(March 19, 2021 – Los Angeles, CA) – Updating a standout ballad, RIAA-certified platinum pop singer and songwriter John K shares a brand new version of “ilym” featuring ROSIE today. Get it HERE via Epic Records. An acronym for “I Love You More,” the original appeared on his acclaimed 2020 debut project, love + everything else.
On the track, delicate piano rings out in between warm strings. Right out of the gate, John K sends a lyrical love letter sealed by his vulnerable delivery before ROSIE answers with a passionate counter verse. It builds towards a sweeping hook as their voices entwine.
The song resounds as the definitive rendition of “ilym” and fulfills an original wish by its creator.

I love that the record can now take on a new meaning by showcasing that push and pull of feelings in a strong, committed relationship.”

“I remember the day I first heard John K and fell in love with his music, September 26th, 2018,” she exclaims. “Since that day, I’ve been a fan and dreamed of collaborating with him. Little did I know, a few years later, I would not only be part of his project, but I would have the privilege of working with the most enthusiastic, hardworking, and humble artists I’ve met. I am honored to be featured on ‘ilym,’ and I couldn’t be gladder to share this experience with John!”
