In a recent interview with PAPER Magazine, Rosé, a member of the globally renowned K-pop group BLACKPINK, opened up about her personal experiences with toxic relationships and how they influence her music. As she prepares for the release of her forthcoming solo album titled ‘rosie,’ Rosé emphasizes the importance of relatability in her songwriting, particularly addressing the emotional complexities faced by individuals in their twenties.
Rosé, now 23 years old, reflects on her past relationships, noting, “I think I’m grateful enough to have gone through a few relationships, you know, like a normal girl in her 20s.” This candid admission highlights her desire for listeners to connect with her on a personal level. By sharing her experiences, she aims to dismantle the often glamorized perception of celebrity life, asserting that she, too, navigates the ups and downs of young adulthood.
The lyrics in her upcoming album delve into various themes surrounding toxic relationships, encompassing not only romantic entanglements but also platonic connections. Rosé states, “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.” This perspective resonates with a wide audience, especially among her peers, who may find solace in her music as they confront their own challenges.
Moreover, Rosé articulates the emotional turmoil often experienced during one’s twenties, describing this decade as a time filled with vulnerability and confusion. “Your 20s is not an easy time to live through. It’s when you’re very vulnerable and confused, excited and angry about life. That’s what I wanted to sing about,” she explains. This acknowledgment of the emotional landscape of young adulthood adds depth to her artistic expression, making her work not only relatable but also a potential source of comfort for listeners facing similar struggles.
