"Apt." is a song by New Zealand and South Korean singer Rosé and American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars. It was released through The Black Label and Atlantic Records on 18 October 2024, as the lead single from Rosé's debut studio album, Rosie (2024). "Apt." marked Rosé's first solo single in three years and her first release since departing from YG Entertainment and Interscope Records in 2023. The song was written and composed by various contributors, including Rosé and Mars, and includes elements from the 1982 tune "Mickey" by Toni Basil. It is an up-tempo pop, pop rock, pop-punk, and new wave track, featuring indie rock and electropop influences. Inspired by a South Korean drinking game, the song's chorus is built around the game's rhythmic chant of apateu (Korean: 아파트; lit. apartment; pronounced [a̠pʰa̠tʰɯ]).
Critics lauded "Apt." for its catchy production, broad cross-cultural appeal, and its role in promoting Korean culture worldwide. It was a commercial success and spent 12 weeks atop the Billboard Global 200, becoming Rosé and Mars' second number-one single each and the longest-running number-one song of 2024. In South Korea, it peaked at number one on the Circle Digital Chart for 10 weeks. "Apt." was the first song by a K-pop female soloist to top Australia's ARIA Singles Chart and the first Western song to top the Billboard Japan Hot 100 in over a decade. The song has seen huge global success while topping the charts in over 51 countries including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Estonia, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines, Sweden, Switzerland, and Taiwan. It entered the top three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart, the first song by a K-pop female soloist to do so on either.
An accompanying music video was directed by Mars and Daniel Ramos and premiered on Rosé's YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's release. The video featured Rosé and Mars as a garage band with matching black leather jackets in a pink-coloured set. The song broke a number of viewership records on YouTube, becoming the fastest music video by an Asian act to reach one billion views on the platform. "Apt." was also the second-fastest song and the fastest by a K-pop artist to reach one billion streams in Spotify history. Rosé promoted the song with performances on The Seasons: Lee Young-ji's Rainbow, BBC Radio 1's Christmas Live Lounge 2024, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. She performed it with Mars at the 2024 MAMA Awards, where they received the Global Sensation award.
