BLACKPINK’s Rose is set to make her highly anticipated return as a solo artist with her first full-length album, Rosie, scheduled for release on December 6, 2024. This marks a significant milestone in her career as she steps into the spotlight with an introspective and emotionally charged project.
The Creative Journey
In a candid interview with Apple Music, Rosé opened up about the inspirations behind her album, revealing that much of the material is drawn from personal experiences, including navigating toxic relationships. One standout track, “Toxic Till the End,” was initially titled “The Ex” but underwent a name change to better reflect its emotional intensity.
Rosé explained that writing and expressing her feelings through music served as a healing process, helping her move past painful chapters in her life. “I’ve given myself time to heal, and this album is the result of that journey,” she shared, emphasizing the personal growth she has experienced during its creation.
Pre-Release Buzz
Ahead of the album launch, Rose will drop a pre-release single, Number One Girl, on November 22, 2024. This track follows the success of APT, her viral hit featuring Bruno Mars, which set the tone for her upcoming album.
To give fans a taste of Rosie, a private listening party was held for select invitees. Attendees previewed the album’s 12-track lineup, which includes songs like Drinks or Coffee, Stay a Little Longer, 3AM, and Game Boy.
