Over 800,000 fans tuned in to the surprise video–which lasted a little over an hour– and followed the journey of a small animated cube of butter with BTS’ logo as it slowly melted into the shape of a heart. The bright yellow video also featured sounds of a busy kitchen and a timer counting down to the announcement. Once the clock ran out, the livestream briefly displayed the word “Butter” and the track’s release date, May 21st 2021 at 1 PM KST (9:30 AM IST,) before ending. According to a press release from BTS’ label Big Hit Music, the track will explore dance pop.
The band recently dropped a new cut titled “Film Out,” which became a global hit just a few weeks ago.
