A Deeper Dive into the Song: APT. by ROSÉ (BlackPink) & Bruno Mars Lyrics Meaning

Intro

The intro is translated as it is Chaeyoung’s turn to pick a random game. Chaeyoung is ROSÉ’s Korean name.

Verse 1

ROSÉ is sending kiss 😘 and heart ♥️ emojis through text/messages in place of the real thing. She wants to do it physically and is flirting to invite the guy to do it for real.

Verse 2

Bruno is up for whatever she wants to do and is flirting back. He even wants to take it up a notch and party all night. He will make sure that they both have fun in her apartment and start with drinking (geonbae = cheers).

Pre-Chorus

The flirting intensifies to the point of seduction. They want to seize the moment for tonight and “go crazy” in the apartment.

Chorus

The chorus is just an invitation for the other to meet at the apartment.

Bridge

The singers are telling the other that they are on the way to the apartment and asking if they are ready (wink wink).
