Rosé and Bruno Mars brought the MAMA Awards over to their “APT.” on Thursday night (Nov. 21), performing their new collaboration live for the first time at the Los Angeles ceremony.
The duo rocked matching oversized grey suits as they sang the high-energy track, backed by a band and supporting singers. The duo later accepted the global sensation award at the ceremony, with Rosé telling the crowd, “I wrote a song based on my favorite drinking game and I had no idea that it would be loved this much. Thank you so much for all our love,” before Mars then sweetly thanked fans in Korean.
“APT.,” which serves as the lead single off Rosé’s upcoming solo album, Rosie, has been making its way up the Billboard charts since its release last month. The song hit No. 1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, becoming the first song by a Western act to rule the Japan song chart in more than 11 years. The song also spends a fourth week atop both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts.
Rosie, which also features the single “Number One Girl,” is set to arrive on Dec. 6. When sharing the news of her first-ever solo LP, Rosé wrote: “I have poured my blood and tears into this album. I cannot wait for you to listen to this little journal of mine … With this album, I hope you all feel that much closer to me. And yes, it’s a full length album.”
