APT. is based on a popular drinking game, and Rosé was reluctant to release this song
APT. is known for its catchy lyrics and addictive chorus. The word APT. comes from the word Apartment, which is a very popular drinking game in Korea. But it is pronounced as apateu in Konglish slang.
In the game, players stack their hands on one another and remove them starting from the bottom based on the number called out by the leader. Whosoever fails to do so has to drink as a penalty.
Rosé, in an interview with Vogue, shared that she was initially conflicted about releasing a song she wrote about a drinking game. She even went ahead and told her staff to delete the track from their phones but realized they had fallen in love with it.
Rosé performed the track at the 2024 MAMA Awards with Bruno Mars. The duo also won the Global Sensation Award at the same.
