"Roses" is a song from American DJ duo The Chainsmokers. It was released as the second single from their debut EP, Bouquet on June 16, 2015.[1] The song was written by and features vocals from American singer Elizabeth Roze Mencel, better known by her moniker Rozes.[2]

Background

In an interview with Mike Wass of Idolator, The Chainsmokers said, "We always felt the song was special. When you want to listen to it again and again after you’ve made the song, you know you’ve got something. You’ve really got to put it out and let the public try to decide what it is and what it isn’t. When we put the song out, it was an overwhelmingly positive response. That doesn’t mean it’s a hit but we knew that it was a special song. I think that it definitely has a Chainsmokers feel to it, but there’s a lot of influences (Taylor Swift, Max Martin) in the production. But I think that’s what’s cool about it and why people are enjoying it because it doesn’t feel and sound like everything that’s on the radio right now. But it’s catchy and accessible. I think it’s refreshing."[3]

Composition

"Roses" is written in the key of E major with a tempo of 100 beats per minute in common time. The song alternates between the chords E and Esus2, and the vocals span from B3 to B4.[4]

Music video

The music video for the song was released to YouTube on August 7, 2015.[5]
