Recently, a controversy was sparked by the Malaysian Ministry of Health raising concerns on its official social media account, stating, “Have you listened to Rosé and Bruno Mars’ ‘APT’?”
The ministry pointed out, “In the song, the term ‘APT’ is used as a place of temptation, which normalizes behavior in the song that contradicts Eastern cultural values.”
They added, “What’s even more concerning is that this song is frequently used in social media videos, embedding itself in daily life. Children, in particular, might unconsciously sing along to these lyrics.”
They also remarked, “As parents, educators, and members of society, we should be cautious about accepting Western cultural influences without discernment. While there may be various interpretations and fans’ opinions in defense of this song, it’s important to analyze the lyrics and make one’s own judgment.”
Rosé’s first full-length album, 'ROSIE' set to be released on Friday, December 6, will feature the pre-release single “APT.” as one of 12 tracks, including the title track.
