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.[1][2] 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.[3][4] 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.[5]

Conception and title

edit

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.[6] 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.[7] 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.[8] The album 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".[9][8]

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."[9] In an interview with i-d, the reporter described the album as featuring 12 polished pop tracks that span from stuttering 90s-style R&B to shiny synthpop and raw ballads. Throughout, Rosé explores the excitement and heartache of her early 20s, showcasing her ability to capture the complexities of youthful emotion.[10]

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.[11] On 27 September, after announcing her signed deal with Atlantic Records, she introduced a new Instagram account (@vampirehollie), naming it after the unreleased track.[12] Shortly thereafter, on 1 October, Rosé announced that her first studio album Rosie would be released on 6 December.[13] The announcement was accompanied by a post of the album cover, which depicts a close up of the singer lying down with blonde curls.[13]

In November, Rosé hosted an album listening party for her fans in Seoul.[14] The tracklist was revealed on November 25, 2024.[15] Limited vinyl editions of Rosie contain the exclusive bonus track "Vampirehollie".[16] On November 28, News1 reported that Rosé had filmed her first interview for JTBC's Newsroom. In the episode airing on 1 December, she will discuss the success of her hit song "Apt", her collaboration with Bruno Mars, and the challenges of creating her upcoming full-length album.[17]

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.[18] 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.[19] 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.[20] On 22 November, she released "Number One Girl" as Rosie's second single.[21]
