Lagu Toxic Till The End Rose Tuh tentang Siapa Sih?

Album 'rosie' yang dirilis Rosé BLACKPINK tahun lalu jadi momentum besar buat kariernya sebagai solois. Rosé melepas banyak hal yang terjadi sepanjang usia 20-an ke dalam lirik lagu di album ini. Termasuk soal mantan pacarnya yang misterius.

Kalau kamu dengar lagunya dari awal sampai akhir, ada beberapa track yang membicarakan soal mantan kekasih. Salah satunya adalah Toxic Till The End yang ada di track 4. Lagu ini dipilih jadi single ketiga setelah APT. dan Number One Girl.

Dalam lirik lagu Toxic Till The End, Rosé terang-terangan soal hubungan asmaranya yang gak sehat. Bukan cuma soal si cowok yang toxic, tapi bagaimana dia juga berpartisipasi dalam dinamika asmara itu sampai akhirnya jadi racun buat mereka berdua.

Saat wawancara di Zane Lowe Show, Rosé sempat cerita kalau lagu ini tadinya akan dikasih judul 'the x'. Dia juga cerita nama si mantan selalu muncul setiap kali dia dan teman-teman terdekatnya sedang quality time.

Sosok 'the x' udah selegendaris itu di inner circle Rosé. Makanya dia pun juga bilang kalau 'udah waktunya untuk nulis lagu tentang ini' dalam wawancara itu.

"Tadinya mau pake judul 'the x' tapi diganti karena kami nemuin punchline yang lebih bagus," kata pemilik nama Korea Park Chae Young itu.

Dia gak pernah ngebantah kalau lagu ini tentang mantan pacar dan hubungan toxic. Tapi Rosé sama sekali gak terbuka juga soal siapa sosok pacar yang dia maksud itu. Makanya pendengar berspekulasi karena kepo banget.

Dalam lirik lagu Toxic Till The End, ada bagian Rosé bilang 'now he's on the screen and saying don't leave. You stole that line from me' (sekarang dia muncul di layar bilang jangan pergi, kau curi kalimat itu dariku). Lirik lagu ini kayak jadi petunjuk buat penggemar kalau mantan pacar Rosé seorang artis atau public figure.

Spekulasi kemudian berlanjut sampai nama Jaden Smith muncul. Banyak yang menduga lirik lagu Toxic Till The End yang ditulis Rosé itu buat Jaden. Terlebih aktor pemeran MV Toxic Till The End disebut kayak menggambarkan sosok Jaden banget.

Untuk yang satu ini, Rosé langsung ngebantah.

"Gak, lagu itu bukan buat Jaden," kata dia saat tampil di acara Lie Detector Test Vanity Fair.

Sampai sekarang kita masih gak tahu siapa sih cowok toxic yang bikin Rosé terjebak dalam hubungan asmara beracun itu. Tapi siapa pun dia, kita kayaknya harus lowkey ngucapin terima kasih karena akhirnya Rosé bisa bikin lagu seenak ini.

Ini lirik lengkap lagu Toxic Till The End milik Rosé BLACKPINK:

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,"
I meant
I couldn't wait to see it again
We were toxic 'til the end

Uh huh
'Cause 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 'til 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
'Cause 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 'til the end

Uh huh
'Cause 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 'til the end, end, end

I can 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
'Cause 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 'til the end

End end
We were toxic 'til the end, end, end
