The single ‘Butter’ released by BTS on May 21st debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s main singles chart ‘Hot 100.’ It maintained its position for seven consecutive weeks.

In addition, BTS RM talked about the back story of ‘Butter.’ He said, “At first, ‘Butter’ came with unfinished rap part. So, we wrote the rap part. I got lucky and mine got picked.” As we all know, RM is responsible for the rap within BTS.
After releasing the single ‘Butter,’ BTS released the single CD ‘Butter’ on July 9th with the new song ‘Permission To Dance.’ Regarding ‘Permission To Dance,’ RM said, “We were torn whether to add rap in it or not. But, since it is complete as it is, rap wouldn’t fit in it. We wanted to add some rap part, too. But, it would ruin the flow completely. That’s why we couldn’t add any.” He added, “Instead, we sang. It’s one key high. I could’ve sung other parts, too, under the original key. But, it’s too high for me. So, we got to work on the part we can be best at. I like my part. Many people love the songs. I am very happy.”
