ROSÉ & Bruno Mars Release “APT.”

Global icons ROSÉ and Bruno Mars have released new single “APT.” - available now via Atlantic Records/THEBLACKLABEL alongside an official music video directed by Daniel Ramos and Bruno Mars

"'APT.' is actually my favorite Korean drinking game that I play with my friends back home. It’s so simple, puts a smile on your face, and breaks the ice at any party,” ROSÉ explains. “One night in the studio I taught my crew how to play the game. Everyone was fascinated, especially when I started the chant, so we played around with it and I said we should make a song out of it... and after Bruno joined the track, the rest became history!" 

“APT.” (produced by Bruno Mars, Cirkut, Omer Fedi, and Rogét Chahayed) is the lead single off ROSÉ’s first studio album rosie, arriving December 6 and available for pre-order now (link). The 12-track collection marks ROSÉ’s most personal and candid release to date with her co-writing the project in its entirety, including “APT.”

As a member of BLACKPINK, one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, ROSÉ has shattered records, performed on the most heralded stages, and amassed millions of fans around the world. On her own, the Korean-New Zealand superstar’s 2021 single “On The Ground” debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart and became the highest-charting song by a solo K-Pop female on the Billboard Hot 100. Simultaneously, ROSÉ has been an unstoppable force in fashion as global ambassador for renowned brands including Saint Laurent, Tiffany & Co, Rimowa, and Puma. Her influence in music, fashion, and philanthropy has proven her to be a testament to the growth of Korean influence in music and fashion on a global scale.
