"Side step, right, left to my beat / High like the moon, rock with me, baby / Know that I got that heat / Let me show you 'cause talk is cheap / Side step, right, left to my beat / Get it, let it roll," the Grammy nominees playfully invite in the chorus.

The septet, while flaunting how they are "smooth like butter," also shout out their fans when rapping, "All the playas get movin' when the bass low / got ARMY right behind us when we say so."

Of course, BTS treated fans to a colorful and fresh new music video to accompany their new release, which is full of dancing and snappy outfits.

"If you hear the title 'Butter,' you know immediately that we tried to prepare a song that's easy listening, instead of [something with] a really heavy or profound message," band member Jimin said during a press conference for the new release, according to Variety. "This is a little embarrassing, but it's something smooth like butter, that really melts into and grabs hold of you. It's a very cute song, sort of a confession."

BTS is also comprised of members Jin and Suga, who are both 28, J-Hope, 27, RM, 26, V, 25, and Jungkook, 23.
