Following her hit single "APT" with Bruno Mars, BLACKPINK's Rosé returned with another pre-release track before she drops her full album 'Rosie,' showcasing a more introspective and emotionally resonant side.

On November 22, Rosé released "Number One Girl," a slow pop track that expresses a girl’s longing to be someone’s top priority. At first listen, the song comes across as a heartfelt serenade about a girl yearning for love from her significant other. 

However, it was revealed that Rosé wrote the song when she found herself unable to sleep after reading malicious comments online. Moreover, Rosé dedicated the song to everyone who wants to simply be loved. She wrote on her Instagram "This one is for every girl (and boy) who dreams to be somebody's number."

English lyrics from Genie:

Tell me that I’m special
Tell me I look pretty
Tell me I’m a little angel
Sweetheart of your city
Say what I’m dying to hear
Cause I’m dying to hear you

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

Isn’t it lonely
I’d do anything to make you want me
I’d give it all up if you told me
That I’d be
The number one girl in your eyes
Your one and only
So what’s it gon’ take for you to want me
I’d give it all up if you told me
That I’d be
The number one girl in your eyes

Tell me I’m going real big places
Down to earth so friendly
And even through all the phases
Tell me you accept me
Well that’s all I’m dying to hear
Yeah I’m dying to hear you

Tell me that you need me
Tell me that I’m loved
Tell me that I’m worth it
And that I’m enough
I need it and I don’t know why
This late at night

Isn’t it lonely
I’d do anything to make you want me
I’d give it all up if you told me
That I’d be
The number one girl in your eyes

Your one and only
So what’s it gon’ take for you to want me
I’d give it all up if you told me
That I’d be
The number one girl in your eyes

The girl in your eyes
The girl in your eyes
Tell me I’m the number one girl
I’m the number one girl in your eyes
The girl in your eyes
The girl in your eyes
Tell me I’m the number one girl
I’m the number one girl in your eyes

Well isn’t it lonely
I’d do anything to make you want me
I’d give it all up if you told me
That I’d be
The number one girl in your eyes

Your one and only
So what’s it gon’ take for you to want me
I’d give it all up if you told me
That I’d be
The number one girl in your eyes
The number one girl in your eyes
