In an exciting collaboration that’s quickly becoming a fan favorite, BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ and Bruno Mars have teamed up for the brand new single, “APT.” The song, which has already captured listeners’ hearts, cleverly samples the iconic 1981 hit “Mickey” by Toni Basil. Additionally, the song’s original writers, Michael Chapman and Nicholas Chinn, are officially credited on the track, honoring the unforgettable chorus that has become a pop culture staple.

ROSÉ and Bruno Mars began teasing their collaboration with a series of Instagram posts just days before its release. “APT.” is already a hit, debuting with nearly 7 million streams on Spotify, marking the biggest debut for both artists on the platform. The second day of streaming promises to be even more successful, with the song already surpassing its first-day performance.
Interestingly, the song was almost scrapped due to initial hesitation from ROSÉ. “APT.” is also the name of a Korean drinking game, and ROSÉ revealed to Vogue that she had reservations about releasing a song inspired by such a theme, even asking her team to delete it. Thankfully, they didn’t, and now we’re all hooked on “APT.”
