In a press release, Rose shared:
“Purple Emoji instantly connected with me on an authentic level. it’s so amazing to hear that sort of vulnerability from artists who are talking about their day ones and a love that we can all relate to. I wanted to stay true to the lyrics and create a video that showed real couples, real friends, real siblings and the tiniest of actions of intimacy they share. I think the outcome is a video that can resonate with all people from all walks of life and is representative of the full spectrum of love.”
“Purple Emoji” is the lead single off Ty Dolla $ign’s highly-anticipated third studio album which has yet to be named. Stay tuned for updates on the album’s release date.
