Caroline Rose has shared new single "Do You Think We'll Last Forever?", a final preview of her forthcoming album Superstar before it lands on Friday (6 March).

"Do You Think We'll Last Forever?" is the third and final offering from Superstar before it drops on Friday (6 March), landing after previous singles "Freak Like Me" and "Feel The Way I Want".

Rose says of the new single, "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."

She adds, "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."

Superstar will be Rose's first album since 2018's LONER record.

Rose adds of the album, "To me, there’s both humour and horror in hubris and what it takes in order to be successful. I wanted to make a story out of those parts of myself that I find largely undesirable and embarrassing, then inject them with steroids."

"Freak Like Me" is out now. Caroline Rose's Superstar album lands Friday (6 March) via New West Records, and is available to pre-order now.
