BLACKPINK's Rosé revealed the story behind her collaboration with Bruno Mars on APT.
In the prior preview video of You Quiz On The Block, the K-pop artist elaborated on the creation of her famous hit single APT. The video revealed how the female idol ended up collaborating with Bruno Mars.
BLACKPINK's Rosé stated that she forwarded three songs to Bruno, despite others advising her against including APT., asserting that he would reject it. However, notwithstanding their reservations, she sent the email including APT., which later went viral globally.
