BTS's 'Butter' Breaks YouTube Record

YouTube has not released its official numbers, but during the premiere the video had over 3.89 million concurrent viewers.

Like "Dynamite," "Butter" is a feel-good bop meant to bring joy to fans just in time for the summer. "For me, in the past year listening to our music, received a lot of consolation and healing," Suga said during their "Butter" global press conference. "It made me realize this is how people feel when they listen to our music, so I think the way I see music and my values and my goals changed a lot during this process."

And though it's not the main intention, their new single is another step towards their dream of getting a Grammy. RM said, "We are thinking of the Grammys. We will try to do whatever we can to set that as a goal and go towards that goal."
