“'I Know What I Want' is a product of a night out opening up for Cole Swindell and Dylan Scott,” shares Rose. “We had writers out that weekend and after the show (and a few beers), some of the writers came on my bus and this song just kind of poured out. My producer, Paul DiGiovanni, nailed the light-hearted, hip-hop inspired track that pairs perfectly with the matter-of-fact, fun lyrics. I hope this will be a crowd favorite on my setlist from here on out.”   LISTEN: "I KNOW WHAT I WANT"   Rose kicked off 2025 with the release of “Let You Know When I Get There,” which Country Swag tapped as “one of Rose's most impressive releases to date.” She went on to thrill audiences when she performed a sold-out headlining show at Nashville's The Basement East. She continues to bring her “distinct, dusky, conversational vocal style” (Billboard) to audiences nationwide on her Runnin' Outta Time Tour, hitting 14 cities across the country with special guest Payton Smith.   Named an artist to watch by CMT, MusicRow and Amazon, with recognition from GLAAD as an Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist and an ACM nominee, Rose continues to carve a path uniquely her own.

ABOUT LILY ROSE: Atlanta, Georgia native Lily Rose burst onto the scene with her viral hit “Villain,” instantly propelling her into the national spotlight almost overnight. She quickly found herself touring with country's hottest stars as she hungrily chased down her dreams and married her wife Daira in 2023. Amidst the whirlwind of success, Lily felt a tug to reassess her priorities and find balance between her career aspirations and personal fulfillment. Out of that period of reflection comes the long-awaited EP and Lily's first batch of new music since 2022, Runnin' Outta Time, out now. A co-writer on each track, it's Lily at her most personal and honest, bundling her beliefs and contradictions into six new songs that explain who she is, where she came from and where she's heading. It's the perfect soundtrack for the intense push and pull in Lily's life and a potent reminder of how important it is to take a breath and focus on the things that matter most. In this new chapter, Lily embodies the classic dichotomy between Saturday-night energy and Sunday-morning contemplation. Lily has been on multiple tours with fellow stylistic maverick Sam Hunt and opened shows for country-pop icon Shania Twain, and even experienced her own global pop moment when she sang on Diplo's 2023 EDM-country banger “Sad in the Summer” as she introduced herself to a whole new group of fans through performances on NBC's The Voice and ABC's Good Morning America. She's already been nominated for ACM Best New Female Artist and took home GLAAD's Outstanding Breakthrough Artist Award in 2022, and now, she emerges with a crisp, edgy new sound and a renewed understanding of what matters most to her. It's obvious that her dedication to authenticity and personal growth shines through in every note, “I really wanted to achieve and keep achieving and came to realize that it's not the most important thing,” Lily says. “What I need to achieve most is to be a good wife and a good daughter and a good friend — that will keep fueling the fire for the rest of my career.”
