High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "Rose Colored Glasses" is a song by American recording artist Kelly Rowland, recorded for her third studio album, Here I Am (2011). It was written by Ester Dean and Lukasz Gottwald (Dr. Luke), with lyrics reflecting the different perspectives on relationships and how one can perceive a relationship different from the outside. It opens with a electro-crescendo followed with vocals by Rowland, and the production is based upon layered synths and drums produced by Dr. Luke. Dean helped Rowland to record the song, which Rowland said made her cry as it reminded her of her own experiences in past relationships. "Rose Colored Glasses" also had an effect on Rowland`s vocals, causing them to swell. The song was serviced to rhythmic and contemporary hit radio on June 29, 2010. Critics praised "Rose Colored Glasses" as one of Rowland`s strongest vocal and emotional performances to date.
