K-pop
sensation
BTS
on
Friday
unveiled
their
latest
song
"Permission
to
Dance",
an
upbeat
track
about
spreading
happiness
through
dance
and
music.
The
new
track
is
part
of
K-pop
group's
CD
single
'Butter',
which
also
includes
their
chartbuster
number
and
the
instrumental
versions
of
the
two
songs.
The
septet
--
comprising
RM,
Jin,
Suga,
J-Hope,
Jimin,
V,
and
Jungkook
--
have
collaborated
with
British
musician
Ed
Sheeran
and
producer
Steve
Mac
for
the
song.
The
cheerful
and
optimistic
track
inspires
others
to
move
to
the
rhythm
and
music.
In
the
nearly
five-minute-long
track,
the
group,
which
is
equally
popular
for
their
often
effortless
dance
moves,
performs
in
a
carefree
and
energetic
manner.
There
is
also
an
abundance
of
balloons
in
the
video,
especially
purple
ones,
which
is
the
colour
that
symbolises
the
K-pop
band
and
its
die-hard
fan
base,
also
known
as
Army.
"Permission
to
Dance" was
written
by
Sheeran
and
Snow
Patrol
singer
Johnny
McDaid,
along
with
frequent
Sheeran
collaborator,
British
producer
Steve
Mac,
as
well
as
"Butter"
co-writer
Jenna
Andrews.
BTS
will
perform
the
new
track
during
their
two-night
stint
on
July
13
and
14
on
NBC's
"The
Tonight
Show
Starring
Jimmy
Fallon",
marking
their
live
debut
of
the
song
on
a
US
television
show.
Meanwhile,
the
K-pop
group's
smash
hit
track
"Butter"
has
topped
the
Billboard
Hot
100
chart
for
six
consecutive
weeks,
which
marks
their
longest
run
on
the
No.1
spot.
