Rosé Brings the Drama in Sweeping Grammys 2026 Look

Rosé remembered "hustling information" out of him during their first meeting in 2024.

“I was trying to get the most out of the meeting because I thought it’d be our last—first and last meeting, forever," she told Billboard in December. "Like, ‘This is my moment, I need to get all the tips, all the help I can.’"

Of course, the "Locked Out of Heaven" singer has a different take on when he first heard the idea for "Apt." 

“I was like, ‘It’s about drinking? You got me,’” he told the outlet. “But truthfully, it was Rosie’s voice, it was her saying this hook that just had this magic to it. And after talking to her it became, ‘Let’s build on this, let’s figure this puzzle out.’ That’s what all these songs are, right? And I thought it was beautiful that it was from her culture; she didn’t just send me a pop song talking about love or whatever. She really put me on game.”

For Rosé, the success of "Apt." tops off an incredible year of major milestones. 

"This year was full of surprises, laughter, celebrations, love and loss - and everything in between," she wrote on Instagram to mark the new year. "At this years end, I take it all in with a bit of pride and some gratitude. I am grateful for pushing through the year, and not changing. All the highs and the lows, I walk out with just so many lessons learned - but still remain ME."
