The two tracks were bundled as LaLisa, with the title tune taking centre stage. Money emerged as the next hit that would make Lisa a global K-pop star when LaLisa's streaming statistics declined. With LaLisa, the singer included Thai history and culture into the music video and her unique flair. Lisa, from Buriram, Thailand, contributed a Thai-style melody to the song and even wore a traditional Thai attire in the music video to add her individuality.
