Background and promotion
[edit]On 18 October 2024, Rosé released "Apt.", a collaboration with American singer Bruno Mars, as the lead single from her upcoming debut studio album.[1] The song went on to become a commercial success, reaching number one in 19 countries, including Australia and New Zealand, as well as the top 10 in the United Kingdom and the US Billboard Hot 100.[2] On 19 November, the singer announced "Number One Girl" as the second single through her Instagram.[3] In an accompanying caption, she clarified that the title stands for her fans whom she refers to as her "number ones".[4] The post also includes the artwork that depicts the singer gazing away from the camera in a white shirt with the song title on it.[5]
Composition and lyrics
[edit]In an interview with i-D, Rosé explained the personal meaning behind the song and revealed that she was not able to sleep due to being "obsessed with what these people were gonna say about [her]" as opposed to what she wanted them to say about her. She also admitted to feeling "disgusted" about herself and being in denial as a result.[6][7]
Music video
[edit]The self-directed music video depicts Rosé running around Seoul, passing locations such as the Jamsu Bridge, as she sings to her unnamed lover.[8]
