About this song
"Roses" is the second single from André 3000's album The Love Below and the third overall single from the OutKast double album, following "Hey Ya!" and "The Way You Move." It is the only song on The Love Below to feature Big Boi. The music video is loosely based on the musical West Side Story, with André and Big Boi playing rival high school students who compete for the affection of Caroline. The single peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached #1 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart.
