BLACKPINK member Rosé and Bruno Mars’s hit song APT. has become a worldwide sensation, topping charts globally, but it's also facing accusations of plagiarism.
Some online users allege that APT., which has been dominating music charts since its release, resembles a 2013 track by Japanese artist Sawai Miku.
The claims focus on a chord progression used in both songs, a common pattern in music and far from proof of copying.
Despite the lack of any clear similarity in melody, AI-generated tracks mimicking APT. have surfaced, attempting to argue it’s plagiarized.
Fans have come to APT.'s defense, calling out these accusations as unfounded. Comments include, "They're just making baseless claims because the song is so popular," "It doesn’t sound similar at all," and "It’s sad people would rather tear down success than celebrate it."
Since its release on the 18th, APT. has broken records, becoming the first song by a Korean female solo artist to top the U.S. Spotify chart and reaching No. 1 on Spotify’s Global Daily Top Songs.
As a pre-release single ahead of Rosé’s official comeback on December 6, APT. has set high expectations for her upcoming solo album.
