Caroline Rose - "Do You Think We'll Last Forever?"

One thing I've been worried about as more songs come out for Caroline Rose's upcoming album Superstar is just how great they are while sounding more and more mainstream. Her latest single, "Do You Think We'll Last Forever?," might be the one that makes her go from being our thing to being known by our kids and office mates. "Do You Think We'll Last Forever?" is a rare mainstream sounding pop song that is just good. Like, really good. It would be quite ironic if Rose's concept album about a singer trying to make it is what breaks her out of clubs and into theaters.

Caroline Rose explains the song: "“When I started forming the narrative for Superstar, I knew I wanted the first half of the record to feel upbeat in order to mimic the narrator's excitement in following this big dream. ‘Do You Think We’ll Last Forever?’ is one of these tracks that showcases the false bravado the character has, but also exposes a few more cracks in their veneer of self-confidence. The song is fun, but it's also tense, like a rubber band that's stretched until it snaps. It's not a love song, but rather a song about the anxiety that comes with the excitement of potential love. Is this person falling for me too? Am I good enough? Are we on the same page? Anyone who's had a passionate fling knows this feeling, so I tried to get across that the narrator is just like any other uncool person with anxiety issues.”
