APT became a global hit in 2024 for Rosé and Bruno Mars, built around the chant from a Korean apartment drinking game. Its simple, repetitive chorus made it ideal for remixes and parody covers online, including animal versions where the vocals are replaced by meowing. The meow meow meow version spread through short video platforms as creators paired it with pet clips and edits. It remains popular because the melody is familiar within seconds, while the cat sounds provide an immediate, family friendly twist for memes.
