On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, Apple Music host Zane Lowe posted a clip of BLACKPINK's Rosé addressing her past toxic relationship in The Zane Lowe Show. The episode will be aired on December 4, 2024, ahead of her debut solo album, Rosie, releasing on December 6.
In the teaser clip, Rosé expressed how she once wrote a song, The Ex, inspired by her personal relationship experience.
"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.'"

She shared that she was stuck in a horrible relationship for years, which she believes she never "deserved." She conveyed her appreciation for having reached a point in her life when she no longer felt the need to discuss it and was able to produce an album.
"I think that was like something that was living with me for a few years. I personally don't think I deserved it but it was there. Like, I am actually shocked that today I can wake up and be like I can actually don't talk about it anymore. Because I am grateful that I got to do this album because I used to talk about it so much."
