hi i'm zane lowe here we are [Music] this song is so amazing let's talk about it who wants to tell me a story about making this song and why we're hearing butter and why you singing in english and why it's so darn good firstly uh we never uh actually expected that we we're gonna release another single but you know the virus is like gaining longer and longer so yeah so we thought we need another summer song another

0:35

we thought we we need another summer number and butter was like perfectly fit for that and yeah now we're here with the butter how did you hear it how did you choose it how did you know this was the one butter was the one

1:16

are you listening to it do you listen to your music when it's done as a fan oh man i gotta know what the choreography is saying about this song you gotta come on you gotta let me know what you what are the moves about on this song

1:46

come on now i don't know maybe some sexy vibes on it and it's really cool sexy vibes yeah a little uh in our thoughts maybe yeah not not not in not in your standards but maybe in our standards yes you know i want to talk to you a little bit about fashion i mean obviously as well as making great music each of you brings a unique style into the world of fashion and you work with louis vuitton how has that been how has that

2:13

experience been moving into that space who spends the most amount of money on clothes in the band jehovah i didn't mention frankly speaking i i used to but it's uh the time has passed um i don't i don't really spend much right now so maybe now i think j-hope yeah you mentioned you know the fact that we're still in quarantine and everyone's still playing is safe and um and i love joking around with you but that's a serious thing and

3:07

especially right now other parts of the world it's it's really bad um so how do how does this sort of reflect on what you want to achieve this year as bts we have this incredible song butter but are you feeling inspired you know are you feeling like you want to keep working and creating even though we're tucked away at home uh we have no choice actually um our two biggest base is one thing is maybe making music one thing

3:35

another thing is performance and now performance just collapsed so the only bass we got is still making music so you know in spite of this situation all we all we can do is just keep making music um we've done some kind of like a calm and serious vibes like life goes on and maybe some consoling vibes like dynamite uh now what we can do is just you know release releasing a cool summer song and making people making people dance in their rooms or

4:09

houses or wherever and you know giving them just energies and you know uh helping them survive and i think that's helped helping ourselves too do you want to know how many billions of streams you had on each track does it does

5:01

have there been wonderful moments where do you think your families and your closest friends have kind of quietly just appreciated the fact that the people that they love you individually have have had a reason to not run around

5:18

the world and be so absent and be so away all the time because we know the sacrifice fans truly know the sacrifice of success it doesn't go unnoticed and do you think that in many respects this is a time that your families and friends despite the challenges and the tragedies of of covet will cherish this this time they've had to spend with you without bts being this juggernaut of this machine you know okay [Music] you
