Kali Uchis I Wish You Roses

Kali Uchis appears to be revving up for a new project this year. Today, she unleashed her latest single, “I Wish You Roses.”

The 28-year-old singer came through her first drop of the year with the luscious new single on Thursday morning. The song boasts a warm, nostalgic feel, emphasized through Dylan Wiggins and Josh Crocker’s production.

Uchis explained that the song is about closure and ending relationships without harboring negative feelings.

“This song is about being able to release people with love,” she said of the single. “It could be a friend, a lover, or someone else, but the point is to celebrate releasing people from your life without being resentful or bitter.”

Shortly after the song dropped, Kali Uchis released her new single along with colorful visuals, directed by Cho Gi-Seok in South Korea.

“I Wish You Roses” follows the release of October’s “La Única,” which soon arrived after September’s “No Hay Ley.” With a scheduled performance at Coachella this spring, it seems like she might drop even more music in the coming months.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Ooh, never thought I would be without you
I wish you love, I wish you well
I wish you roses while you can still smell ’em
With pretty flowers can come the bee sting (Ooh, never thought I would be without you)
But I wish you love, I wish you well
I wish you roses while you can still smell ’em

[Verse]
I was a rose in a garden of weeds
My petals are soft and silky as my sheets
So do not be afraid to get pricked by the thorns
While I’m here, I’m someone to honor
When I’m gone, I’m someone to mourn
But if you and my heart should someday drift apart
I’ll make surе to give you these blеssings because they’re all I’ve got
My love’s deep as the ocean, don’t you drown on me
Just know, any love I gave you’s forever yours to keep

[Refrain]
Ooh, I wish you roses and roses and roses and roses and roses
I wish you roses, yeah, roses, roses
Ooh, I wish you roses and roses and roses and roses and roses
I wish you roses, yeah, roses, roses

[Chorus]
Ooh, never thought I would be without you
I wish you love, I wish you well
I wish you roses while you can still smell ’em
With pretty flowers can come the bee sting (Ooh, never thought I would be without you)
But I wish you love, I wish you well
I wish you roses while you can still smell ’em

[Refrain]
Ooh, I wish you roses and roses and roses and roses and roses (I wish you roses)
I wish you roses, yeah, roses, roses (I wish you roses)
Ooh, I wish you roses and roses and roses and roses and roses
I wish you roses, yeah, roses, roses

[Outro]
You’re gonna want me back
You’re gonna want me bad
You’re gonna—
You know we can’t do that
You know we can’t do that
You know we—
