During the conversation, when asked about the song's formation process, Rose took her personal phone and released her first recording, which did not feature Bruno Mars. This is version 1.0, the version without Bruno, the female singer shared. The demo has different lyrics and melodies, bearing Rose's personal mark.
The lyrics in this version are private and intimate: "I will be in the room at 5pm... We have been talking 7 days a week. But I couldn't keep you on screen....
It is this sincerity and simplicity that creates a different attraction compared to the official release. Right at the studio, Howard Stern praised: It sounds very good.
After the demo was broadcast, social networks quickly exploded. Fans across the country shared the recording and called on Rose to officially release APT. 1.0. A series of comments on YouTube left requests: "We need Rose's solo version", "Release APT. : Rose's version".
Rose also revealed an interesting scene when the song was released. The singer recalled the time when Blackpink temporarily stopped group activities for a year so that the members could pursue individual projects. She flew to the US to practice, spent many late nights in the studio, composing and eating McDonald's. It was the drinking games that she taught her friends at the studio that inspired the group to decide to make a song from this game.
When mentioning Bruno Mars, Rose respectfully said: I would not have believed this song so much without him. collaborating with Bruno is like a dream movie.
Since its release in October 2024, APT. has achieved many international successes, including seven nominations at the MTV Video Music Awards and winning the Song of the Year category.
