"APT." is a hot tune on digital platforms in recent days. The song's appeal comes from Rose and Bruno Mars - 2 superstars from 2 different music industries.
On Radio Z100 New York, Rose shared that she initially thought a collaboration wouldn't happen because Bruno Mars is such a big star. When the singer sent Bruno three songs, he decided to choose "APT." after learning it was a Korean table game.
Bruno Mars' nod helped Rose have the biggest hit of her career, creating a new trend with the "tower building" move inspired by the fun game.
Rose, who is also a fan of the singer, believes that Bruno Mars listening to just three of her songs is a big win, because he has been active for 14 years and has an impressive record.
In 2004, Bruno Mars signed a contract with Motown Records, where he, along with musician Philip Lawrence and engineer Ari Levine, formed the trio The Smeezingtons - the group that created immortal songs such as "Long Distance", "Right Round" and "Wavin' Flag" (the theme song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup).
After that, Bruno Mars gradually challenged himself in the field of singing instead of just simply composing. In 2010, he released his debut album “Doo-Wops & Hooligans” with the hit song “Just the way you are”.
A year after the release of “Doo-Wops & Hooligans,” he was named one of Forbes' 100 Most Influential People in the World.
With each album, Bruno Mars continues to experiment with new genres of music. His third album, “24K Magic,” released in 2016, used retro-funk music while “An Evening with Silk Sonic” (his fourth album) was a playground for 70s R&B.
It is Bruno Mars' serious investment in music that has helped him gain a solid position in the world of music. To date, he has won 15 Grammy Awards and many other major and minor awards.
Bruno Mars has also been listed in the Guinness Book of Records many times for his million-view performances and songs that have lasted for decades.
According to Forbes alone, he has appeared in the top 100 most famous people 4 times, honored as a shining star in the music industry when he was not yet 30 years old.
Bruno Mars' real name is Peter Gene Hernandez, born in 1985. Being born in vibrant Hawaii is partly the influence on the diverse musical colors of the male artist.
According to Bruno, his music is inspired by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. After more than a decade of working, his name still holds a special place.
In 2024, he had two hit songs at the same time, “Die with a smile” in collaboration with Lady Gaga and “APT.” in collaboration with Rose. Both songs brought him Top 1 on the Billboard Global chart.
