The 3-minute song cover follows BTS' announcement on V Live that they are preparing a single that will be released on August 21 and will be in English.

“We are preparing an album for the second half of this year, but decided to first release a single because we wanted to reach our fans as soon as possible,” they said.

“The song is upbeat and sung in English, just like 'Mic Drop' and 'Waste It On Me.'

“We thought that the song sounded perfect as it is in English. We recorded the guide version and felt that the result was something new and fresh.”

The new album will be produced by the septet as each member was put in charge of various parts of the project.

On July 28, midnight, Columbia Records tagged BTS and even tweeted a countdown website hinting the different times each teaser will be released leading up to the single.
