\"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.
