Rosie is the debut studio album by New Zealand and South Korean singer Rosé. It was released on 6 December 2024, through The Black Label and Atlantic Records. The album marks her first solo release since departing from YG Entertainment and Interscope Records in 2023. Rosé served as a songwriter and producer, co-producing with various collaborators including Bruno Mars, Carter Lang, and Omer Fedi. The album was conceived as a 12-track pop collection, that traverses through pop-punk and alternative pop, blending various musical elements such as 90s-inspired R&B, shimmering synthpop, and raw ballads, with lyrics exploring Rosé's excitement, heartbreak and fame in her early twenties.
Rosie was supported by three singles. "Apt.", a collaboration between Rosé and Bruno Mars, was released as the album's lead single on 18 October 2024 to worldwide success. It reached number one on the Billboard Global 200 and in numerous countries including South Korea, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand, while entering the top ten in the US and UK. This was followed by the singles "Number One Girl," which achieved moderate success, and "Toxic Till the End". Critics praised the album for its emotional depth, strong songwriting, and versatile pop sound.
Background
[edit]In December 2023, YG Entertainment revealed that although Rosé, alongside the other members of Blackpink, renewed their contracts for group activities, they did not sign with the agency for their individual activities.[2][3] On 17 June 2024, Blackpink's main producer Teddy disclosed that The Black Label, an associate company of YG Entertainment, was in discussions with Rosé for an exclusive contract; the following day, it was confirmed that she had signed a management contract with the label.[4][5] On 26 September, Rosé revealed that she had also signed a solo deal with Atlantic Records and new music was upcoming in the next few months.[6]
Themes and lyrics
[edit]I think I'm grateful enough to have gone through a few relationships, you know, like a normal girl in her 20s. I do want people to understand that I'm not much different from your average girlfriend, or 23-year-old girl. I'm probably very relatable if you listen to my songs, and if anyone's been in that kind of a relationship. It doesn't even have to be about a boyfriend, just any type of toxic relationship.
Comprising 12 tracks, Rosie has been described to represent "a burst of honesty" from the singer, showcasing Rosé as a co-writer of the entire record.[8] Explaining the album title, Rosé revealed that she had chosen Rosie, a nickname derived from her first name, Roseanne, which she allows "friends and family to call [her]", to express her desire for listeners to feel closer to her.[9] She further shared that Rosie was conceived as a personal "little journal" after she found herself in a recording session in Los Angeles following the conclusion of Blackpink's Born Pink World Tour.[10]
A reflection of her personal experiences of a failed relationship, Rosie has been primarily characterised to be a "breakup album" that explores Rosé's feelings of heartache, loss, anger, and desire.[11] Additionally, the album provides insight into her navigation of life as a "20-something woman" under heavy public scrutiny, showcasing a perspective into the complexities of youthful emotion.[12] In an interview with Paper, Rosé revealed that Rosie is thematically about her "terrible 20s" and her hopes of making people understand her as a person, stating: "I'm ready to be a bit more vulnerable and open and honest in order for people to not misunderstand, and take me for what I am."[7]
Production and music
[edit]Rosé started creating the album shortly after the conclusion of Blackpink's Born Pink World Tour in September 2023.[7] She booked several songwriting sessions in Los Angeles, which resulted in the production of potential tracks that could be used for an album. Encouraged by positive feedback from her friends, Rosie was then developed across several weeks and months-long trips to the city, leading to a year of writing songs and meeting new producers while still feeling "confused and lost".[7][10]
Musically, the album has been described as a collection of polished pop tracks,[7] blending various elements such as stuttering 90s-style R&B to shiny synthpop and raw ballads.[12] The record begins with "the stripped-back" piano ballad "Number One Girl," setting a "contemplative tone" that introduces Rosé's raw and "emotional" vocal performance. This reflective mood shifts in the second track, "3am," which blends acoustic elements with subtle 808s and trap beats, exploring lyrical themes of love and imperfection.[13] "Two Years" introduces '80s-inspired synths, marking a "bittersweet synth-pop song" with layered vocal effects. "Toxic Till the End" follows with an intense "whirlpool of guitars and synths," capturing an "emotional frankness" through its power-pop production. "Drinks or Coffee" lightens the mood with "snappy beats" while exploring the complexities of relationships.[13]
This followed by "Apt." a pop-punk,[14] and pop rock track,[15] featuring indie rock and electropop elements.[16] It opens with a rap verse, transitions to a "melodious" pre-chorus, and builds to an energetic chorus influenced by the Apartment game chant.[17] Inspired by a popular South Korean drinking game called Apartment, the track uses the game's rhythmic chant of "apateu" (아파트) to create a playful and addictive chorus.[15]
"Gameboy" is a "standout," with catchy rhythmic production and "playful wordplay." It is followed by "Stay a Little Longer," which incorporates a classic soulful rock production that highlights Rosé's vocals. [13] "Not the Same" brings raw energy, with light guitar-plucking production contrasted by the singer's vocal delivery. "Call It the End" combines emotional lyrics, "lush" piano production, and a heartfelt vocal performance. "Too Bad for Us" uses a "stripped-down" arrangement to emphasise intimate storytelling, while "Dance All Night" closes the album with a "chilled-out vibe," meditating on moving forward despite heartache.[13]
Promotion and release
