Singer/songwriter Maggie Rose has released a new single and visual companion piece for her song “Same Way.” The track is a co-write with fellow artists Anderson East and Charlotte Sands. Rose’s latest delivery arrives after her 2025 take on “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” featuring Vince Gill, and her Grammy-nominated album No One Gets Out Alive. 

“This has been the most dynamic year of my life and I have learned so much about growth itself. It’s beautiful, dramatic, disruptive, determined and essential. I’ve also learned that it doesn’t happen in a straight line and that I can’t expect everyone to join me on my same journey. This song examines the discomfort in feeling like we are pulling ahead from—or being left behind by—the ones we love as we evolve in our own lives,” Rose wrote on social media to mark the release and provide added context. 

Rose’s latest musical check-in finds her expelling emotive lyrics, “Why you always running when we’re headed to the same place/ We can’t get there together if we never set the same pace/ We’re trying to write the story we don’t tell it the same way/ We can’t write the ending if we’re never on the same page.” The lines provide a narrative of growing apart, a heartbreaking ballad that lands on: “Selfish to say/ Wish we could change the same way.” 

The intimate music video evokes the nature of the artist’s sentiment visually through reflective glances, the stripped-down, cream-sheet-filled set, and the interplay of shadows: Rose’s swaying silhouette. Watch below.
