By examining each other's thoughts and feelings in more detail, we were able to bring out something deep inside. We exchanged feedback with each other and realized that the four of us shine the most when we are together. Above all, it was so reassuring and fun to work with YG producers who know us well.

In an online press conference in Seoul for the release of "Pink Venom", Jennie explained how the single was chosen to represent Blackpink's identity: "Since our album's title is Born Pink, we wanted to relay our identity in the song as much as we could.

I was able to sketch how we'd perform this song". She also revealed that the track is "distinctly Blackpink" and is something the band can express well.

In an article by Variety, several songwriters whose work was featured on Born Pink discussed the stories behind their contributions to the record. The writer of "Typa Girl", Bekuh Boom revealed that she had written the demo for the song in 2021 at The Black Label's studio and that she had originally "thought Lisa might use it for her next solo single". She further described it as a "song to empower women". American songwriter and producer Freddy Wexler conceived "Hard to Love" during a jam session with his friends. He sent the demo to Teddy in June 2022 and was video called by him, Lisa, and Rosé the next day. He described the song as "an overwhelmingly organic — and fast — process". Over the next month, he would FaceTime with Park and the group, who suggested changes.{{Cite web|author=Mike Wass|date= September 15, 2022|title=Blackpink's Rebel Yell: 'Pink Venom' Collaborators on Making the K-Pop Stars' Liberating and Defiant New Album|url=https://variety.com/2022/music/asia/blackpink-pink-venom-album-collaborators-1235374212/|website=Variety|access-date=October 6, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221011073648/https://variety.com/2022/music/asia/blackpink-pink-venom-album-collaborators-1235374212/|archive-date=October 11, 2022|url-status=live}}

The writers of "Tally" discussed the story behind the track: "Judgment is something that a lot of women come across. These lyrics are so impactful coming from [BLACKPINK]". The song was inspired by co-writer Soraya LaPread, who brought up the subject in a session with production duo Saltwives. During the interview with Rolling Stone, LaPread confessed she worked on the song years ago and had actually forgotten about it. The producer then revealed that she only remembered the song after Australian songwriter Nat Dunn showed interest in the track and offered to buy it.{{Cite magazine |last=Shannon |first=Delisa|date=October 3, 2022 |title=BLACKPINK'S 'Tally' Almost Went To Doja Cat|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-videos/blackpinks-tally-almost-went-to-doja-cat-1234604323/ |access-date=October 11, 2022 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221011074133/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-videos/blackpinks-tally-almost-went-to-doja-cat-1234604323/|archive-date=October 11, 2022|url-status=live}} He played the demo for Brian Lee in London and later sent it to Teddy Park, who had handpicked every song on the album.
