About this song
Butter is BTS's second English-language song, following Dynamite, and it was set to get wider promotion on radio stations. It debuted at number one on the Hot 100, the band's third track to do so and their fourth to reach number one on that chart. The song was produced by Rob Grimaldi, Stephen Kirk, and Ron Perry, with Perry, the chairman and CEO of Columbia Records, credited as producer in one of the few times he has received that credit.
What it's about
