Starting at age sixteen, Rose began work on her debut album, Because I Can, for V2 Records. The record's lead single, Overdrive, was released on October 21, 2003 with the album following on January 27, 2004. The album was met with mixed critical reception and moderate success leading to only one other single being released, I Like. In addition to this, Rose was also featured on the soundtracks of the films Mean Girls and Thirteen.
In 2005, Rose parted ways with V2 Records. She then started work on her band project, Candy Eyed, which was released on June 4, 2007 under independent record label, River Jones Music. Rose parted ways with the label shortly after the albums release for unknown reasons. Following her second partition, Rose started work on a third album titled Tangled But True. The album was expected to be released in 2009 under a new Japanese label, but was ultimately shelved. Currently Rose is in the process of recording a new album set to be released sometime this year.

so don't say I have to cry on
one more freezing floor
I ask you to open the door
and see how things could have gone
The reason that it took so long
before you could figure out
that for so long I was about to break
from harming me and now I'm searchin back to see
how I never tried to ask for some sympathy
'cause no- nobody wants to ride with me too far
'cause I might trip away
but in your arms I'd rather stay
You might just turn into something I like
You might just turn into something I like
You might just turn into something I li-li-li-li-li-li-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
You might just turn into something I
Want to dream about
Something I can't live without
My foot is in your hand
I want you to understand
how I could be confused
right after being used
but still your here in spite
when I close my eyes to dream at night
I've gotta keep my pants on
I gotta check my pulse before I've gone too far away
to hurt so i think I'll stay around to hear ya breath
saying all those words to me
unraveling my fantasy while I drink
my oleander tea
You might just turn into something I like
You might just turn into something I like
You might just turn into something I li-li-li-li-li-li-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
You might just turn into something I liii.... Yea-yea-ea-ea-ea-aa
You might just tur into something I like
You might just turn into something I like
You might just turn into something I
The song "I Like" by Katy Rose is a story of a woman who has been through a lot of pain and is now searching for someone who can make her feel loved and safe. She asks the person to open the door and see how things could have gone because for a long time, she was about to break and there were no arms to keep her from harming herself. She never tried to ask for sympathy because nobody wants to ride with her too far. However, she wants to dream about something she can't live without and hopes that the person she is with might just turn into something she likes.
The lyrics are filled with poignant imagery that expresses the pain and loneliness that the singer has felt for a very long time. The freezing floor, the absence of arms to keep her from harming herself signify the complete isolation that she has been going through. When she says "I've gotta keep my pants on, I gotta check my pulse before I've gone too far away to hurt," it shows how deeply ingrained her pain has become and how she is always on the brink of self-destruction. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the chorus where she says "You might just turn into something I like" which shows her faith in the person she is with and her hope that they might be able to provide her with the love and warmth that she so desperately needs.

To avoid causing harm or pain, I will stick around and focus on the calming and reassuring presence of my partner
saying all those words to me
I find comfort and reassurance in the words and sentiments expressed by my partner
unraveling my fantasy while I drink
With the aid of a substance, I am able to escape reality and indulge in my imagination or desires
my oleander tea
This substance is likely an allusion to a poisonous plant used in certain cultures for medicinal or hallucinogenic purposes

Short Blog by Nate B. on Artist Katy Rose:
Katy Rose = I'm Just me. thanks. I might just have turned into something You Like ... 13 years later. "I don't just sit around and think; Hey, how can I be different from Everyone else!" On That Bombshell Someone has been doing just that. How can this girl exist? I've the largest vocabulary at school, lazy, but smart, dress preppy and or stylish but goth punk cabaret emo core heart on sleeve wearing lemon loving sugar needing; empathic loving yet selfish lonely misunderstood, 4x4 driving, quad racing, nerd. yet still there's another voice out there who has shown me her C# major key addicting, jaded adult alternative pop punk sophistication beyond our years. she's been exposed to artists and musicians that some of which I won't discover for over another decade. and the tally has increased on both our lists. The New York Post compared her to James Dean in Rebel without a cause. She's more East of Eden. And Audrey Hepburn or Lana Turner is a more fitting comparison
if the song Edge of Seventeen hadn't been taken she may have even used it for a song. Blondie, The Wilson Sisters, Joan Jett, Patti Smith, The Gogos, The Bengals, Tiffany, Goldfrap, Garbage aka Shirley Manson, Butch Vig - Bleach aka Kurt Donald Cobain. Her friend - Fiona Apple whom has inspired the perpetuation of Anti-VMA's since 1996 with the phrase "This is Bullshit"Referring to the mainstream music industry and their focus on Pop Culture identity maintaining the status quo using the song "Criminal" to this day for anything and everything in the name of monitary gain. which should be a criminal offense.
ย She shares similar lyrics, key tonality and personas. including Courtney Love , Sarah Hudson, Ana Nalick, Skylar Grey, Fefe Dobson, Lillix, Skye Sweetnam, Stefy, Ani Difranco , Meg and Dia Frampton, Cherri Bomb, Liz Phair, Megan McCauley, Bonnie Mckee. ETC!!!!
Her Name is Katie and she is unique meaning this Katy is the only human being on planet earth Just Like Her.
On that note I'll leave you with a good song!
