It was released through The Black Label and Atlantic Records on 18 October 2024, as the lead single from Rosé’s debut studio album, Rosie (2024).

You’re probably wondering what that crazy chant is that’s running through the song. It’s “apateu,” which is Korean for apartment. Thus the title is the more universal “APT.” which is an abbreviation for “apartment.”

The song is a collaboration between Rosé, a South Korean singer who came up with the “apateu” part, and Bruno Mars. In the song, Rosé invites Bruno for a wild time at her titular apartment.

That Korean hook is the special sauce that makes the song stand out among all the other pop-punk anthem’s out there.

Accompanying music video was directed by Mars and Daniel Ramos and premiered on Rosé’s YouTube channel simultaneously with the single’s release. The video featured Rosé and Mars as a garage band with matching black leather jackets in a pink-coloured set. The song broke a number of viewership records on YouTube, becoming the fastest music video by an Asian act to reach one billion views on the platform.
