ROSÉ, Number One Girl: the song lyrics & their meaning

ROSÉ is back with a new song, Number One Girl: a romantic track with intense lyrics, let’s explore their meaning.

ROSÉ has all intentions of ruling autumn 2024 with her music. After the vast success of APT, her sensational collaboration with Bruno Mars, the Blackpink singer returned at the end of November with a new song, Number One Girl, a romantic ballad that has melted everyone’s heart. Fans have delved into the lyrics, trying to understand who she’s talking to. In this article, we’ll explore the song’s authentic meaning, and you’ll also find the official video and the complete lyrics at the end.

Number One Girl: the song lyrics & their meaning

Number One Girl is a song about a romantic relationship where you need to feel special: in the lyrics, ROSÉ is talking to someone she loves, hoping to be their “one and only,” the girl who comes first in their heart.

Fans have been wondering who the singer is talking to. We don’t know for sure the identity of this person, and the fan base even wondered if ROSÈ is actually talking to her fans, or even to herself. However, the lyrics seem pretty straightforward: she’s in love, she needs to feel special, she would do anything to be “the number one girl in your eyes”:

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

Sometimes, we enter a connection with someone, and our feelings are up to the sky. What we feel is so intense that we often realize our love is unrequited: it can happen for many reasons, but not always the special one for us feels the same about us. This is what ROSÉ reflects on in her song. Will I ever have the most important place in their heart? Will they ever love me as much as I love them?

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

Being enough, being the only one, being special. Nevertheless, love is often a fluid emotion, without a well-defined shape, and we must take it as it comes. We enjoy what it triggers inside ourselves and ride it, resisting the urge to label it. All these questions arise spontaneously, and it’s ok to get lost in them or write a song about all this. Still, ultimately, it’s about being in the present, enjoying what we have, and adjusting our expectations to what happens every day. We have all been in a similar situation, haven’t we?

ROSÉ - number one girl (official music video)

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
