So, have you seen these music videos yet? If not, now’s the perfect time to check them out!

ROSÉ & Bruno Mars — APT.

Inspired by a Korean drinking game, this catchy song captures the vibe of a fun student party that stays vivid in your memory even years later. But a big crowd isn’t necessary to recreate this euphoric mood — ROSÉ and Bruno Mars bring it to life in their music video, just the two of them, singing and goofing around in a cozy pink studio room. Dressed in black leather jackets, they recreate the laid-back garage band atmosphere. 

The video setup may seem simple, yet it powerfully reinforces the song’s emotional message — just feel free to have fun.

Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars — Die With A Smile

Yet another Bruno Mars collaboration stole our hearts, staying at the top of music video charts for over 25 weeks. Die With A Smile may appear to be a song about deep mutual love, but its meaning is more multilayered than it seems. The song immerses us in a vivid scene of the last day on Earth, where lovers choose to spend their final moments together as the deepest expression of their love. It can make some listeners wonder: Would I want to spend my final moments with my partner, too? Have I ever felt a connection so deep that it would make those final moments worthwhile? 

In the video, these questions mirror the 70s aesthetics and a blue-red-white color scheme associated with melancholy and nostalgia. Meanwhile, the singers performing on a stage in an empty hall, with mannequins as their silent audience, make the emotional effect of the song even more intimate.

JISOO — earthquake

A powerful love statement by K-pop singer JISOO had a perfect release date — February 14, Valentine’s Day. In just two weeks, the music video for earthquake got almost 40 million views, making it one of the most trending videos on YouTube right now. But what makes it so special?

The cinematic video follows a stylish office worker who, after receiving a message from her crush, suddenly finds herself locked in an interrogation room. The visuals are carefully curated, reinforcing a polished, old-money aesthetic with luxurious clothing and high-end cars. Throughout the video, JISOO embodies a beautiful and self-confident woman who would rather crash than give up on love. And when the investigator questions her about her true feelings, the song becomes a firm response — one that instills a sense of determination to fight for love in the listeners.
