Singer-songwriter Alex Warren has released a highly anticipated new single titled “On My Mind,” featuring a surprise collaboration with global music sensation ROSÉ, a prominent member of the acclaimed group BLACKPINK.
The track serves as a special addition to Warren’s upcoming debut album, You’ll Be Alright, Kid, which is scheduled for release on July 18th. The inclusion of ROSÉ on “On My Mind” adds significant international star power to the project, following a period of immense success for Warren.
The Collaboration and “On My Mind”
“On My Mind” is characterized as an anthemic pop love song, a style that aligns with both artists’ capabilities for crafting emotionally resonant music with broad appeal. The single was produced by a notable duo in the music industry: Ammo and John Ryan, both known for their work on various hit records.
Accompanying the release of the track is a compelling music video, directed by the acclaimed Colin Tilley. Tilley’s involvement suggests a visually striking narrative to complement the song’s lyrical and sonic themes, further enhancing its potential impact on listeners worldwide.
The collaboration between Warren and ROSÉ brings together two artists who have cultivated significant global followings, though through different trajectories. Warren’s ascent has been marked by viral success and consistent chart performance, while ROSÉ has achieved monumental fame both as part of BLACKPINK and through her record-breaking solo endeavors.
Context: The Phenomenal Success of “Ordinary”
The release of “On My Mind” comes as Warren continues to experience extraordinary, sustained success with his previous single, “Ordinary.” Released in February, “Ordinary” has become a global phenomenon, dominating multiple international music charts for weeks on end.
At the time of this new single’s release, “Ordinary” is spending its third consecutive week at #1 on the highly competitive Billboard Hot 100 chart, a key indicator of popularity in the United States. Its international reach is equally impressive, currently holding the #1 spot for an eighth week on the Billboard Global 200 chart, which tracks performance across more than 200 territories. Furthermore, it remains at #1 for its sixth week on the Billboard Global 200 Ex US chart, underscoring its widespread appeal outside of the United States.
The track has also ascended to the top of radio airplay charts, reaching #1 at both Top 40 and Hot AC Radio. Its digital performance is equally dominant, resting at #1 on the Spotify Global Top 50 chart, a testament to its streaming power. In the United Kingdom, “Ordinary” has maintained its top position on the charts for an impressive 13th consecutive week at #1 on the UK Songs Chart.
Cumulatively, “Ordinary” has amassed nearly 1 billion streams to date, a remarkable milestone that firmly establishes Alex Warren as a major force in contemporary pop music.
The Album: You’ll Be Alright, Kid
The forthcoming album, You’ll Be Alright, Kid, is poised to capitalize on the momentum generated by “Ordinary” and now amplified by the release of “On My Mind” featuring ROSÉ.
The album will be comprehensive, featuring all tracks from Warren’s previously released You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) EP. In addition to these foundational songs, the album will include 11 new tracks, incorporating both the global hit “Ordinary” and another notable collaboration, “Bloodline,” which features acclaimed artist Jelly Roll. This blend of established fan favorites, massive hits, and fresh material aims to provide a complete picture of Warren’s artistic vision and growth.
Warren’s career streams already exceed 2.4 billion, a figure indicative of his substantial and growing fanbase across various platforms. His influence is further highlighted by his robust presence on streaming services, boasting over 52 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
ROSÉ’s Global Stature
ROSÉ’s participation in “On My Mind” is significant given her status as a global icon. As a lead vocalist of BLACKPINK, one of the world’s most popular girl groups, and through her successful solo debut, she has consistently demonstrated her ability to break records and influence global music trends. Her distinctive voice and international recognition bring an added layer of anticipation and exposure to Warren’s new single and his upcoming album.
With the release of “On My Mind” featuring ROSÉ and the continued chart dominance of “Ordinary,” Alex Warren is building considerable anticipation for the full release of You’ll Be Alright, Kid on July 18th. The album is set to arrive amid a wave of critical and commercial success, solidifying Warren’s position as a prominent voice in the global music landscape.
