In a recent chat on Apple Music's The Zane Lowe Show, BLACKPINK's Jennie spoke about making her solo album Ruby. She said that the process helped her get back in touch with herself. However, while discussing her album, Zane Lowe asked her about her bandmate, Rosé, and how she used her personal experiences to write her album, Rosie.
In response, Jennie said she saw Rosé deal with relationship problems and how those experiences shaped the songs. She shared:
"She did. And I was live and I heard everything live. So, you know, I know how sincere she was about every word that she has made. Yeah, I'm so proud of everyone.

Rosé's album Rosie is about heartbreak and growing as a person, showing what she went through in a tough relationship. In her own interview with Zane Lowe (released on December 4, 2024), Rosé talked about what inspired the song Toxic Till the End, which was first called The Ex.
The BLACKPINK member said the song came about because she knew it was time to talk about a relationship that her friends had heard about way too much, saying,
"That's almost actually was supposed to be called 'The Ex'. We started writing it being like, 'Oh my god, it's about time. We talked about 'The Ex' a bit too much. It's about time to rewrite a song called, 'The Ex'. But then we came up with a better punchline. So we put it in that section and I was like, 'I need to talk about it.'"
