The track is the second English-language release from the K-pop stars
K-pop juggernauts BTS have returned with their brand-new single, ‘Butter’.
The song marks the second English-language single from the K-pop boyband, following last year’s ‘Dynamite’. BTS had earlier described ‘Butter’ as a “very summery” song that has a “superstar glow” to it.
In the song’s accompanying vibrant music video, the septet suits up and dance on colourful sets. Later, they switch out to gym clothes and continue grooving on a court. “Smooth like butter / Like a criminal undercover / Gon’ pop like trouble / Breakin’ in your heart like that,” Jungkook declares at the top of the song.
BTS will perform ‘Butter’ live for the first time this Sunday (May 23) at the Billboard Music Awards 2021, where the group is up for four awards. The boyband has been nominated for Top Duo/Group, Top Social Artist, and Top Song Sales Artist, as well as Top Selling Song for ‘Dynamite’. Their upcoming BBMAs appearance will also mark the fourth consecutive year the boyband has attended the awards ceremony.
The South Korean boyband is also expected to make a special cameo in the upcoming Friends reunion, which is slated to premiere on HBO in the US on May 27. They join other celebrity guests like Lady Gaga, David Beckham, Justin Bieber, James Corden, and more, who are also confirmed to make appearances.
