Background and release

[edit]

In December 2023, YG Entertainment revealed that Rosé and the other members of Blackpink had renewed their group contract with the label, but that they had chosen not to renew with the company for their solo activities.[1][2] On 17 June 2024, Blackpink's main producer Teddy Park revealed that his company The Black Label was in discussions with Rosé to sign an exclusive contract; the following day, it was confirmed that she had signed with the label for management.[3][4] On 26 September, Rosé announced that she had signed a solo recording deal with Atlantic Records and that new music would be coming out soon.[5] On 1 October, Rosé announced the release of her debut studio album Rosie.[6] She revealed the album's track listing on 25 November, with "3am" revealed as the second track on the album.[7] The song was released alongside the album on 6 December 2024.

Composition and lyrics

[edit]

"3am" was written by Rosé and Amy Allen alongside its producers, Jacob Weinberg and Ojivolta (Mark Williams and Raul Cubina). It is a pop-trap song that opens with an acoustic guitar, before introducing 808 bass and trap beats.[8] Mike DeWald of Riff Magazine described it as mid-tempo ballad and compared the song to the early work of Avril Lavigne.[9] Lyrically, the song discusses themes of toxic love and imperfection. Rosé playfully admitted that she pretended not to see red flags in the relationship and "[confronts] her role in the dysfunction".[10] When discussing the creation of the song, Rosé stated that the track was written after "a difficult two weeks of working on music" the previous year and needing a place that feels like home, with the lyrics communicating: "I wish you were my home" and "I don't care what people in this world say, I wish it were you."[11] "3am" was composed in the key of D major with a tempo of 150 BPM, and has a duration of 2 minutes and 34 seconds.[12]

Live performances

[edit]

A live performance video for the song was released on 23 January 2025, featuring Rosé performing the song alongside her band at the Channel Street skate park in Los Angeles.[13] Rosé performed the song three days later, on 26 January, during her set at GMO Sonic 2025 in Saitama, Japan.[14] The song was included as part of Rosé's solo set during Blackpink's Deadline World Tour (2025).[15]
