Released on November 22, the track is part of the pre-release lineup for her upcoming full album Rosie. The slow pop ballad explores themes of longing, love, and emotional vulnerability, resonating deeply with fans.

Song’s Meaning and Personal Backstory

The song was inspired by a personal moment when she struggled with insomnia after reading malicious comments online. Through her music, she extends a heartfelt message to anyone seeking love and validation.

In an Instagram post, Rosé shared:

“This one is for every girl (and boy) who dreams to be somebody’s number.”

Lyrics Reflecting Vulnerability

The song’s lyrics poignantly convey a sense of longing and self-doubt. Some lines include:

“Tell me I’m special / Tell me I look pretty / Tell me I’m a little angel / Sweetheart of your city.”

“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.”

The raw emotion in Rosé’s voice combined with these heartfelt lyrics has left a lasting impact on listeners.

Full 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
