Chinese social media have given Blackpink’s Rosé’s new hit single with Bruno Mars, “APT”, the thumbs up, praising its catchy and uplifting tune.

“This song is quite intriguing, it has a bit of the past American pop music style,” one poster commented on Xiaohongshu, China’s equivalent to Instagram.

Rosé released her latest solo hit “APT” on October 18, featuring American singer-songwriter Mars. The song currently sits at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 list chart, the highest entry for a K-pop female artist, shoulder to shoulder with Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Taste”.

Reception for the smash hit has been mixed in Asia; most notably, the Malaysian government openly criticised “APT” for promoting negative Western values to the country’s youth.

China, however, cannot get enough of it.

Another Xiaohongshu user notes there is finally a song that does not have to rely on skimpy dresses and skin-showing to make it to the top of the US music charts.
