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.
Someone New
Caroline Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm alive and the day is a-new
Get myself out of bed
Comb my hair
Scrape the dirt off my shoes
I paint all the walls, buy a new set of sheets
And I purge every memory of you left in me
'Cause the word on the street is
You found someone new
And she looks just like me
Not thanks to you, I
Question everything
But let me make this easy for you
I'll become someone new
Starting today I shed my skin
Begin again
Ruthless, cutthroat
Breaking bread with evil men
Next time we meet you'll hardly recognize me
A stranger with a face that you swear you'd seen
'Cause the word on the street is
You found someone new
And she looks just like me
No thanks to you, I
Question everything
And everyone
I've ever loved
You got what you wanted
A better version of me then
I could ever be
We all know, you just like all of them
So let me make this easy for you
I'll become someone new
Let me make this easy for you
I'll become someone new
In "Someone New" by Caroline Rose, the lyrics depict a story of personal transformation and empowerment after a breakup. The song opens with the singer awakening to a new day filled with possibilities, symbolizing a fresh start. They take proactive steps to remove any remnants of their past relationship, such as painting the walls and replacing their belongings. However, despite their efforts, they still feel a sense of bitterness, evident in the line "each time I smile, I grit my teeth."
The chorus highlights the rumor that the ex-partner has moved on and found someone new, who happens to resemble the singer. This revelation triggers a cascade of emotions and self-reflection within the singer. They begin to question everything, perhaps doubting their own worth or the authenticity of love. Despite the emotional turmoil, they express their determination to create a new identity, stating "I'll become someone new" as a testament to their desire for personal growth and self-reinvention.
Continuing in the second verse, the singer portrays themselves as shedding their old identity and embracing a ruthless and cutthroat attitude towards life. They describe associating with "evil men" and forewarn their ex-partner that when they cross paths again, they will hardly be recognizable. This transformation is exemplified by the description of a stranger with a familiar face, introducing an element of mystery and intrigue.
The bridge of the song emphasizes the singer's realization that their ex-partner's desire was to find a better version of them, echoing a theme of inadequacy or not being enough. However, the singer challenges this notion and acknowledges that their ex-partner, like all the others, is after a similar ideal. In the final repetition of the chorus, the singer reiterates their commitment to becoming someone new, offering a statement of empowerment and defiance.
Overall, "Someone New" explores themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the complexities of love and personal relationships. Caroline Rose's lyrics capture the emotional journey of an individual finding strength and embracing change in the aftermath of a breakup.
Line by Line Meaning
I open my eyes
I am waking up to a new reality
I'm alive and the day is a-new
I am full of life and embracing a fresh start
Get myself out of bed
I am motivating myself to take action
Comb my hair
I tidy up and take care of my appearance
Scrape the dirt off my shoes
I am leaving behind any past mistakes or negativity
I paint all the walls, buy a new set of sheets
I am redecorating my surroundings as a symbol of change
And I purge every memory of you left in me
I am getting rid of all the memories I have of you
And now each time I smile, I grit my teeth
I am forcing myself to smile through the pain
'Cause the word on the street is
There is a rumor going around
You found someone new
You have moved on and found a new partner
And she looks just like me
Your new partner resembles me
Not thanks to you, I
I don't credit you for my transformation
Question everything
I am skeptical of everything now
But let me make this easy for you
I will simplify things for your understanding
I'll become someone new
I'll change and become a different person
Starting today I shed my skin
From today onwards, I am leaving my old self behind
Begin again
I am starting fresh
Ruthless, cutthroat
I will be merciless and relentless
Breaking bread with evil men
I will associate with unsavory characters in pursuit of my goals
Next time we meet you'll hardly recognize me
When we meet again, you won't be able to recognize who I've become
A stranger with a face that you swear you'd seen
I will be a stranger, yet familiar in some way to you
'Cause the word on the street is
There is a rumor going around
You found someone new
You have moved on and found a new partner
And she looks just like me
Your new partner resembles me
No thanks to you, I
I don't credit you for my transformation
Question everything
I am skeptical of everything now
And everyone
I am doubtful of everyone I come across
I've ever loved
I even question the love I have experienced
You got what you wanted
You achieved what you desired
A better version of me then
You obtained an improved version of me
I could ever be
That I could never attain
We all know, you just like all of them
It is clear to everyone that you are just like your previous partners
So let me make this easy for you
I will simplify things for your understanding
I'll become someone new
I'll change and become a different person
Let me make this easy for you
I will simplify things for your understanding
I'll become someone new
I'll change and become a different person
