One Twitter user wrote, “can we all agree that BUTTER = SONG OF THE YEAR.” Another user wrote, “I was going through a difficult time, but today when I heard the song Butter. I felt happy and smiled really when I saw your faces and felt happy, thank you guys, you are always in my heart and beside me.”

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Butter was called “a pure, swaggering dance-pop celebration in the retro vein of Bruno Mars, with layers of Jam and Lewis-style synths.” The group’s leader RM said it was “very energetic and very summery,” with a “dynamic performance.”
BTS released Dynamite as a single, followed by their eighth studio album BE in 2020. The album had impressions of loneliness and tragedy induced by the pandemic but also carried an optimistic tone with tracks like “Life Goes On.”
For Dynamite, BTS received its first Grammy nomination in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category. The band lost out on the award but their virtual performance at the ceremony was highly praised.
BTS is a seven-member South Korean band that includes RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook.
