"Gone" is the second solo single by Rosé. It was released on March 12, 2021, as the second track from her solo debut single album -R-.

The live version of the song from BLACKPINK: The Show was included on BLACKPINK’s third Korean live album BLACKPINK 2021 'The Show' Live. It was released on Spotify and Apple Music on July 1, 2021.

Background and release[]

On December 30, 2020, in an interview with South Korean media outlet Osen, Rosé revealed that filming for her debut music video would begin in mid-January 2021.[1] On January 25, 2021, a 33-second teaser titled "Coming Soon" was uploaded to BLACKPINK's official YouTube channel and featured Rosé singing an snippet of an unknown track.[2] Later that day, it was announced that Rosé will be showcasing a portion of the unknown track, later revealed to be titled "Gone", at BLACKPINK's first virtual concert, The Show, on January 31, 2021.[3][4] On March 11, Rosé revealed in an online press conference that "Gone" was originally recorded two years earlier. The following day, the song was officially released as the second track off the single album, -R-.[5][6] A month later, on April 5, 2021, it was officially released as a single, alongside its music video.[7]

Composition[]

"Gone" is a soft rock, alternative rock and indie rock romantic ballad underlaid with an electric guitar.[8] Pertaining to a mellow vibe, the production of the song features a "stripped-back" sound and built around strummed guitar chords.[9] The lyrics to "Gone" describe a female protagonist who still has feelings for her former lover, who has moved on.[10] The singer's vocals were described as "raw" and "direct".[11] In terms of musical notation, the song is composed in the key of F# major, with a tempo of 80 beats per minute, and runs for three minutes and twenty-seven seconds.[12]

This song is the most poetic, heartbreaking, and honest song that I have ever recorded and I am proud that it’s finally in your hands. I remember recording this and feeling all sorts of butterflies in my stomach because I couldn’t wait for you guys to hear it. I hope you feel all the emotions that are so vulnerably captured in this song.

Lyrics[]

 Rosé 

I thought that you'd remember, but it seems that you forgot
It’s hard for me to blame you when you were already lost
Oh, yeah
I'm tired of always waiting
Oh, yeah, yeah
I see you changed your number
That's why you don’t get my calls
I gave you all of me, now you don't wanna be involved
Oh, yeah, yeah
I really gotta face it
Oh, yeah, yeah

I just wanna be the one
But to you we're already done
Tell me, why'd you have to hit and run me?
Now I'm all alone, crying ugly
You broke my heart just for fun
Took my love and just left me numb
Now it's eight in the morning
Hate in the morning (All because of you)

Another story that's sad and true?
I can feel the pain, can you?
You had to be the one to let me down
To color me blue
Hate to see you with someone new
I’ll put a curse on her and you
Ain’t no looking back, now you're dead and gone
My love is gone too

All my love is go-o-o-o-o-o-o-ne
All my love is go-o-o-o-o-o-o-ne
All my love is go-o-o-o-o-o-o-ne
All my love is gone
Now you’re dead and gone

All my love is gone and the hate has grown
Standing all alone and I'm searching for something
But I can't feel nothin'
I pack my bags and go

This don't feel like home
Too much darkness for a rainbow
I feel so used
How am I supposed to live without you?
I refuse (Yeah)

I just wanna be the one
But to you we're already done
Tell me, why'd you have to hit and run me?
Now I'm all alone, crying ugly
You broke my heart just for fun
Took my love and just left me numb
Now it's eight in the morning
Hate in the morning (All because of you)

Another story that's sad and true?
I can feel the pain, can you?
You had to be the one to let me down
To color me blue
Hate to see you with someone new
I'll put a curse on her and you
Ain't no looking back, now you're dead and gone
My love is gone too

All my love is gone (Go-o-o-o-o-o-one)
All my love is gone, gone, gone, gone (Go-o-o-o-o-o-one)
All my love is gone (Go-o-o-o-o-o-one)
All my love is gone
Now you're dead and gone
