Quick answer

Starrd's APT. template turns two photos into the APT. music video on its pink set. Photo 1 is the drummer: on the kit behind the singer, in the close-ups and on the left in every shot together. Photo 2 is the singer: kneeling with the microphone, the lip close-up and on the right. Together you dance, put on the pink star sunglasses and play the floor game, every cut where the original cuts, in your own hair and clothes. 26 seconds, with the song, 250 credits.

What Is the APT. Trend?

"APT." is ROSÉ and Bruno Mars's 2024 hit, named after a Korean drinking game (apateu, "apartment"). Its video is one pink room: a drum kit, a microphone, a couple of amps and two people goofing around in front of the camera. That simple set is why it keeps getting recreated, and the newest wave recasts it with AI so anyone can be in it.
