SecondUpdate.com - The massive success of the song “APT.” turns out to have an interesting behind-the-scenes story.

Rosé of BLACKPINK recently revealed that she experienced a tense moment with her collaboration partner, Bruno Mars, just before they began filming the music video for the song.

Rosé shared this confession in an exclusive interview with Vogue. She described the incident as the biggest argument she had ever had during their collaboration process.

Although she did not explain the exact cause of the conflict, Rosé assured that the disagreement did not last long. All issues were successfully resolved before the cameras started rolling.

She also emphasized that the atmosphere on set remained normal and professional. There was no project cancellation and no prolonged drama. On the contrary, their working process continued to be filled with intensive communication and creative discussions.

Rosé even joked that Bruno Mars might be “upset” because this story was revealed to the public. However, she closed on a light note, saying that their relationship remains perfectly fine.

The song “APT.” was released on October 18, 2024, and immediately skyrocketed on music charts around the world. It became the lead single from Rosé’s debut solo album “Rosie,” which was released in December 2024.

Interestingly, “APT.” was inspired by a South Korean drinking game called apateu. The rhythmic chant commonly used in the game was adapted into the song’s chorus, creating a unique, fun, and catchy vibe.

Musically, “APT.” blends several genres such as pop, pop-rock, pop-punk, and electropop, making it feel energetic and fresh for a wide range of listeners.

The good news is that Rosé and Bruno Mars apparently still have another unreleased song they recorded together. Bruno Mars has hinted that they are simply waiting for the right moment to launch their next collaborative work.

This means that the story of this duo’s collaboration may not be over yet, and fans should look forward to their next surprise.
