Is this too unserious?&#x27; And so I like got all of the producers and songwriters to delete the song off of their phones,&quot; she said.After realizing that those who listened to the song became &quot;obsessed&quot; with it, the BLACKPINK member decided to push through on finishing the track.  On how her collaboration with Bruno Mars came into fruition, Rosé recalled: &quot;Last year, Bruno came to perform in Korea, in Seoul and my friends were like, &#x27;Do you wanna go watch a Bruno Mars concert?&#x27; And so ever since then I was like, &#x27;Oh my god, I love Bruno Mars, I play his songs all the time.&#x27;&quot;&quot;Fast forward somebody set up a meeting with him and I. And I met him and I was like, I was fangirling so much, and he liked jumped on the song and he had all these like crazy ideas for it,&quot; she said.Rosé released &quot;APT.&quot; on October 18, 2024.
