Blackpink's Rosé Blends Lana Del Rey and Paul Simon in Howard Stern Medley

Rosé, the BLACKPINK member and New Zealand artist, appeared on The Howard Stern Show for a solo showcase where she performed her hit single "APT.", featuring Bruno Mars, as well as a unique medley blending Lana Del Rey's "Norman Fucking Rockwell" and Paul Simon's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover." She adapted the lyrics of Del Rey's song to be less explicit and delivered a bluesy, funk-infused cover that connected the themes of both tracks. During the show, she also shared the original demo of "APT.", highlighting the song's evolution before Bruno Mars' contribution. "APT." has been a major success, breaking records such as topping the Billboard Global 200 for 12 weeks and becoming the fastest K-pop song to surpass one billion streams on Spotify. Rosé's performance and candid conversation about her career and training highlighted her versatility and growing solo presence amid BLACKPINK's ongoing global activities.
