"Mantra" also reached number 1 on the iTunes chart in the US, becoming Jennie's first song to do so.
In Vietnam, the song currently has nearly 30 million views on YouTube and reached top 1 trending on YouTube Vietnam.
Mantra is said to have a catchy melody, helping Jennie show off her advantages in rapping and dancing.
In the MV, Jennie attracts attention with her figure-hugging outfit. She freely shows off her sexy body through daring dance moves. This also caused Mantra to receive some mixed reviews.
The Bias List website rated Jennie's newly released song 4.75. Many fans commented that the MV was well-invested in visuals but the lyrics of Mantra were cliche and monotonous.
Contrary to the somewhat harsh comments on The Bias List, The Korea Times praised Jennie's new music product.
"Mantra is a powerful and energetic song that encourages everyone to shine in their own unique way," wrote The Korea Times.
Jennie will perform "Mantra" for the first time on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", airing on October 15 at 11:35 p.m. ET.
