“Never the 1,” a moody beauty of a breakup song and quickly went viral.“Two hours [after I put it up], I get back from my walk, get into my apartment, and it has a million views,” she told The Post. “I couldn’t believe what was happening.

I called my manager brother [Matteo], and he said, ‘Yeah, it’s real.’ And by the time I woke up the next morning, it was at 8 million, and it kept going to16, 17 million.”The song currently has over 18 million views, and Scher — who is now 23 and goes by just Rosie — is both a TikTok sensation and a writer who has penned music for one of the greatest voices on earth, Celine Dion.Rosie and tunesmith Dan Wilson — lead singer of “Closing Time” band Semisonic — became “songwriting pals” during the pandemic and were asked to write a song to go over the credits of the romantic comedy “Love Again,” which starred Priyanka Chopra and Sam Heughan.They nailed the job writing “Love Again,” a hopelessly romantic ballad that was released in April and was Dion’s first single since being diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome — a neurological disease that has affected her ability to sing — in 2022.“Growing up and wanting to sing, she was just one of the biggest influences for me because her voice is one in a million,” said Rosie, who lives in Brooklyn. “I’m just so grateful that she felt called to take the song and to make it her own.”Still, Rosie — whose second EP, “5 Songs for Healing,” drops Friday — is hesitant to take credit for helping the “My Heart Will Go On” singer to find her voice again with her first new music since 2019.“If I did in any way, I’m so honored,” she said.
