Bruno Mars and Rosé release flirty pop-punk video “Apt.”

The track was released alongside a pop-punk-inspired music video that brought back memories of Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl.”

Bruno Mars and Blackpink’s Rosé debuted their flirty new single “Apt.” – a reference to the Korean drinking game “Apartment”.

The lively track brings back memories of Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl,” as Mars and Rosé hop and skip across the punk-pink screen, singing the chorus: “Don’t you want me like I want you, baby/Don’t you.” need I’m like I need you now/sleep tomorrow but go crazy tonight.”

The pair teased the track on Thursday morning, sharing the cover photo featuring Mars and Rosé in leather jackets while the “Finesse” singer sits behind a drum kit. The day before, Mars hinted at their collaboration, posting a black-and-white photo with the Blackpink star that he said “introduced me to this Korean drinking game and got me naughty.”

“Soon after, she tried to kiss me and I said, ‘Wow, Rosie!’ What part of the game is this?’” he joked. “She said, ‘I’m not playing games with you anymore, little boy!’ Big Rosie about this BIDNESS!’”
