“Our lives are going to get even crazier, but taking on those big plans in life was such a central theme of this last album, so it feels serendipitous that we received the fantastic news during this time,” she adds, referring to her latest album No One Gets Out Alive.
Rose continues, “I’m a professional napper now, especially on show days, but feel grateful for how well I’ve felt throughout the pregnancy so far.”
The singer also tells PEOPLE she’s “so thankful to our families and huge community who continues to support us as we begin this new chapter.”

In 2020, Rose spoke with PEOPLE about her then-new track “Only Human (I Wanna Get Out),” written amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“The scene of this writing session was a post-tornado, newly quarantined East Nashville at the home of my bandmate, Alex and his girlfriend and one of our honorary bandmates, Kim Paige. Alex, Larry, Sarah, and I wrote the song together in the room where we’d rehearsed together with our band so many times,” Rose told PEOPLE.
“These occasions had always been full of excitement, hope, promise, and even revelry in as we’d anticipate and prepare for our upcoming tours and shows. It was routine for us to wrap rehearsals and migrate over to our neighborhood bar, 3 Crow, for a celebratory cocktail. Talk of ‘what’s next’ and new ideas for our set would carry on into the night, or as late as we could manage without compromising our show or buz-a-bus call the next day, of course. Compare those times to the day we wrote ‘Only Human’ and the contrast was stark,” the singer recalled.
She added, “It was all surreal, but we were unified by the collective loss we felt. We were alive and well and we felt grateful, maybe even obligated, to keep the music going.”
