Amortage is the debut solo EP by South Korean singer Jisoo, released on February 14, 2025, through Blissoo and Warner Records. The four-track collection features two Korean and two English songs and sticks to bubblegum pop as it explores the stages of love. The lead single, Earthquake, arrived with the album.

This release marks Jisoo’s first solo project after leaving YG Entertainment and Interscope Records in 2023. The title Amortage blends amor, the Latin word for love, with montage, signaling a collage of love moments. Jisoo co-wrote all four songs with Jordan Roman and Jack Brady of The Wavys, and Blissoo and The Wavys produced the project.

Background and promotion: After starting her own label Blissoo in February 2024, Jisoo signed a global deal with Warner Records on January 28, 2025.
