“Alley Rose“ is the fifth studio single from singer-songwriter Conan Gray's third studio album, Found Heaven. The song was officialy announced on March 1, 2024, after Conan Gray had posted many teasers and snippets to the song.
“Alley Rose” is my favorite on Found Heaven. It was the very last song that I wrote on the album. I think the last song on my albums always ends up encapsulating the whole album, which I find to be a huge relief. I went through a breakup last year. It was my first real breakup, and it was really, really eye-opening and interesting and formative and painful and all of these incredible huge emotions that I wasn’t expecting. I’d always turned off my emotions when experiencing pain, whereas this, I just let it hit me like a truck. I’d been dumped and I was in London. I was supposed to be there with this person that I was seeing and then I wasn’t. And all of a sudden I was like, “OK, I’m on Abbey Road right now and you’re not here with me. Where did you go? Why did things end up so bad?” When I was writing it, I was like, “OK, I should probably not name the song Abbey Road, the most famous album of all time.” So I decided to come up with a name that kind of sounded like Abbey Road. I wanted you to think of somebody when you listen to the song.
