- Lion's Mane plays a version of Rose's Theme with the first half played in reverse and the second half played normally.
- The motif can also be heard in the song Rose's Fountain in "An Indirect Kiss".

- A slower and more melancholic version of the theme is present in "Night Drive 2".
- The first three chords are the same as those used in the We Are The Crystal Gems chorus, with Rose's theme giving each chord half the length.
