On the 25th of July, 2022, Benny Blanco dropped the news of his collaboration with BTS. While ARMY had been awaiting the release of a rumored track by BTS with Snoop Dogg, what they had not expected was a massive collaboration with BTS, Snoop Dogg, and Benny Blanco coming together.
The song was the first group song to drop since BTS announced their ‘hiatus’ which made people highly anticipate its release. The song finally dropped on August 5th, 2022 featuring Benny Blanco and Snoop Dogg with the song having been sung by them as well as the vocal line of BTS: Jin, Jimin, Jungkook, and Taehyung. The song, with its upbeat music and hilarious music video, won the hearts of ARMYs.
The Music Video
Benny Blanco has always been a goofy personality. This trait has also almost always been transferred to his audience through both his music videos and his stage performances. In this particular music video, Benny takes up the character of an ARMY who is overjoyed with the thought of going to a BTS concert; very relatable to many.
The music video follows the theme of ‘fangirling’ with a vast majority of the visuals being in the infamous purple hue that is associated with BTS. Benny Blanco acts out the life of a fan getting ready to attend a BTS concert. He bakes a purple cake, prepares the perfect outfit, and then makes his way to the stadium.
The comedic portion of the video begins when Benny runs late and in the process ends up both (accidently) ruining the cake and leaving his car in the center of the main road. He runs all the way to the stadium only to find out from the security guard that the concert is a day later. Benny, however, does not go home and instead waits outside (much like what ARMYs have been seen doing for several years) despite having a pre-assigned seat.
The Song & Lyrics
The song opens with Snoop Dogg, moving on to Jungkook, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jin singing their respective lines. While the members of BTS do sing most of it, Snoop Dogg only takes part in a small portion - much to a lot of fans’ disappointment. The song gives writing credits to Benny Blanco, Mike Posner, Blake Slatkin, Cashmere Cat, and Snoop Dog: all of whom have given several pop and hip-hop hits in their careers so far.
Benny Blanco is a contemporary pop writer known massively for his well-made pop lyrics and that pattern is followed in this song too. The song is an electronic synth-pop single with its lyrics alluding to obsessing over someone that one loves and liking them just for being with you in the moment. Not only have the lyrics been curated to fit perfectly with the beat, they also suit each of the BTS members’ tone and style of singing, making the song more and more catchy with every lyric.
The song has already trended on social media with people either making edits of the members of BTS with this song or dancing to its upbeat tune. Unsurprisingly, with all the love the song is receiving, the collaboration seems to have been a rather good decision.
