In one of the most moving episodes of The Mixtape yet, singer-songwriter Rose Parker opens up about the heartbreaking story behind her powerful new single "Because of You"—a song written in the wake of personal tragedy to raise awareness for organ donation and support the Thank You Campaign.

With raw honesty and emotional depth, Rose reflects on how music became a lifeline during grief and a vehicle for creating meaningful change. We discuss the healing power of songwriting, the importance of sharing stories, and how one song can help spark national conversation.

As always, Rose takes us on a journey through her musical DNA, curating an imaginary mixtape filled with the artists and tracks that have shaped her voice, her vision, and her resilience.

💜 A story of love, loss, and legacy—told through music that truly matters.


The song is to support National Thank You day which honours the sacrifice made by the many thousands of people who have, or intend to donate their organs. If you'd like to find out more about becoming an organ donor, please visit:
