Aretha Franklin's song "A Rose is Still a Rose" is a powerful ode to women who have experienced heartbreak but remain strong and resilient. Lauryn Hill wrote and produced the song for Aretha Franklin's 1998 self-titled album. In the song, Franklin gives motherly advice to a young woman who keeps finding herself in unhealthy relationships. Despite these difficulties, Franklin reminds the young woman that she is still a rose, using the metaphor to suggest that her beauty and strength endure despite the hardships she has endured. The song features elements of "What I Am" by Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians, and Hill sings backing vocals throughout.
