BLACKPINK’s Rosé and Alex Warren unite in “On My Mind” – a ballad about love that lingers
There’s a gentle melancholy that runs through On My Mind, the new song born from the collaboration between BLACKPINK’s Rosé and American singer-songwriter Alex Warren.
It’s a delicate acoustic ballad, one that leaves room for emotions, silences, and above all, a feeling we all know too well: the thought of someone who, even from afar, never really leaves our mind.
The track previews Alex’s upcoming debut album, You’ll Be Alright, Kid, set for release on July 18, and comes with a music video that turns the heart into a house. A messy house, filled with forgotten objects and abandoned rooms — the perfect metaphor for the emotional chaos we feel when we’re still attached to someone who’s no longer there.
Rosé and Alex trade verses as if they’re reading from a shared diary. Their voices blend effortlessly, brushing against each other, reaching, searching. There’s sweetness, nostalgia, and a quiet truth: some connections never really fade.
The lyrics offer simple yet vivid imagery — yellow-tinted clouds, shifting time, a heart frozen in fire; drawing us into that suspended space where memories stir and come alive again.
It’s a song about love, of course, but also about emptiness, mental returns, and invisible bonds.
A track to play when everything goes quiet, and the heart, softly, begins to speak again.
Nella mia mente
[Strofa 1 – Alex Warren]
Nascosto sotto il pavimento,
nella soffitta dei miei sogni c’è qualcuno che adoro.
Potrei sorridere, potrei mentire,
dire che non penso mai a te, almeno per la maggior parte del tempo.
[Ritornello – Alex Warren]
Forse è il modo in cui le nuvole sono dipinte,
una perfetta sfumatura di giallo che attraversa il cielo.
Forse è il modo in cui i tempi stanno cambiando
e io resto bloccato nel mezzo, congelato tra le fiamme.
Ma, amore, sei nella mia mente.
[Post-Ritornello – Alex Warren]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Strofa 2 – ROSÉ, Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Le porte si apriranno, le porte si chiuderanno,
nel seminterrato dei miei sogni c’è qualcuno che conosco.
Sì, sono un pazzo, non sorprenderti.
Non ti penso mai, davvero mai…
Ma adesso ho solo bisogno che tu lo sappia.
[Ritornello – Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Forse è il modo in cui le nuvole sono dipinte,
una perfetta sfumatura di giallo che attraversa il cielo.
Forse è il modo in cui i tempi stanno cambiando
e io resto bloccato nel mezzo, congelato tra le fiamme.
Ma, amore, sei nella mia mente.
[Post-Ritornello – Alex Warren]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Bridge – Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Sei arrivata,
con grazia e naturalezza.
Il nostro amore era semplicemente ciò che doveva essere.
Sei tornata,
come se fossi ancora legata a me.
Il nostro amore era semplicemente ciò che doveva essere.
[Ritornello – ROSÉ, Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Forse è il modo in cui le nuvole sono dipinte,
una perfetta sfumatura di giallo che attraversa il cielo.
Forse è il modo in cui i tempi stanno cambiando
e io resto bloccato nel mezzo, congelato tra le fiamme.
Ma, amore, sei nella mia mente.
[Post-Ritornello – Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Oh-oh, oh (Sei nella, sei nella mia mente)
Oh-oh, oh (Sei nella, sei nella, sei nella)
Ooh, ooh-ooh (Sei nella mia mente)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Nella mia mente)
[Finale – Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Baby, sei nella mia mente.
On My Mind
[Verse 1: Alex Warren]
Hidden underneath the floor
In the attic of my dreams, there’s somebody I adore
I could smile, I could lie
Say, I never think about you at all, most of the time
[Chorus: Alex Warren]
Maybe it’s the way the clouds are painted
A perfect shade of yellow all across the sky
Maybe it’s the way the times are changing
And I’m stuck in the middle, frozen in a fire
But, baby, you’re on my mind
[Post-Chorus: Alex Warren]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2: ROSÉ, Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Doors will open, doors will close
In the basement of my dreams, thеre’s somebody I know, mm
Yeah, I’m a fool, don’t bе surprised
I don’t ever think about you at all
But right now, I just need you to know
[Chorus: Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Maybe it’s the way the clouds are painted
A perfect shade of yellow all across the sky
Or maybe it’s the way the times are changing
And I’m stuck in the middle, frozen in a fire
But, baby, you’re on my mind
[Post-Chorus: Alex Warren]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Bridge: Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
You showed up
Graceful and casually
Our love was what it had to be
You showed up
Like you’re still attached to me
Our love was what it had to be
[Chorus: ROSÉ, Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Maybe it’s the way the clouds are painted
A perfect shade of yellow all across the sky
Maybe it’s the way the times are changing
And I’m stuck in the middle, frozen in a fire
But, baby, you’re on my mind
[Post-Chorus: Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Oh-oh, oh (You’re on, you’re on my mind)
Oh-oh, oh (You’re on, you’re on, you’re on)
Ooh, ooh-ooh (You’re on my mind)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (On my mind)
[Outro: Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Baby, you’re on my mind
