Music Minute - Lily Rose: I Know What I Want

 

Trailblazing singer-songwriter” (Billboard) Lily Rose ushers in a bold new chapter with the announcement of her highly anticipated full-length album, I Know What I Want, due Oct. 3. The 13-track record is poised to capture a season of sharp clarity and personal truth, and this Friday, Aug. 8, Rose offers a final preview of what's to come with the slow-burning confessional “Of Course I Do.” In celebration of the release, Rose will support Jordan Davis on the road for three shows, this weekend only.   PRE-SAVE/PRE-ADD: “OF COURSE I DO”   “I've been writing for this project for almost five years now and during that time, I have spanned the spectrum of peaks and valleys,” shares Rose. “Through these years, I have known what I want but have been navigating how to get there… and I feel like I finally made it. When it comes to my catalog of songs, a lot of them were written to bring energy to the live show – 'Of Course I Do' is the poster child for that. It's the song I'm most excited to crank up to 10 in my car and play live.”   Written by Rose, Paul DiGiovanni, Andy Albert and Emily Weisband, “Of Course I Do” showcases the vulnerable side of a breakup, admitting the honest truths that inevitably come along with parting ways. The track joins previous standout 2025 releases “End Like This,” “Seein' Blue,” “Let You Know When I Get There” and the title track “I Know What I Want,” praised by Country Now for showcasing her “signature country twang seeping through her vocals.”    The new album builds on the momentum of Rose's Runnin' Outta Time EP, released in spring 2024 to critical acclaim. Praised for its raw vulnerability and high energy, the six-track project marked a turning point for Rose as both an artist and storyteller – laying the foundation for the bold next step she takes with I Know What I Want.   After joining country superstar Jordan Davis on the road this weekend, Rose will embark on her 17-stop headlining I Know What I Want Tour, bringing her signature “deep, soulful voice and innovative sound” (COWGIRL Magazine) to fans across the country. The run kicks off September 11 in Boston and will travel through major markets including New York City, Washington, D.C., Charlotte and her hometown of Atlanta.   Named an artist to watch by CMT, MusicRow and Amazon, the GLAAD Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist and ACM nominee 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.”
