My life's been magic seems fantastic
I used to have a hole in the wall
With a mattress
It's funny when you want it
Suddenly you have it
You find out that your gold's just plastic
Every day every night
I've been thinking back on you and I
Every day every night
I worked my whole life
Just to get right just to be like
Look at me I'm never coming down
I worked my whole life
Just to get high just to realize
Everything I need is on the
Everything I need is on the ground
On the ground
Everything I need is on the ground
Nah but they don't hear me though
(Yeah what goes up it must come down)
Nah but they don't hear me though
(You're running out of time)
My world's been hectic seems electric
But I've been waking up
With your voice in my head
And I'm trying to send a message
And let you know that every single minute
I'm without you I regret it
Every day every night
I've been thinking back on you and I
Every day every night
I worked my whole life
Just to get right just to be like
Look at me I'm never coming down
I worked my whole life
Just to get high just to realize
Everything I need is on the
Everything I need is on the ground
On the ground
Everything I need is on the ground
Nah but they don't hear me though
(Yeah what goes up it must come down)
Nah but they don't hear me though
(You're running out of time)
I'm way up in the clouds
And they say I've made it now
But I figured it out
Everything I need is on the ground
Just drove by your house
So far from you now
But I figured it out
Everything I need is on the
Everything I need is on the ground
On the ground
Everything I need is on the ground
Nah but they don't hear me though
On the ground
Nah but they don't hear me though
Everything I need is on the ground
“On The Ground” reflects Rosé’s journey of realizing that true fulfillment isn’t found in fame, success, or external validation but in the simple, grounded parts of life. Despite reaching global stardom and achieving everything she once dreamed of, she discovers that the things that matter most—love, purpose, clarity, and emotional connection—were always within reach. The repetition of “everything I need is on the ground” emphasizes returning to her roots and staying humble even while standing at the top.
