APT." is a lively track that really shines with its fun and flirty lyrics. The catchy hook of "apateu" draws you in, being a nod to a popular Korean drinking game called Apartment, which makes it even more interesting.
In this drinking game, you must start with everyone chanting "apeteu, apateu, apateu" (the Korean pronunciation of apartment) three times. Then, players stack their hands in a pile and one player announces a forbidden number. Players take turns counting up from one, moving their hands to the top of the pile. If someone says the forbidden number or if two players call out the same number simultaneously, both must drink. This game can continue on for multiple rounds.
The lyrics are full of excitement and desire, especially with lines like “Don’t you want me like I want you, baby.” This captures the thrill of meeting someone special and feeling that connection. It’s a feeling we can all relate to, especially when you're out at a bar or party. And with Bruno Mars featuring on the track, the pair effortlessly portrays the romantic yet thrilling connection.
With Rosé recently mentioning wanting to really connect with music again, she does a phenomenal job emphasizing living in the moment, encouraging listeners to embrace spontaneity. The line “Sleep tomorrow but tonight go crazy” invites everyone to let loose and enjoy the night without worrying about the next day. With playful references like sending kissy faces and red hearts, the lyrics blend digital romance with a desire for real-life connection. It’s a relatable mix that speaks to modern dating and night life.
Overall, the song nods to having fun—drinks, dancing, and just enjoying life. The line “It’s whatever you like” captures that carefree spirit, inviting listeners to make the most of their night. "APT." is a celebration of youth and connection, perfectly capturing the excitement of a night out. Rosé and Bruno Mars create a fun narrative that resonates with fans looking to enjoy life, whether it’s at a party, bar, or during a game with friends. It’s definitely exciting to have Bruno and Rosé back on the upbeat pop scene.
