Lowe was born into a very musical family in Devon in 1990. She started playing music from a very young age (5) and this continued throughout her education in to what is now her career. Training in jazz, Rosie studied music throughout her education where she moved to London in 2007 to complete a Popular Music degree at Goldsmiths University.
After leaving Goldsmiths University, Rosie signed to Domino publishing, wrote and released her first EP entitled "Right Thing" (via 37 Adventures) in December 2013. She co-produced this with producers Dave Okumu and Kwes.
After a period away from the limelight, in November 2018 she released the single "The Light" and announced her forthcoming second album YU and some 2019 tour dates.
Critics describe Lowe's music as "Effortless R&B beats, experimental electronica, minimalism, the art of understatement."
Towards the end of 2014, she released her 1st single "Water Came Down", and 2nd single "How'd You Like It" from her debut album Control which was released in 2016.
Right Thing
Rosie Lowe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The notes we left and pillows there in a box
Makes them all good memories
What's been and gone
What's gone is history
And now you're close
I remember all the good things
Like I've woken up from a crazy dream
I've awoke
And I am a fool
For letting you go
I thought I made the right choice
Then you came
In spite of me
We're what remains
And you are beautiful
Thought I made the right choice
Then you came
Am I to blame?
Did I lose this game?
You are beautiful
When things got tough
I flew a million miles like a shooting star
I have to get as far I could go
But I ignored
Everything
You're everything
And now you're close
And talking about you, you know I'm so happy for
You deserve everything that's good
But I feel such a fool
For letting you go
I thought I made the right choice
Then you came
In spite of me
We're what remains
You are beautiful
Thought I made the right choice
Then you came
Am I to blame?
Did I lose this game?
You are beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
I thought I made the right choice
And then you came
In spite of me
We're what remains
You are beautiful
Thought I made the right choice
Then you came
Am I to blame?
Did I lose this game?
You are beautiful
I thought I made the right choice
Then you came
Am I to blame?
Did I lose this game?
You are beautiful
You are beautiful
In "Right Thing," Rosie Lowe explores the regret and longing that often comes after a relationship has ended. The lyrics are a reflection on the past, in which Lowe acknowledges the positive memories she still holds onto, represented by the notes and pillows left behind by a former partner. She then contrasts those memories with the present, where she is reunited with this person and reminded of how wonderful things were before. Despite the fact that she thought she made the "right choice" in ending the relationship, being close to this person again causes Lowe to reconsider her decision and wonder whether she could have changed the outcome.
The chorus is an admission of her flawed judgment and her regret at letting this person go. Throughout the song, Lowe's lyrics are introspective and emotional, reflecting on the difficulty of moving on from a relationship and the pain that comes with realizing the possibility of something more. The use of the phrase "you are beautiful" repeatedly throughout the chorus is an affirmation of the love and admiration she still holds for this person, despite the fact that they are no longer together.
