Blackpink's Bruno Mars and Rosé have released a new single, Apt.homage to the Korean drinking game Apartment.
The song remembers Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani, while in the video Mars and Rosé move against a pink punk background, singing the refrain: “Don't you want me like I want you, baby / Don't you need me like I need you now / Sleep tomorrow but tonight go crazy” (“Don't you want me like I want you, baby? / Don't you need me like I need you now? / Tomorrow we sleep, tonight let's go wild”).
The duo teased the release Thursday morning, sharing the cover image of them in leather jackets, with Mars sitting on drums. The day before, Mars had hinted at their collaboration, sharing a black and white photo with the Blackpink star on Instagram, saying that she was the one who “introduced me to this Korean drinking game and got me high.”
The caption continues: «Shortly afterwards she tried to kiss me, and I said: “Hey Rosie! What part of the game is this?”. She replied, “I'm not playing with you anymore, kid! Big Rosie NEVER jokes!”
Earlier this month, Rosé announced that she would be embarking on a new chapter in her music career, sharing the release date of her debut solo album, Rosie (which we will have on December 6th).
Mars' last solo album dates back to 2016, 24k Magic. In August he published Die With a Smile with Lady Gaga. The song debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
