Here's Everything To Know About BTS' New Single "Butter"

Following rumors that BTS is making a comeback in May, Big Hit announced on Monday, April 26, the group is dropping a new single called "Butter." Get ready, ARMYs, because it will be here sooner than you know it. To prepare, here's everything you need to know about BTS' "Butter," including its release date, music video, performances, and more.

According to a press release by Big Hit, "Butter" will be BTS' second English single following "Dynamite," which they released in August 2020 and became their first No. 1 Billboard hit. Apparently, the new song will be just as upbeat as "Dynamite" because the agency teased it's a "dance pop track brimming with the smooth yet charismatic charm of BTS." To make things even more exciting, Big Hit predicted "Butter" will be "another summer smash hit." Considering "Dynamite" was all over radio stations and was even nominated for a Grammy, it seems "Butter" will be huge as well.

Comeback rumors surrounding the group first rose when Sports Donga reported on April 4 that BTS had a new single planned for release in May. As it turns out, those rumors were true because "Butter" will be here next month. Here's everything fans need to know about BTS' "Butter" before it arrives.
