"'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 shared in a press release about the track’s release. “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!"

Mars, known for his eclectic style and infectious hits, brings his signature flair to “APT.” blending his soulful vocals with her distinctive voice, creating a playful melody that is both modern and timeless. So, considering that this track offers listeners an engaging rhythm and a dynamic melody, it’s sure to be a staple on playlists very soon.

Produced by Bruno Mars, Cirkut, Omer Fedi, and Rogét Chahayed, "APT." is the lead single from ROSÉ’s first studio album rosie, which will be released on December 6th and is currently available for pre-order. The 12-track collection marks ROSÉ’s most personal and candid release to date, with her co-writing the entire project, including “APT.”
