Rising Country artist Lily Rose releases a moving new song, “Overnight Sensation,” in conjunction with a heartwarming music video, available everywhere today. “Overnight Sensation” was written in 2019 with Rose’s close friends Matt Morrisey, Morgan Brock and Lauren Hungate as they dreamed up what it would be like to see sudden success. As “the promising new talent” (Billboard) continues to set records and break boundaries with her debut single “Villain,” the singer/songwriter is emotional over the song’s meaning today.
“I honestly don’t know if there’s a more personal song in my arsenal than ‘Overnight Sensation.’ Who knew that when we wrote the song in 2019 it would be the ultimate foreshadowing of me signing a record deal because of a viral moment,” reflects Rose. “I’m lucky to have written it with some of my closest friends. Getting to share this moment with them is extremely special to me. I needed this song through all of the hard times in my career, and I hope it helps other people keep the foot on the gas.”
“Overnight Sensation” illustrates the journey of an artist who rises to success seemingly quickly but as you reach the hook, it reminds the listener there is always more to the story: “I’m an overnight sensation… thirteen years in the making.” The powerful song details the many years of hard work and perseverance it took for Rose to carve her own path to success. In the accompanying video, home video footage is interspersed throughout, showing Rose learning to play the drums and perform for her family at an early age, with her supportive family always cheering her on.
Now, those family members are not only getting to watch Rose perform for intimate crowds, but they can hear her single “Villain” at country radio and available everywhere now. Since its release, “Villain” has amassed 25M on-demand streams and has spent 16 weeks on the Shazam Top Country Songs chart. In a recently released video, “This Is Lily Rose,” Rose opened up to fans about her explosive journey onto the Country scene.
