"Roses" is a song by Guyanese-American rapper Saint Jhn, originally released on July 22, 2016[4] and later included on his 2018 album Collection One. Originally produced by Fallen, it was remixed by Kazakh producer Imanbek and released as a single on September 18, 2019. The remix of the song helped the song gain international recognition after it was featured on a Snapchat filter and on video-sharing app TikTok where it received over 4.5 billion plays in the month of April 2020.[5][6][7] On May 27, 2020, a second remix produced by Quay Global and Fallen was released with American rapper Future.[8] On July 20, 2020, a music video was released for the second remix. The remix's music video budget was bumped to help bail funds for arrested protesters and aid black-owned businesses and the Black Lives Matter movement, all regarding the George Floyd protests that started during May 2020.[9][10]

On July 17, 2020, a second version of the Imanbek remix was released, featuring an extra verse by Jhn and a featured verse by Colombian singer J Balvin.[11]

Production

A then-19-year-old Kazakh musician and producer, Imanbek, remixed the song in early 2019; it was officially released as a single in October 2019 through Effective Records, B1 Recordings and Godd Complexx/Hitco.[6]

Commercial performance

Following the release of the Imanbek remix, "Roses" peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. Outside of the United States, "Roses" topped the charts in Australia,[12] Canada, Ireland,[13] and the United Kingdom.[14]
