After the release of Rose (Blackpink)'s MV "Toxic Till The End", fans are hunting for the identity of the guy introduced as the singer's ex-lover.
Rose once affirmed in an interview that the pain of a toxic relationship with an ex has had a big impact on her life and most of the songs in Rose's solo album "rosie" are based on this personal experience.
In "Toxic Till The End", Rose described her ex as a type of person who is "incubating, possessing" and "ters the psychology in a sophisticated way".
Notably, Rose introduced a segment that she found most interesting in the album, which was also the lyrics of "Toxic Till The End": "I can forgive you a lot, when you don't return me the Tiffany ring. But there is one thing I cannot forgive, you have wasted my most beautiful years.
The song "you don't return me the Tiffany ring" has caused a stir on social networks. Many fans simultaneously left "fighting" comments for the Blackpink singer, criticizing her ex-lover for being a scammer and a bad guy.
However, in a recent interview, Rose explained more clearly the lyrics of the song "Toxic Till The End". She said: "No one stole my Tiffany ring. That was just a detail I created myself. Everyone was curious, who stole her ring?
The content I want to focus on is the song after I made you waste the most beautiful years. He didn't steal my Tiffany ring.
I used a lot of metaphorical images as well as personal experiences to describe a toxic relationship that any of us can encounter.
Rose's inclusion of unreal details in songs about her ex-lover caused controversy.
Some opinions say that this affects guys who are suspected of being Rose's ex-lover (such as Jaden Smith, Jungkook), when many fans have exaggerated and made vulgar comments to "squeeze out rings" for their idols.
However, other opinions say that using metaphors and fictional details in music products is very normal and has been done by many other artists.
There is a comment explaining that Tiffany & Co. is the brand that Rose is taking on the role of global ambassador, Tiffany is also famous for wedding rings, so Rose's lyrics have a metaphor, forgiving her ex-lover even though he cannot give her a wedding ring (a happy ending in love).
