On 1 October 2024, Rosé announced that her first studio album Rosie would be released on 6 December.[1] The announcement was accompanied by a post of the album cover, which depicts a close up of the singer lying down with blonde curls.[1] Comprising 12 tracks, Rosie has been described to represent "a burst of honesty" from the singer, showcasing Rosé as a co-writer and co-producer of the entire record.[2]
Explaining the album title, Rosé revealed that she had chosen Rosie, the name she allowed "friends and family to call [her]", to express her desire for listeners to feel closer to her.[3] 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'sBorn Pink World Tour, leading to a year of writing songs and meeting new producers while still feeling "confused and lost".[4]
