Big Hit Entertainment announced on the 27th through the community platform "BTS Weverse" and BTS's official Twitter, "BTS's digital single will be released on August 21st of this year.".

Prior to the official announcement, BTS revealed the news of the single's release on the 27th at midnight through a broadcast on NAVER VLIVE's official channel.

The members said, "We decided to release the single on August 21st for ARMY," and "We are preparing the album we are working on with the goal of releasing it in the second half of this year, but we decided to release the single first because we wanted to show it to you quickly. It's a difficult time worldwide due to COVID-19, but we wanted to give our fans energy.".

Regarding this new song, BTS said, "It's a very fun English song, similar to 'MIC Drop' that we released before, or 'Waste It On Me' which we featured on. We thought this song would suit singing in English the best. When we recorded the guide, it felt new.".

They added, "In an unexpected situation, we also needed a new breakthrough, and we came to prepare this song. It's a fresh attempt and a challenge for us. We want to share this feeling with everyone. We want to enjoy this song together with you as soon as possible.".
