In a sweet moment from the vibrant and freshly released music video (MV), BLACKPINK’s Rose leans in to plant a kiss on Bruno Mars’ cheek, leaving him blushing from ear to ear like a schoolboy. This playful scene at 01:18 in the official MV perfectly encapsulates the fun and flirty spirit of their new collaboration, titled APT. The K-pop star and the multi-talented Bruno Mars have joined forces to create a catchy track that’s already making waves. Co-written by a stellar lineup that includes Amy Allen (who has worked with Sabrina Carpenter), Omar Fedi (known for his collaborations with SZA and Lil Nas X), along with Rose and Mars, APT is sure to become a fan favourite. With its infectious chorus and catchy hook, this track adds a joyful vibe to the discographies of both artists.
The official music video for the song, released today, on October 18, features a vibrant pink backdrop, which sets a lively scene. It begins with Rose and Bruno standing side by side, both donning matching leather jackets. As Rose takes the spotlight as the lead vocalist, Bruno shows his impressive drumming skills in the background. Later on, Bruno joins Rose for an upbeat duet segment. APT is a catchy and lively track that is perfectly matched by its playful and quirky music video.
Produced by Mars, Fedi, Cirkut, and Roget Chahayed, APT is not just another single; it’s the lead track from Rose’s much-anticipated debut album, Rosie, set to release on December 6, 2024.
Watch it here:
“I have poured my blood and tears into this album. I cannot wait for you to listen to this little journal of mine," Rose expressed to Vogue, hinting at the personal stories and emotions embedded in her music.
The excitement around APT started to build even before its release. Rose had teased fans with a playful Polaroid photo of herself with Mars on Instagram, captioning it, “the night I taught Bruno how to play a Korean drinking game."
Mars also shared his own humorous take on the night, posting a black-and-white picture with Rosé and recalling their fun-filled experience. “I was hanging on for dear life," he joked, admitting he got a bit “saucy" during the festivities. He added, “Soon after, she tried to kiss me, and I was like, ‘Woah Rosie! What part of the game is this?’ She shot back, ‘I ain’t playin’ games with you anymore, lil boy! Big Rosie bout that BIDNESS!’ Shaken, I replied, ‘Stop Rosie, I’m scared!’ But other than that, super chill night."
With so much excitement surrounding them, it’s clear that BLACKPINK is in top form, and fans are eagerly awaiting what these talented artists will deliver next!
