Malaysia's Ministry of Health has expressed concern and labeled Rosé's song "APT" featuring Bruno Mars as "harmful music." The statement was made via a post on the ministry's official social media account, which asked: " Have you listened to 'APT' by Rosé and Bruno Mars? "

The ministry said that in the song, the term 'APT' is described as a place of temptation, normalizing behaviors that go against Eastern cultural values. The government body added: " What is even more worrying is that this song is frequently used in videos on social media, thus integrating itself into daily life. Children, in particular, may unconsciously sing these lyrics. "

The ministry also stressed: " As parents, educators and members of society, we should be cautious about accepting Western cultural influences indiscriminately. Although there may be various interpretations and opinions from fans defending this song, it is important to analyze the lyrics and form your own opinion. "

Additionally, Rosé collaborated with Bruno Mars on the song "APT," which was released on October 18. With its catchy melody and memorable lyrics, it quickly rose to the top of major music streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube Music.

Rosé's debut full-length album, titled "ROSIE," set to drop on Friday, December 6, will feature the single "APT." among 12 tracks, including the title track.
