Rosé grew up in Melbourne, Australia, where she developed a passion for music from an early age. She learned to play the piano and guitar and sang in a church choir. In 2012, she placed first in a YG Entertainment audition held in Australia before moving to South Korea for four years of training. On August 8, 2016, she officially debuted with BLACKPINK, which went on to become one of the world's most popular K-pop groups.

On March 12, 2021, she launched her solo career with the single album R, featuring On the Ground.

On December 6 of that year, she released her first studio album, rosie, contributing to the songwriting of every track.
