Industry observers point out that following up a historic solo record is no easy feat for any artist. However, Rosé continues to push forward with new sounds and individual releases that showcase her artistic evolution outside the collective identity of her group. Prior to dropping "new trick," Rosé scored one of the biggest pop hits of the year. Her 2024 duet "APT," which featured global superstar Bruno Mars, became a massive international juggernaut. The catchy collaboration dominated streaming platforms and went viral globally, quickly standing out as the single most successful solo release to ever come from a BlackPink member.
