I don't think enough people know the power and significance of "number one girl" by Rosé

  • AllKill VIP

    Rosé was inspired to create "number one girl" after reading hate comments about her. It's not a song about craving a romantic interest's attention. It's a song about wanting to be perceived well by the fans and haters.


    Keep in mind the comments that hurt Rosé the most likely came from her own group's "fans." I don't even think these people should even consider themselves BLINKS. They constantly pitch the girls against each other and burn them out, potentially putting them at the brink of disbandment.


    They want to overwork them not because they appreciate the members' hard work or want new music to appreciate, but because they want to weaponize charting success to brag and retaliate against other fandoms.


    We're lucky Rosé, Jennie, Lisa, and Jisoo are strong enough to stay above that.


    I want people to listen to this song and try to really feel what Rosé felt.

    ROSÉ of BLACKPINK Says ‘Number One Girl’ Was Inspired by Reading Hate Comments About Herself
    BLACKPINK's ROSE said that reading hate comments inspired her new song "Number One Girl." Get the details.

    This song is truly a master class in Reductio ad Absurdum.

    I have naught more to say.


    Edit: ok I lied so here's an addendum.

    In the premise of the song Rose assumes the haters comments premise are true by singing in a perspective that mirrors the "Rose" that is the version of the haters. Now - as a listener, one would think that this might be a love song, but knowing that's not true, the question arises like these:
    - "who is she singing to that she's so desperate for attention from?"
    - "who in the world would be so desperate for that attention?"
    The fact that these questions arise means that each person for each question is unknown, or that it doesn't exist.

    Thus, the comments that inspired her song, that painted her into that premise, the perspective she sang from in the song, is absurd and is not true.


    Edit2: I only listened twice. But the song was extremely clear and stern in its message.

    I thought she was going to say, “Tell me I have a big butt/BACK IT UP with evidence”..Just had to get that off of my brain.


    I like the intentionality in her art. It def. hits the heart. It captures a moment in time of feeling a certain way to later reflect on and realize that she doesn’t need anybody to tell her these things as all these qualities already belong to her. “Standing in your power with silent confidence” I call it.


    This song hits in the same place as Marie Digby’s “Miss Invisible”.
