Jenna Raine is earnestly hopeful on summer anthem “Roses”

Emerging pop singer-songwriter Jenna Raine has released her latest single, “Roses,” a bold and reflective take on life’s lessons in growth and self-discovery.

Raine, who first went viral on TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic with her heartfelt ballad “see you later (ten years),” has a unique ability to make you feel moments of complete bliss and the heartbreak of youth. At 20, Raine continues to resonate with listeners as she navigates young adulthood. She recently featured on “Don’t Let Me Down” from Joshua Bassett‘s debut album, The Golden Years, released on July 26, 2024, and opened for him on his The Golden Years Tour last year. Both artists are signed to Warner Records.

Following her poignant but heartbreaking song “Hypothetically,” a song dedicated to overthinkers, “Roses” shares in all her hope and breeze. Co-written by Steph Jones, a frequent collaborator of Sabrina Carpenter, the single is accompanied by a lyric video featuring Raine’s friends Maggie Thurmon, Megan Edgemond and Sterling.

Amidst periods of self-doubt and life’s confusions, Raine has finally found her spirit. She looks to grow into a beautiful “rose” and doesn’t want anything to dampen her hope. With handclaps and strumming, she confidently sings, “Don’t go killing all my roses, ‘cause I’ve only started growing / Don’t go rain on my parade / I’m just tryna have a good day,” encapsulating her journey toward self-assurance and resilience.

At times, we all face the challenge of pushing away negativity and moving forward. In the bridge of “Roses,” Raine aims to ground herself, build resilience and stay strong as she sings, “I dig my roots into the ground / No, you won’t ever cut me down.” The song’s choir-like chorus envelops you into a warm hug, providing you with the much-needed hope and determination that Raine so earnestly shares.

In all, Raine’s new song “Roses” beautifully merges summer excitement and spirited hope, making it the perfect anthem for the season.
