Commercially, "On the Ground" debuted at number one on both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. US charts, the first song by a solo K-pop artist to do so and making Rosé the first artist to top the chart as a soloist and as part of a group. The song peaked at number four on the Gaon Digital Chart and number three on the Billboard K-pop Hot 100 in South Korea, and topped the charts in Malaysia and Singapore. It also became the highest-charting song at the time by a female K-pop soloist on the US Billboard Hot 100, the Canadian Hot 100, and the UK Singles Chart. In Australia, the song peaked at number 31 on the ARIA Singles Chart, becoming Rosé's first entry as a solo artist. "On the Ground" received generally favourable reviews from music critics, who complimented its lyrics and Rosé's vocals.

An accompanying music video, directed by Han Sa-min, premiered the same day as the song's release. Upon release, the music video broke several YouTube records for a solo K-pop artist, including for the most-watched premiere and the most views within 24 hours for a music video, accumulating 41.6 million views in that time. To promote "On the Ground", the singer appeared and performed on several South Korean music programs including M Countdown, Inkigayo, and Show! Music Core. On 24 March, Rosé received her first ever music show win for the song on Show Champion. Since then she has achieved five more music show wins for the track on M Countdown, Music Bank, Show! Music Core, and Inkigayo.

Background and release edit

On 30 December 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 25 January 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] Rosé's label YG Entertainment disclosed that she had "completed all filming for her solo album title track's music video in mid-January", and the release will be "surely different from Blackpink's usual musical style".[3] On 2 March, it was announced that Rosé would debut her solo project on 12 March, making her the first Blackpink member to release solo material since Jennie's "Solo" in November 2018. The next day, new teaser poster unveiled the name of the lead single, "On the Ground", for the first time.[4][5] The first music video teaser for "On the Ground" was released on 7 March.[6][7][8] On 8 March 2021, YG revealed the album track listing, which confirmed first-time songwriting contributions from Rosé on the title track.[9] On 9 March, the second music video teaser for the title track was published.[10] "On the Ground" was released for digital download and streaming as the lead single from R on 12 March 2021, by YG Entertainment.[11]

Composition edit

 
 
"On the Ground" features songwriting contributions from Amy Allen (left) and Jon Bellion (right).

"On the Ground" was written by Rosé, Amy Allen, Teddy, Raúl Cubina, Jon Bellion, Jorgen Odegard, and was produced by the latter alongside Ojivolta and 24. The song is an electropop, pop rock and pop song with synth-pop elements and an EDM-inspired beat, complemented by a simple guitar.[12][13][14][15][16] The track features wispy, melodic verses accompanied by "breathy" vocals, chorus that boasts the dance-pop punch, angelic bridge, and Rosé's high note at the end.[16][17] The track sees Rosé reflecting on her life as a global K-pop superstar and she realizes what really matters in her life already lies within herself.[16] She created the single's name herself and considers it to be the most successful line in all the songs that she has ever sung.[18] It means that everything that the singer needs is here, "on earth," and there is no need to rush somewhere to find this necessary.[19] In terms of musical notation, the song is composed in the key of C# major, with a tempo of 189 beats per minute, and runs for two minutes and forty-eight seconds.[20]

Basically the song is kind of about looking for answers in life, for a purpose in life, and I feel like people, especially these days, can relate to it. Sometimes when you’re always kind of on that roll, you kind of forget to take care of what actually matters to you most, and it’s just a song that says that everything we need is already within us. There’s no need to go out and look for it.

— Rosé on the song's meaning.[21]

Critical reception edit

Following the release of "On the Ground", it was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Ashlee Mitchell from MTV noted that "On the Ground" provides "the perfect contrast, taking a more confident stance, reminding listeners of the importance of being true to yourself."[11] Writing for Beats Per Minute, JT Early described the song as a "feel-good song about realising what’s important."[12] Madison Murray of Young Hollywood described the song as an "empowering anthem about Rosé’s experience in the spotlight and how she learned her true inner strength."[13] Writing for NME, Rhian Daly described the song as a "breezy, EDM-infused pop song".[16] Jo Ji-Hyun of IZM gave the song a three-star rating, praising its "soft and strong message" and noting Rosé's vocals for "creat[ing] a higher level of completeness."[22] Divyansha Dongre from the India version of Rolling Stone described "On the Ground" as "an electric pop anthem with a catchy guitar riff and picturesque set designs."[14] Alice Bailey, reviewer of the French fashion magazine Elle, called the song "a moving, beautiful, and lyrically-deep lead single."[23] Anna Chan from Billboard described it as "an empowering and thoughtful song about finding purpose within yourself."[24]

Year-end lists edit

Billboard magazine ranked the song at number 39 in their list of 50 Best Songs of 2021 So Far, stating that "If you couldn't get enough of Blackpink in late 2020, Rosé was here to serve in early 2021."[24] Tamar Herman of South China Morning Post selected "On the Ground" as one of the 10 best songs of 2021, writing: "The Blackpink vocalist’s first solo project starts off promising to be an introspective acoustic pop song, then turns into a reflective electric track that illustrates Rosé’s clean vocals."[25]
