 and South Korea's Circle Digital Chart, while "Like Jennie" peaked at number five on the Global 200 and became Jennie's third number-one song on the Circle Digital Chart. All singles also peaked within the top 30 of the Global 200 and entered the US Billboard Hot 100. In promotion of the record, Jennie embarked on the Ruby Experience, a four-city run of five intimate shows starting on March 6, and performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
