The boys spoke to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe ahead of the Billboard Music Awards about “Butter.” RM said the pandemic was the impetus behind the new track: “Firstly, we never actually expected that we were going to release another single, but the virus is getting longer and longer so we thought we need another summer song,” RM said. “We thought we needed another summer number, and ‘Butter’ was perfectly fit for that. And now we’re here.”
The K-pop group told Lowe, via an interpreter, that “it’s been a while since we actually released a summer song. I think not since ‘Fire,’ almost. We wanted to create a song that’s really upbeat, that’s a really summer song that, as you said, it makes people happy and go out and dance. That’s what we want to do. We wanted to have a summer song that can heal and console people. That’s why we chose this song and that’s why we decided to release this song. This is a really fun song so when we finished recording it, we all listened to it together. Then we were saying to each other, ‘This is so great. This is such a fun song.’ Now, of course, we’ve heard it a lot, maybe too much. Actually, when we hear the song the most is when we’re doing our choreo practice. That’s when we actually hear the song.”
