BTS’s ‘Butter’ Will Melt Your Heart—Read the Full Lyrics to Their Hit Single Here
ARMYs already know how smooth the boys are, but allow BTS’ “Butter” lyrics to serve as a reminder. The single marks the latest English-language track for the boys following the release of their wildly successful hit “Dynamite” in 2020—and let’s just say that it does not disappoint.
The Bangtan Boys released “Butter” on Friday, May 21, 2021, to much excitement from ARMYs and beyond. It’s the pre-summer anthem we were all waiting for, and as far as we can tell, it’s about to be the soundtrack to everyone’s #ShotGirlSummer (if you know, you know). The boys first teased the track during an interview with Rolling Stone on May 13. “It’s very energetic. And very summery. It has a very dynamic performance,” RM said of “Butter.” Their label Big Hit Entertainment even described the song as one that “will melt its way into the hearts of all ARMY,” and TBH, they aren’t wrong.

As for BTS’ “Butter” lyrics themselves, there isn’t much symbolism or deep theories to parse through. Much like 2020’s “Dynamite,” this is just a purely feel-good piece of dance music; though, you will find some subtle allusions to some of BTS’ biggest pop idols. Lyrics like “Smooth like butter / Like a criminal undercover,” are a nod to none other than the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson, and his 1988 hit, “Smooth Criminal.” Keep on reading for the full version of BTS’ “Butter” lyrics, via Genius, below.

Smooth like butter
