This article delves into the unexpected journey of 'APT.', a hit song by ROSÉ featuring Bruno Mars. It explores the creative process behind the track, from its unconventional origins in a Korean drinking game to its evolution into a chart-topping phenomenon. The article highlights the collaboration between producers, songwriters, and the artists themselves, emphasizing the importance of embracing spontaneity and pushing creative boundaries.

They started out as the chant of a popular Korean drinking game, but ever since October, they’ve become better known as the hook of, the track has both solidified the BLACKPINK member as a bonafide solo star as well as helped secure yet another imperial era over pop culture for the Silk Sonic musician, with his “Die With a Smile” duet with Lady Gaga once again resting at No. 2 on the Global 200 this week after spending eight weeks at the summit before “ APT .” came along.

Hooked on the experience, Chahayed is hoping to write and produce more K-pop songs in the future and is planning a work trip to Korea later this year. But for now, he’s still drinking in the success of “APT.,” and to celebrate its ongoing momentum,caught up with the producer on how all of the pieces fell into place for a song that’s deeply unserious to have a commercial run that’s anything but.

It felt really different and special, but I think off the top I was just like, “This is very unconventional and strange — in a good way.” When we left that day, we didn’t really know what we had.

I definitely messaged him after the song had come out like, “I’m so excited about this song, thanks so much for everything,” and he told me congrats. I hope to work more with him in the future.Rosie is such a sweetheart and such a nice person. I didn’t know what I was walking into.
