After a week of breaking records with their second English single, the 21st-century pop icons BTS has dropped a new music video along with ‘Butter (Hotter Remix)’. The music video is an amalgamation of fun, electric, goofy and yet very alluring.
While the official video that dropped on May 21 was all about the electric performance with razor-sharp choreography, the remix version is more laid back and adds a lot of BTS’ goofy humour. Dressed in sharp black and white suits with sparkly embellishments, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook get their individual spotlight in this version. There are Suga’s signature dance bits, Jimin’s anti-gravity moves, V’s alluring yet goofy charms, J-Hope’s smooth moves, Jin’s hilarious bits, RM’s strong persona and Jungkook’s sharp moments. The music video brings out the fun flavour without losing its cool demeanour. It’s all about BTS’s charms and fun personality.
On May 28 at midnight, Big Hit Music announced the remix on Weverse which read, “We would like to express our appreciation to all ARMY for the incredible love and support you have shown for ‘Butter’, the new digital single by BTS. To provide all fans with even more diverse ways to enjoy the music of BTS, we have prepared a remix version of ‘Butter’.”
It further read, “‘Butter (Hotter Remix)’ will exude a feel that’s delightfully different from the original song’s bright and lively mood. We hope ‘Butter (Hotter Remix)’ and its new take on the inimitable charm of BTS will fill your entire day with sizzling energy.”
On May 25, Guinness World Records confirmed that the septet’s new single broke the record for the most viewers for the premiere of a video on YouTube with 3.9 million concurrent viewers for its premiere on 21 May 2021.
