“‘Butter,’ you know, it’s summer,” BTS’ RM told Billboard in 2021. “It’s very, kind of like seasoning. It’s [an] upbeat, fresh dance-pop track, a summer anthem. Just all positive vibes and upbeat energy.”
The celebratory song glided in atop the Billboard Hot 100 dated June 5, 2021. It went to become not just a summer anthem, but that year’s biggest, ruling the chart for 10 weeks and wrapping atop the Songs of the Summer recap.