[edit]On 11 February 2024, in celebration of her 27th birthday, Rosé teased the release of her new solo music, previewing a snippet of her upcoming song "Vampirehollie" on her then newly opened Instagram broadcast channel.[18] On 27 September, after announcing her signed deal with Atlantic Records, she introduced a new Instagram account (@vampirehollie), naming it after the unreleased track.[19] Shortly thereafter, on 1 October, Rosé announced that her first studio album Rosie would be released on 6 December.[20] The announcement was accompanied by a post of the album cover, which depicts a close up of the singer lying down with blonde curls.[20] The album tracklist was revealed on 25 November 2024.[21] Limited vinyl editions of Rosie containing the exclusive bonus track "Vampirehollie" were released,[22] as well as limited digital editions containing "Vampirehollie" and the live performance version of "Number One Girl" from KBS's The Seasons.[23][24]
Throughout the months leading up to her album's release, Rosé guested in various interviews, online talk shows, and podcasts, including appearances in Vogue's Now Serving and Life in Looks,[25][26] BuzzFeed's Puppy Interview,[27] LADbible's Snack Wars,[28] Hot Ones,[29] and Therapuss with Jake Shane.[30] Additionally, she conducted radio interviews with Sirius XM,[21] BBC Radio 1,[31] iHeartRadio,[32] Hits Radio,[33] Elvis Duran and the Morning Show,[34] and On Air with Ryan Seacrest alongside its adjunct program American Top 40, which she guest-hosted.[35][36] She also discussed the album's conception alongside her experiences as a solo artist in interviews with The New York Times and Apple Music 1's The Zane Lowe Show,[37][38] as well as in magazine features on Paper and i-D.[7][12]
In November, Rosé personally hosted album listening parties for her fans in Seoul and Tokyo.[39][40] Official listening parties around the globe were also later organised and held on 4 December.[41] On 1 December, Rosé appeared on TV Asahi's Udo Times broadcast for an interview with Yukino Yamamoto.[42] Continuing promotions in South Korea, Rosé appeared on JTBC's Newsroom, [43] You Quiz on the Block,[44] and Daesung's web show Zip Daesung.[45]
Pop-up stores selling the album and limited edition merchandise will also be open at Hyundai's Iconic Pop-up Zone in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul;[46] at 54 West Street in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong;[47] and at the Barnes & Noble on Fifth Avenue, New York, in December.[48][49] On 6 December, Melon presented a celebration of Rosé's first full-length record through its new album spotlight service, Melon Spotlight, which offered a comment event to win signed CDs, as well as a variety of exclusive content including interview videos, images, magazines, and handwritten notes.[50] On 9 December, TikTok launched the "#rosie" campaign celebrate the album release, offering in-app experiences, a limited-time profile frame mission, and exclusive videos.[51]
Singles
[edit]On 17 October, Rosé revealed the album's lead single "Apt.", a collaboration with American singer Bruno Mars, on her social media a day before its official release.[52] The single was released on 18 October to great commercial success, debuting atop both the Billboard Global 200 and the Global Excl. US. This marked Rosé's and Mars' second number-one single on either chart after "On the Ground" and "Die with a Smile", respectively.[53] In the United States, the song debuted at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100, making Rosé the first K-pop female act in history to have a top-ten entry on the chart.[54] On 22 November, she released "Number One Girl" as Rosie's second single.[55] "Toxic Till the End" was released as the third single alongside the album on 6 December.[56]
Live performances
[edit]On 22 November, Rosé presented the first live performance of "Apt." with Bruno Mars at the 2024 MAMA Awards in Osaka.[57] She later performed "Apt." with Lee Young-ji and "Number One Girl" on The Seasons: Lee Young-ji's Rainbow for the episode aired on 29 November.[58] On 3 December, she appeared on BBC Radio 1's Christmas Live Lounge 2024, performing "Apt." and a cover of "Last Christmas" by Wham!.[31][59]

Rosie generally received positive reviews from critics. Writing for Clash, Robin Murray positively labeled Rosie as a "solo triumph" and remarked that the record is full of "towering pop peaks" which cement Rosé's position as a global pop persona.[60] Meanwhile, Rolling Stone's Maura Johnston praised the album for its showcase of Rosé's solid songwriting, pop-savvy versatility, and her ability to package her disarming honesty into charming songs that allow for an "inviting listen".[62] NME's Crystal Bell similarly lauded the album's commitment to Rosé's authentic declaration of self, opining the stripped-back approach to be a bold move that trades "K-pop’s grandeur for intimate songwriting and emotional candour"; Bell also highlighted Rosé's versatile vocal performance throughout the record.[11]
Thematically, Jason Liphsutz of Billboard commented the album to be a "thoughtfully considered portrait of relationship complications and personal complexities", remarking that the collection "impressively [split] the difference between intimacy and arena-ready pop".[63] Jeff Benjamin of Billboard also defined Rosie as "a mosaic of the messy, beautiful chaos that defines one’s twenties," offering a deeper, more open look into Rosé's thoughts than her K-pop releases; he praised the album for letting fans into "Rosé's venting sessions and musical therapy appointments".[13] According to P. Claire Dodson, Sara Delgado, Donya Momenian, and Aiyana Ishmael from Teen Vogue, Rosie is a "cathartic album" that dives into Rosé's insecurities without fear.[64] Stephanee Wang of Paper summarised the record as a "capital-P pop album with shades of intimate Swiftian storytelling and cathartic, soaring hooks [where Rosé] paints a narrative of a love gone wrong".[7]
In a mixed review, Christina Jaleru of the Associated Press wrote the album to be "an emotional rollercoaster easy to empathise with", describing it as "heartfelt, but slightly sleepy". She also observed Rosé's solo material to be sonically different from that of her band, dubbing Rosie's tracks to be "that of a coffee-house dweller with a sideline in romantic drama", in contrast to Blackpink's high energy electro-pop output.[65] South Korean music critic Kim Do-heon noted that while the album follows the popular "formula of recent female singer-songwriters such as Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and Sabrina Carpenter," it lacks Rosé's unique identity.[66]
