I think Red Like Roses Pt. 2 is about Cinder and her mother. Many versions of the Cinderella story have her living with her father who re-marries after her mother dies. Most versions of Little Red make no mention of her parents and simply have her visiting her grandmother who in the most well-known versions is saved along with Red by the Lumberjack. We've been operating under the assumption that Monty would take stout liberties with the fairy tales, but what if he hasn't? What if Cinder is the way she is because she lost her mother at a young age. It's the best aspect I can come up with for why the V2O seems to make her out as Ruby's primary antagonist (much like Roman to Blake and Mercury to Yang). The recent reveal of the fact that Emerald is a thief establishes her as an antithesis to Weiss leaving Cinder as the odd thumb.

Okay, so it may not make sense that the song would be played long before Cinder was "introduced." But foreshadowing most often occurs this way.
