"Handlebars" is a song by South Korean singer and rapper Jennie featuring English singer Dua Lipa. It was released to US contemporary hit radio through Columbia Records on March 11, 2025, as the fifth single from Jennie's debut studio album, Ruby (2025). It was also released to Italian radio by Sony Music Italy on March 14. The song was written by Lipa, Amy Allen, Delacey, James Alan Ghaleb and Rob Bisel and produced by the latter with Ido Zmishlany. It is a mid-tempo R&B track with lyrics about the reckless thrill of falling in love too quickly.
Critics praised "Handlebars" for its carefree vibe and the artists' chemistry as close friends. The song debuted at number 21 on the Billboard Global 200, while peaking within the top ten in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand and at number 68 on South Korea's Circle Digital Chart. It also debuted at number 80 on the US Billboard Hot 100, Jennie's fifth consecutive single from Ruby to enter the chart.
An accompanying music video was directed by BRTHR and released on Jennie's YouTube channel on March 10. Set in a technicolor psychedelic-inspired world, the video shows the artists in a heart-shaped spider's web, symbolizing their entanglements in love. Jennie performed "Handlebars" on the Ruby Experience (2025), Billboard's Iconic Stage, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and Blackpink's Deadline World Tour (2025–2026). The song received a nomination for the Ballad Award at the 34th Seoul Music Awards.
