Rose has just released her second single called "Number one girl" after the resounding success of her hit "APT." featuring Bruno Mars.
According to Paper and i-D magazines, the song expresses her desire to become the number one girl in the eyes of the audience after Rose read malicious comments "I can't sleep because I'm so obsessed with what people say about me, and what I want them to think or say about me".
The song will be included in the album Rosie - Roses first album in her career. The media evaluated the success of this album as a test to answer the question of whether Rose is capable of becoming an independent artist.
At the livestream on November 14, Rose listened to 6 songs in advance: "Number One Girl", "Game Boy", "Toxic Till The End", "3AM", "Not The same" and "2 Years".
All songs have Roses participation in composing. That is something she rarely had the opportunity to show when working with Blackpink.
Some audiences commented that Rose's musical color is reminiscent of Taylor Swift when she first debuted. Both of them composed sad love songs, associated with the image of a girl holding a guitar and singing about a broken love.
The way Rose composed autocratic songs such as Gone, On the ground and most recently One number girl was compared to Taylor Swift - the singer known as the story queen.
Rose's new album has 15 songs - a fairly large number for a debut solo album. The number 15 reminds the audience of Taylor Swift's "super album" The Tortured Poets Department with 16 tracks and then continued to release 15 more songs with the extended title TTPD: The Anthology.
Both of these albums are about unsuccessful love affairs, leaving a sense of grief and regret for the girl. The song "Number one girl" clearly shows this spirit, and it is not difficult to find that feeling of torment and loneliness in Taylor Swift's compositions.
Taylor Swift is someone who has had a big influence on Rose's solo career. The Blackpink member has idolised Taylor Swift since childhood.
The two first met at the post-2022 VMAS awards ceremony, Taylor had a photo taken with Rose and Sabrina Carpenter.
Rose also attended Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour" concert in Singapore and burst into tears when listening to the song "22".
Recently, Rose revealed that in the process of composing new songs, she was helped by Taylor Swift.
I said I was a huge fan of hers, and I had some questions. As soon as she met me, she said, let me help you.
She shared her experiences with me and was very willing to help me. She gave me her number and said, Let me know if you have any questions.
I was really grateful to her during the time I was a little weak. She is a wonderful person, truly the girl of every girl. She advised me, make sure about this, that, and that, be very careful," Rose shared.
