The Blackpink members are enjoying their solo careers. LISA has released three songs this year, including the Rosalía collab “New Woman.” JENNIE unveiled “Mantra” just last week. Now, ROSÉ is announcing her debut album rosie, and for the first preview, “APT,” she recruited Bruno Mars.
“‘APT’ is actually my favorite Korean drinking game that I play with my friends back home,” the K-pop sensation explains. “It’s so simple, puts a smile on your face, and breaks the ice at any party. 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” is produced by Mars, Cirkut, Omer Fedi, and Rogét Chahayed, and comes with a music video directed by Daniel Ramos and Mars. Watch it below.
