New Zealand singer Rose is back with new solo music.
Rose directed the "Number One Girl" video, which shows her perform at night at different locations in Seoul, including a skate park.
"Tell me I'm that new thing / Tell me that I'm relevant / Tell me that I got a big heart / Then back it up with evidence / I need it and I don't know why / This late at night," she sings.
The song expresses Rose's need for validation from the public, as she discussed in an interview with i-D.
"I had been on the internet 'til like 5 a.m. -- I couldn't sleep because I was so obsessed with what these people were gonna say about me and what I wanted them to say about me," she shared. "I was so disgusted at myself for it -- I never wanted to admit it to anyone, I didn't even want to admit it to myself. But I had to be fully honest in the studio.""Number One Girl" appears on Rose's first full-length solo album, Rosie. The album is slated for release Dec. 6.
Rosie also features the single "Apt." with Bruno Mars, released in October. The album is Rose's follow-up to her 2021 debut single album, R.
