[@truenoae8689]

Yeah, but the whole point of the song is that isn't what's important to her

[@SkyBlueRose15]

Why are you just ignoring the fact that after she says "And they say I've made it now" she says "But I figured it out everything I need is on the ground" Meaning she doesn't care about being famous or being way up high in a thing that doesn't even matter to her which is fame, there is also so many other lyrics in On The Ground that obviously are saying that being a Kpop star isn't what she thought it would be. (Examples) "Funny when you want it suddenly you have it you'd find out that your golds just plastic". "I worked my whole life just to get high just to realize everything I need is on the ground". "My life's been magic "seems" fantastic" and that's just a few lyrics to name but there's a bunch more. Also when she was in the middle dressed in black and the other Rosé's were in white below her it's said "Roses are dead" Love is "Fake" which could mean the love she receives from some fans are fake, and she really can only receive true love from her family and friends, not some random people THAT SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW shouting "I LOVE YOU ROSÉ!" It's just fake.

well if Rosé have released these songs a long time ago it wouldn't have been big as it is now. she wouldn't have been able to break any records or few people may have heard her song, she couldn't have this kind of interview either. you see they invested a lot on her make sure it has a touch of her in everything cause they knew fans would love it anyway or the other. releasing music especially from Teddy is a big risk and money Teddy after all is one of the most expensive producers in kpop or much more. so blaming the company of holding their songs or them is unfair why not give them the benefit of the doubt. after all they are also one of the reasons why we appreciate Blackpink's music because no matter how long the waiting is but they make it WORTH the WAIT ALL THE TIME! they give quality content in everything.
