BLACKPINK’s Rose has teamed up with U.S singer Bruno Mars and released the music video for their collaboration song “APT” on Friday (October 18).
"'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,” Rose said in a statement. “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” the first single off the 27-year-old first solo album “Rosie”, which is due to be released on Friday (December 6). The track was produced by Bruno Mars and producers Cirkut, Omer Fedi & Rogét Chahayed.
Rose, real name Roseanne Park, signed a solo record deal with Atlantic Records in September 2024 and a solo management deal with The Black Label, a subsidiary of South Korean label YG Entertainment in June 2024.
BLACKPINK are currently one of the most successful girl groups in the world. The quartet were the first K-pop group to headline the Coachella and British Summer Time festivals. They are also the first K-pop girl group to win a MTV Video Music Award.
Outside of music the Korean-New Zealand native, is also a global ambassador for brands Yves Saint Laurent, Puma and Tiffany & Co.
