<p>Rosé confessed that she was initially hesitant to release &quot;APT.&quot;</p><p>&quot;APT.&quot; is inspired by the Korean drinking game Apartment. It is pronounced as apateu or 아파트 in Korean.</p><p>In a video uploaded by <em>Vogue</em>, the singer recalled that she got the inspiration to write the song after playing the drinking game with her team in the recording studio.</p><p>&quot;I was like, &#x27;Is this okay that I&#x27;ve written like a song about like a drinking game? Is this too unserious?&#x27; And so I like got all of the producers and songwriters to delete the song off of their phones,&quot; she said.</p><p>After realizing that those who listened to the song became &quot;obsessed&quot; with it, the BLACKPINK member decided to push through on finishing the track.  </p><div><iframe width="928" height="522" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5ihFB4ZCnFY" title="Rosé Cooks Kimchi Fried Rice Dinner | Now Serving | Vogue" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>On how her collaboration with Bruno Mars came into fruition, Rosé shared: &quot;Last year, Bruno came to perform in Korea, in Seoul and my friends were like, &#x27;Do you wanna go watch a Bruno Mars concert?&#x27; And so ever since then I was like, &#x27;Oh my god, I love Bruno Mars, I play his songs all the time.&#x27;&quot;</p><p>&quot;Fast forward somebody set up a meeting with him and I. And I met him and I was like, I was fangirling so much, and he liked jumped on the song and he had all these like crazy ideas for it,&quot; she said.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/10/20/ros-and-bruno-mars-apt-achieves-biggest-debut-for-a-male-female-duet-on-youtube-1342"><strong>READ: Rosé and Bruno Mars’ ‘APT.’ achieves biggest debut for a male-female duet on YouTube</strong></a></div><p>Rosé released &quot;APT.&quot; on October 18.</p><p>According to Chart Data, the song gained the biggest debut for a male-female duet on YouTube this year.
