"Caroline" on YouTube |
"Caroline" is the debut single by American rapper Aminé. Written and produced alongside Pasqué, it was released on March 9, 2016 as the lead single from his debut studio album Good for You (2017). [1]
In an interview with Genius, Aminé said that:
The first time I heard the name "Caroline" was in OutKast's " Roses", so that was definitely an influence on me in general. But I wrote this song with the intentions of hopefully making a modern day " Billie Jean". Caroline represents the handful of women I’ve met in my life that I would put genuine effort in. [2]
The song's accompanying music video premiered on June 1, 2016, on Aminé's Vevo account on YouTube. As of March 2024, it has amassed over 369 million views. [3]
