Blackpink singer Rosé recently released her highly anticipated solo album R. The Korean pop artist made her solo debut with the project lead by her single On The Ground. Rosé, a member of the all-female South Korean artists group, released her new solo track on March 12.

The Korean-Australian artist garnered 41.6million views with On The Ground and set the record of YouTube views in 24 hours by a solo K-pop artist. She broke the record previously set by Korean singer PSY a decade ago with his song Gangnam Style, of 36 million views.

As per reports, Rosé believes every song has a language that right for it and for her songs Gone and On The Ground, it was English. In Blackpink's online concert The Show, the singer performed on Gone, giving her fans a glimpse of her solo debut.

Speaking of her recently released track, the Korean idol said, “The reason I feel inclined to it, is because of how much it matches my life one-dimensionally. From when I was a trainee, I lived day to day, running towards my dreams".

“Once in a while, there are moments where I’d question my motives, and I think the lyrics express this really well. I think this is something to learn from as well,” she added.

On 16 March, Rosé performed an elaborate choreography on her new song on Jimmy Fallon's talk show The Tonight Show.

Earlier, she took to Instagram to share the news with her followers. Ahead of her album, the K-pop star will treat her fans with an online fan meet on 20 and 21 March. The event is supposed to include 20 fans, conducted in both English and Korean, who can buy their tickets from KTown4u.
