BLACKPINK’s Rosé and Bruno Mars: what does “APT” mean?

Recently, BLACKPINK’s Rosé teamed up with Bruno Mars for a new single, “APT.” Dropped on October 18, the song combines romantic vibes with a sprinkle of rebel vibes, showcasing both artists’ chemistry. The video? A splash of black and pink we can’t get enough of! But what does the catchy song title mean?

The inspiration for “APT” (apartment) comes from a popular Korean drinking game of the same name. Players chant “APT” in rhythm while stacking hands, pretending to climb an imaginary apartment building. The game gets intense as players mess up and drink more, adding a boozy twist to the dynamic.

This infectious track serves as Rosé’s first single from her stellar solo return, which is already making moves both in South Korean and American charts. Meanwhile, the idol is expected to drop her debut album on December 6. Titled “rosie,” the record will delve into the artist’s personal experiences and journal.
