When it did, I was shocked.” Rosé said.

I don't think I knew what I was searching for, but I was looking for validation and, wow, it was a lonely world that night on the internet. And as I was writing the song, I felt there must be so many other girls who experienced this. I just want people to know that I'm no different.” Rosé answered.
