Rosé revealed in a press release that Apt. is inspired by her “favourite Korean drinking game that I play with my friends back home”.
“One night in the studio I taught my crew how to play the game. Everyone was fascinated, especially when I started the chant, so we played around with it and I said we should make a song out of it,” she explained. “After Bruno joined the track, the rest became history!”
Apt. is the first single from the BLACKPINK star’s debut solo studio album, titled Rosie, out now on Atlantic Records.
Rosé wrote in a social media post to announce the album, “where to begin.
“I cannot believe I am finally announcing my first album release to you all. I remember last year as our year long tour ended, I found myself in a session out here in los angeles. That led on to a year of walking in and out of the studio, writing songs with songwriters and producers I’d met for the first time, trying to figure out the next chapter in my career. I fell asleep many nights feeling confused and lost. But with the support of my dear friends and family, my team, and of course my number ones, I am sat here today excited to announce the date of my album release. I have poured my blood and tears into this album. I cannot wait for you to listen to this little journal of mine. Rosie – is the name I allow my friends and family to call me. With this album, I hope you all feel that much closer to me.
