Rosé of girl group Blackpink will team up with pop star Bruno Mars for her single "APT.," her agency, The Black Label, said Thursday.

"APT." will be included in Rosé's full-length album "rosie," which is set to be released on Dec. 6, along with 11 other tracks.

"Rosé has co-written and co-produced all the songs on this album, offering a more personal and authentic glimpse into her life," said the agency.

Rosé signed a management contract with The Black Label, led by producer Teddy, in June. She also signed a label contract with global record label Atlantic Records, laying the groundwork for both domestic and international activities.
This single is her first official release after signing with the label.

Rosé shared a photo of herself with Bruno Mars on Instagram on Thursday, ahead of their upcoming collaboration release.

"The night I taught Bruno how to play a Korean drinking game," Rosé captioned the photo. Bruno Mars responded, "So much fun! Remember when you tried to kiss me? That was weird."

Rosé, the lead vocalist of Blackpink, made her solo debut in 2021 with her EP "R." She topped the Billboard Global 200 chart with its lead track "On The Ground" and also reached number 70 on the Billboard Hot 100, the highest rank for a K-pop female artist.
