In March 2021, Rosé made her solo debut with her single album R. The album sold 448,089 copies in its first week, the highest figure by a Korean female soloist. Its lead single "On the Ground" was a commercial success, peaking in the top five of South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart and becoming the highest-charting song by a Korean female soloist on the US Billboard Hot 100, the Canadian Hot 100, the ARIA Singles Chart and the UK Singles Chart. It was the first song by a Korean soloist to top the Billboard Global 200 and the most-viewed music video in 24 hours on YouTube by a Korean soloist, which earned Rosé two Guinness World Records. The album's second single "Gone" peaked in the top ten in South Korea as well. As a solo artist, she has featured in labelmate G-Dragon's 2012 track "Without You".

On s'fait couler les 100 palliers,
On s'r'met d'dans et comme une conne,
? A occupe les temps, les neurones
Puisque le monde dans notre dos continue de tourner ce salop
Pendant qu'on cr? Ve de trop d'm? Moire,
Pendant qu'la fi? Vre nous cloue dans l'noir
Qu'importe l'endroit, j'suis toujours? L'envers
Qu'importe mes choix, j'fais toujours le contraire
Ca fait mal, tellement mal,
Plus mal toujours,
Quand on s'empalle sur son amour
Je fais aller, je fais courir
De fausses id? Es, un faux sourire
J'ai des probl? Mes d'apesanteur, je sens qu'le ciel? Crase mon coeur
Alors comme? A les bras des autres
Accaparent tellement moins les n? Tres
Mais on est plus seuls que jamais,
Contre un corps nouveau
C'est secret, c'est secret
Refrain
Mon dieu c'est fou c'que j'peux l'aimer
Et apr? S tout qu'est ce que j'en sais
Je vis tr? S bien sa solitude
Mais quand il vient,
Je me d? Nude!
Mais c'est pareil, toujours pareil
On s'promet pas monts et merveilles
C'est mieux que rien, c'est pire que tout,
Mais au matin y'a plus de nous,
Plus de nous
Plus de nous
Plus de nous
Plus de nous

The song "A l'envers" by Rose speaks about the struggles of being in a complicated relationship that is filled with uncertainties and contradictions. The first verse talks about how the singer and their partner keep trying to make things work, but they constantly fall back into the same destructive patterns. They are preoccupied with their own thoughts and memories, unaware that the world around them keeps moving forward in spite of their turmoil.
The chorus of the song is a reflection of how the singer feels lost and uncertain about their life. They are always feeling upside down or backwards, unable to make the right choices or find their way. The pain of being trapped in a love that hurts them is overwhelming, and they feel helpless to escape its grasp.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's feelings of isolation and detachment. They seek comfort in the arms of others, but it only serves to magnify their sense of loneliness. The intense connection they feel with their partner is both a source of joy and pain, and they don't know how to make sense of it all. The last line of the song reveals that the relationship has ended, leaving the singer alone and adrift.
Overall, "A l'envers" is a poignant song that captures the complexity and contradictions of love. It speaks to the difficulties of navigating relationships that are fraught with emotional turmoil and uncertainty, and the pain of having to let go of someone who once meant everything.

The visuality of these 3 is dazzling. I love them like MC! MinNaHyun 💙 They also have the chemistry and complement each other perfect. I never thought I'd find on this planet, a being as bright and warm as Lee Minhyuk. No one shines as bright as he does. It's fun and comfortable to see. The best MC

Minhyuk 💙 ethereal beauty. He's just perfect. And as MC, he shines brighter than the sun. There's no better MC. Cute, funny, warm. Just seeing him fills you with happiness. I think if any requirements should have an MC, minhyuk bring them all together.
Fighting MinNaHyun 💙

Fear me Not
@Heize King idk why other fans are like that...
Heize King
@Fear me Not true, it's sad that fans always assume things and overreact all the time~ poor idols can't even breathe in the same room without fans getting crazy
Fear me Not
@Heize King probably it has to do with the fans, just like what happened to the Music Bank MCs, the fans thought something was going on because they were too close to each other, so they probably assumed something’s going on, I think these 3 are just trying to be more careful since most the fans are overreacting
