This song was released as a pre-release track ahead of Rosé's official comeback on December 6 and is set to be included in her 1st full album 'rosie.' Immediately after its release, it achieved first place on real-time charts, daily charts, and the 'TOP 100' on major Korean music streaming sites MelOn, genie, Bugs!, and VIBE, achieving a 'perfect all-kill.'

Rosé stated, 'This song was naturally created while I was playing a game I usually enjoy with friends in the studio, and I am deeply grateful that so many people are enjoying it. I have had many worries and anxieties, but feeling so much love has made me happy and empowered.' The song 'APT. (ROSÉ & Bruno Mars)' is inspired by a popular 'apartment game' in Korea. She revealed, 'This game is one of my favorites; it's simple, fun, and perfect for creating a lively atmosphere. One night, while working in the studio, I taught the game to the staff, and seeing everyone enjoy it led to the song's creation, with Bruno Mars joining in to complete it.' Rosé's 1st full album 'rosie' will include 'APT. (ROSÉ & Bruno Mars)' along with 12 other tracks, with her participating in writing and composing all the songs, incorporating her genuine story.
