The fresh drop is set to be featured on Alex Warren’s upcoming album, You’ll Be Alright Kid, which is set for release on July 18.
Taking a break to recharge before BLACKPINK’s most anticipated world tour this July? Not Rosé. She’s showing no signs of slowing down. Just when fans thought the singer might be stepping back to prep for the upcoming DEADLINE World Tour, she surprised everyone with a dreamy new collaboration—this time teaming up with viral TikTok breakout and singer-songwriter Alex Warren. And yes, it’s as magical as it sounds.
If you’ve scrolled through your For You Page lately, chances are you’ve been caught in your feels by Warren’s poetic lyrics from his emotionally packed singles. One of the standout moments? That unforgettable line: “The angels up in the clouds are jealous, knowin’ we found, Somethin’ so out of the ordinary. You got me kissin’ the ground of your sanctuary, Shatter me with your touch, oh Lord, return me to dust.” Paired with his cinematic voice—raw, intimate, and gut-wrenchingly real—it’s the kind of song you can’t help but play on loop. Now imagine layering Rosé’s ethereal, honey-drenched vocals on top of that emotional storm. Yeah, chills.
Check Out BLACKPINK Rosé and Alex Warren ‘On My Mind’
The collab announcement came in true TikTok fashion: playful and full of suspense. In a series of teasing videos, Alex dropped subtle hints that a surprise guest vocalist would be featured on the upcoming track. One clip showed a barely visible figure appearing just briefly on camera, a blink-and-you-miss-it moment that left fans buzzing.
His caption asked followers to guess whose voice was haunting the track, and the internet was quick to speculate. That’s when Rosé jumped into the comments herself, cheekily writing, “can somebody tell me who that is?” It was the moment fans knew something iconic was brewing.
The song, titled “On My Mind,” officially dropped before June wrapped up. It did not disappoint. It’s a sweeping love ballad balancing vulnerability with a sort of cinematic melancholy. The lyrics dive deep into loving someone not entirely there. They explore that liminal space between holding on and letting go. Rosé’s voice brings new emotional depth. It’s gentle yet powerful, like a whispered truth on a midnight drive. Her harmonies intertwine seamlessly with Alex’s vocals. This is especially true during the chorus and bridge, where both artists channel that aching love you feel in your bones.
Sonically, the track comes with ambient textures and layered harmonies that fill the space with warmth and yearning. The production doesn’t try to dazzle as well. Instead, it invites you to feel. Every detail, from the breathy post-chorus hums to the slow, reflective pacing, is designed to sink into your soul. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever missed someone deeply—or maybe still does.
Featured on Alex Warren’s Upcoming Album
“On My Mind” is just one of 21 tracks on Alex Warren’s upcoming debut album, You’ll Be Alright, Kid. It drops July 18 via Atlantic Records. The album follows his 2024 EP, You’ll Be Alright Kid (Chapter 1). It also includes previous collaborations like the Jelly Roll-assisted “Bloodline” and the viral hit “Ordinary.” With this full-length project, Warren seems to embrace a sound that blends TikTok vulnerability with timeless storytelling. Rosé’s feature feels like a natural evolution of that journey.
Meanwhile, Rosé isn’t done giving fans everything. She’s gearing up for BLACKPINK’s big return on July 5 when the DEADLINE World Tour kicks off. As part of the tour, the iconic K-pop group will be lighting up Singapore’s National Stadium for two massive shows on November 29 and 30. And yeah, we are already counting down the days.
