Rosa Linn topped Billboard’s March top TV songs chart with ‘SNAP’ after the song was placed in the end credits of the 8th episode of Shrinking. ‘SNAP’ is heard after an emotionally charged father/daughter confrontation between main character Jimmy (played by Jason Segel) and teenage daughter Alice (played by Lukita Maxwell). After the conflict, the credits roll accompanied by ‘SNAP.’

In March 2022, Linn was selected to represent Armenia in that year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Rosa finished 5th in the semi-finals and 20th in the grand final. Following the contest, ‘SNAP’ went viral on TikTok and entered numerous countries’ national charts. In October 2022, Linn was confirmed to be an opening act for Ed Sheeran on the North American leg of his +–=÷x Tour between June and July 2023. In the same month, she released a new music video for ‘SNAP’ filmed in the United States, and a collaborative single titled ‘WDIA (Would Do It Again)’ with Dutch singer Duncan Laurence.

From the outside looking in, the odds seemed like they were against me – an unknown girl from a small town in Armenia. But the power of manifestation is real when it is combined with hard work; persistence; and just putting oneself out there. I’m excited to let people into my inner-world through my music.” – Rosa Linn
