Apakah "toxic till the end" Rosé Akan Sesukses "APT"? Ini Liriknya!

Call us what we are
Toxic from the start
Can't pretend that I was in the dark
When you met my friends
Didn't even try with them
I should've known it then that you were

Jealous and possessive
So manipulating
Honestly impressive
You had me participating

Back then
When I was running out of your place I said
I never wanna see your face
And then
I couldn't wait to see it again
We were toxic till the end

Uh huh
Cuz even when I said it was over
You heard baby can you pull me in closer
You were
Plotting how to stay in my head
We were toxic till the end

ladies and gentlemen
I present to you the ex

His favorite game is chess
Who would ever guess
Playing with the pieces in my chest
Now he's on the screen
Saying don't leave
You stole that line from me
Cuz you're just

Jealous and possessive
So manipulating
Honestly impressive
You had me participating

Back then
When I was running out of your place
I said
I never wanna see your face
I meant
I couldn't wait to see it again
We were toxic till the end

Uh huh
Cuz even when I said it was over
You heard baby can you pull me in closer
You were
Plotting how to stay in my head
We were toxic till the end, end, end

I can't forgive you for a lot of things
For not giving me back my Tiffany rings
I'll never forgive you for one thing my dear
You wasted my prettiest years

Back then
When I was running out of your place I said
I never wanna see your face
I meant
I couldn't wait to see it again
We were toxic

Uh huh
Cuz even when I said it was over
You heard baby can you pull me in closer
You were
Plotting how to stay in my head
We were toxic till the end

End end
We were toxic till the end, end, end

Lagu "toxic till the end" ditulis sendiri oleh Rosé berdasarkan kisah asmara yang pernah dijalaninya. Di lagu yang awalnya berjudul "The Ex" tersebut, tapi ia berpikir ulang dan menggantinya dengan judul yang sekarang, karena ia merasa lagu tersebut memiliki dampak yang lebih kuat.

Dalam liriknya, ia menyebut sifat cemburu, posesif dan manipulatif sang mantanlah yang menjadi pemicu utamanya. Rosé juga menceritakan bahwa sang mantan tak mengembalikan cincin Tiffany miliknya, hal yang membuat Rosé membenci mantannya karena melakukan hal yang tidak termaafkan. Namun, Rosé mencoba memberikan kesempatan dengan harapan sang mantan akan berubah, walau akhirnya keduanya harus berpisah.

Melalui lagu ini, Rosé sukses menggambarkan kondisi hubungan tidak sehat yang relate dengan kehidupan anak muda masa kini. Bertahan karena berharap sikapnya akan berubah hanya akan menyia-nyiakan waktu yang berharga. Sadarilah bahwa ia berbahaya.

Album 'rosie' secara resmi dirilis pada Jumat (6/12) lalu. Album ini menjadi proyek pertama Rosé di bawah naungan The Black Label dan Atlantic Records setelah hengkang dari YG Entertainment pada 23 Desember 2023. Album ini berisi 12 lagu yang masing-masing berjudul, "number one girl", "3am", "two years", "toxic till the end", "drinks or coffee", "APT.", "Gameboy", "Stay a Little Longer", "Not the Same", "Call It the End", "Too Bad for Us", dan "Dance All Night". Karena terinsiprasi dari cerita kehidupannya di usia dua puluhan, album solo Rosé didominasi dengan lagu galau. 

Dalam 24 jam tayang di YouTube, lagu ini sudah mendulang 14,2 juta views. Apakah nantinya bisa menandingi pamor "APT" tanpa kehadiran kolaborator?
