Born in 1989 in Long Island, Rose grew up in Center Moriches, New York. The daughter of two artists, Rose began writing songs and poems at age 13. Rose attended Wellesley College in Massachusetts, where she graduated in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in architecture.
In 2012, Rose and producer/multi-instrumentalist Jer Coons launched a Kickstarter to fund the production of Rose's first album America Religious. The album, blending American folk music, country, and rockabilly styles was self-published later that year. Two years later, Rose released her first nationally distributed album, I Will Not Be Afraid on Little Hi! Records. Like the first album, it was produced with Jer Coons and featured music in a variety of Americana musical styles, including two songs previously released on America Religious.
Following the release of I Will Not Be Afraid, Rose took an extended hiatus from touring and releasing new material, while she explored new musical directions that would broaden her sound. After three years, numerous personnel changes, a signing to mother + Pop Music, and a switch to New West Records, Rose released her third album. The new album, Loner, was co-produced by Rose and Paul Butler of The Bees, and represented a radical shift away from the musical style of her previous work, blending pop and alternative rock elements, and incorporating prominent synthesizers throughout. Notably, this album also saw a change in lyrical tone, incorporating a number of overtly humorous, sarcastic, and satirical songs. Although Rose played most of the instruments on the album, she formed a new band to perform on tour.
Prior to Loner's release, Rose released "Money" and "Soul No. 5" with accompanying music videos. Rose released a music video for "Jeannie Becomes a Mom" on October 17, 2018. The video, which was directed by Amanda Speva, features Abby Pierce as the titular character, depicting Jeannie moving into a new home, performing a dance routine with the movers, and preparing a rainbow Jell-O cake. The song was ranked the fifteenth-best single of the year by National Public Radio.
On January 7, 2020, Rose announced a new album called Superstar, releasing a single and a music video for the song "Feel The Way I Want". The video was shot on an iPhone over the course of an 11-day roadtrip from Hollywood, California to Hollywood, Florida, documenting the protagonist's journey after she travels to the wrong Hollywood for an audition. According to Rose, the album is a "cinematic pop album that tells a story of someone who leaves behind everything she knows and loves in search for something bigger and more glamorous. It's a story about losing yourself but also finding the brazen self-confidence to follow a dream." The album Superstar was released on March 6, 2020, and Caroline Rose made her television debut on February 24, 2020, performing "Feel The Way I Want" on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Animal
Caroline Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
He turns her over slowly, taking in the scent
Of her hair, as her breath rests upon his neck
Feeling the weight of her flesh upon his chest
Her blood in mine
Running through my veins like a real live wire
I don't know why I cannot let this go
It's building up inside of me
Over and over and over and over
Two bodies moving in sync
I turn it over and over and over and over
Like an animal
Like an animal
It boils over in my mind
The heat from underneath the sheets pours out his eye
That feeling, the burning with every kiss upon her skin
As her hands, they reach for every inch of him
Feeling my fire
Running through my veins like a high desire
I don't know why I cannot let this go
It's building up inside of me
Over and over and over and over
Two bodies moving in sync
I turn it over and over and over and over
Like an animal
Like an animal
Her blood in mine
Running through my veins like a real live wire
I don't know why
Like an animal
An animal

He puts his hand inside of hers
He turns her over slowly, taking in the scent
Of her hair, as her breath rests upon his neck
Feeling the weight of her flesh upon his chest
Her blood in mine
Running through my veins like a real live wire
I don't know why I cannot let this go
It's building up inside of me
Over and over and over and over
Two bodies moving in sync
I turn it over and over and over and over
Like an animal
Like an animal
It boils over in my mind
The heat from underneath the sheets pours out his eye
That feeling, the burning with every kiss upon her skin
As her hands, they reach for every inch of him
Feeling my fire
Running through my veins like a high desire
I don't know why I cannot let this go
It's building up inside of me
Over and over and over and over
Two bodies moving in sync
I turn it over and over and over and over
Like an animal

Her blood in mine
Running through my veins like a real live wire
I don't know why

One of my favorite albums because of the artwork and music and theme.... It's great
Caleb Welch
Highly fucking underappreciated album that from bikini to soul no.5 to talk to smile, and even the album cover, is a highly introspective and thematic album. Fucking love it.
