ROSÉ and Bruno Mars Release Highly Anticipated Single ‘Apt.’

On October 18, 2024, ROSÉ, the New Zealand and South Korean singer, and American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars, released their highly anticipated single titled ‘Apt.’ This collaboration marks ROSÉ’s first solo single in three years and her first release since parting ways with YG Entertainment and Interscope Records as a solo artist in 2023.

The single is part of ROSÉ’s upcoming debut studio album, *Rosie*, which is set to be released on December 6, 2024. The announcement of ‘Apt.’ came just a day before its release, with ROSÉ revealing the news on her social media platforms. An accompanying artwork was also unveiled, featuring a black-and-white, rose-tinted photo of Bruno Mars behind a drum set and ROSÉ lying in front of the set in a black leather jacket and skirt.

The background of the collaboration is as intriguing as the song itself. In August 2024, ROSÉ was spotted attending one of Bruno Mars’ concerts in Los Angeles, and later that month, she shared a picture of herself wearing a shirt with Mars on it. On October 16, ROSÉ posted a polaroid picture of her and Mars, where she taught him a Korean drinking game, hinting at their upcoming collaboration.

‘Apt.’ is a vibrant and energetic track that blends ROSÉ’s unique vocal style with Bruno Mars’ signature sound. The lyrics reflect a playful and intimate atmosphere, with themes of desire and spontaneity. The song has already garnered significant attention and is expected to be a major hit in the music charts.
