JENNIE steps into an unexpected new frame with the animated music video for “Someone to Hold”, a song from Netflix’s upcoming fairy-tale adventure STEPS. The project pairs the BLACKPINK star with a reimagined Cinderella story, offering a fresh screen presence for an artist whose work already moves comfortably between music, fashion, and performance.

JENNIE Steps Into an Animated Fairytale
The video’s defining hook is right there in its premise: JENNIE as an animated character, in a one-of-a-kind visual created specifically for the song. That gives “Someone to Hold” room to feel distinct from a conventional soundtrack release, while tying it directly to the world of STEPS. The film’s official updates are available on Netflix, with more about the singer’s music on Netflix’s YouTube channel.
A Cinderella Story With the Script Flipped
STEPS starts from a familiar fairy-tale grievance and gives it a mischievous new direction. Lilith, played by Ali Wong, is tired of living in Cinderella’s shadow; after taking the Fairy Godmother’s wand, she and her sister Margot, voiced by Stephanie Hsu, disrupt the royal ball—and leave the kingdom vulnerable to the scheming Priscilla. The cast also includes Amanda Seyfried as Cinderella and Bette Midler as the Fairy Godmother, setting up a tale that treats the supposedly “evil” stepsisters as more than a familiar punchline.
A Soundtrack for the Kingdom’s Wild Ride
The story promises a suitably unruly adventure, from biker trolls and evil henchmen to the ominously named Screaming Woods. Beneath the fantasy mayhem, though, the film’s central quest is also about repairing a relationship, giving the soundtrack’s promise of someone to hold an intriguing emotional echo. The STEPS soundtrack is scheduled to arrive everywhere on November 20, the same date the film is set to debut on Netflix; listeners can find release information through Billboard’s music coverage.
A Fresh Chapter for a Familiar Fairytale
Directed by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa, and produced by Jane Hartwell alongside Amy Poehler and Kim Lessing for Paper Kite Productions, STEPS brings a sizable creative team to its playful storybook reinvention. JENNIE’s animated appearance adds another point of curiosity, connecting a contemporary pop presence to a tale built on challenging old roles. As the release approaches, the film’s official Netflix page and video channel offer the clearest routes into this newly imagined kingdom.
