News 9live reports that Lisa performed this song at the Global Citizen Festival 2024 in New York City last Saturday evening. The lyrics mention: "Green-eyed French boy got me trippin’."

"How your skin is always soft, how your kisses always hit," it continues. "Kiss me under the Paris twilight."

Several social media users have commented that the song brings to mind rumors of the singer’s relationship with Frédéric, son of billionaire Bernard Arnault. Frédéric was also present in New York on Saturday, and he and Lisa were observed dining together at a local restaurant.

"Basically, she just confirmed their relationship with this guy [Frédéric]?" questioned a user on X, as reported by Malay Mail.

Speculation regarding a close relationship between Lisa and Frédéric surfaced when the billionaire heir started following the singer on Instagram in 2022 and liked numerous of her posts. The pair has since been spotted together frequently.

Lisa, 27, originally named Pranpriya Manoban in Thailand, joined the K-pop girl group Blackpink in 2016 and began her solo career in 2021 with the album "Lalisa." Her single "Money" has earned her the distinction of being the first K-pop artist to achieve over 1 billion streams on Spotify, and she has become a prominent fashion icon with more than 103 million followers on Instagram.

Frédéric, 29, manages the watch division of LVMH, overseeing brands such as Hublot, TAG Heuer, and Zenith.

As of Sep. 30, according to Forbes, Bernard Arnault and his family rank as the fourth wealthiest globally, possessing an estimated fortune of US$198.3 billion, predominantly accumulated through their LVMH holdings, which include luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Bulgari.
