The Korean-Australian artist garnered 41.6million views with On The Ground and set the record of YouTube views in 24 hours by a solo K-pop artist. She broke the record previously set by Korean singer PSY a decade ago with his song Gangnam Style, of 36 million views.

In addition, her latest single has topped the iTunes charts across 51 countries along with South Korea, reports KBS world. According to KBS world radio portal, the all-English song is considered to have hit the highest figure ever for a Korean female artist.

As per reports, Rosé believes every song has a language that right for it and for her songs Gone and On The Ground, it was English. In Blackpink's online concert The Show, the singer performed on Gone, giving her fans a glimpse of her solo debut.

Speaking of her recently released track, the Korean idol said, “The reason I feel inclined to it, is because of how much it matches my life one-dimensionally. From when I was a trainee, I lived day to day, running towards my dreams".

“Once in a while, there are moments where I’d question my motives, and I think the lyrics express this really well. I think this is something to learn from as well,” she added.
