The retro-infused upbeat track was unveiled as the pre-release for her first studio album rosie. The song was an instant hit, from ranking high on music charts to going crazy viral on social media platforms. It set a new record as the biggest male-female due debut of 2024, even surpassing Taylor Swift and Post Malone's Fortnight. Just a few days ago APT created history as the first K-pop music video to garner 600 million views.
