Review: "Love You Once, Love You Twice" - Oda Rose


Love You Once, Love You Twice by Oda Rose Cover Art

Oda Rose’s song “Love You Once, Love You Twice” takes the spirit of love and uses it to soar, manifesting emotion through a need to dance. The song uses metaphors like “you’re my helium when I’m heavy”, which amplifies the uplifting nature of her partner. In a heart-warming expression of gratitude, the lyrics show the speaker’s partner as a consistent pillar of support. The comfort and stability that comes from the relationship allows the speaker to feel more liberated than ever before. When you listen to the lyrics, the freeing elation of being in a committed relationship will fill you with warmth, just like the lyrics “my blanket when I’m cold”.



“Love You Once, Love You Twice” has intoxicatingly smooth vocals and a beat that will make you want to dance. A slow start to the instrumentals with simple strums of an acoustic guitar allows you to appreciate Oda’s strong voice as it beautifully moves through the lyrics. A rhythmic percussion picks up, sounding like a fast and resonant clapping. The chorus is full of dynamic energy, synth sounds, and happily invigorating vocalizing. The instrumentals and vocalizing share an uplifting melody, adding an exciting dimension to the sound. Truly leaning into the rhythmic sound of the song, Oda speak-sings to the beat through the bridge. This song is made for people who like to dance in their happiness, with its progressively upbeat sound and vocals that invigorate the beat.
