After much anticipation, Grammy-nominated South Korean pop music group BTS has finally released its full schedule for the upcoming single and its release date. The Billboard Hot 100 topper group will release their new comeback dance-pop track on May 21. Here's all you need to know about it.

BTS recently released their Japanese single 'Film Out' which will be a part of their upcoming Japanese album 'BTS, The Best.'

Concept

BTS 'Butter' will essentially dwell on the dance-pop genre which will exude the group's magnetic charm and mark the group's second English single after last year's record-breaking hit 'Dynamite' which reigned the global music charts for months. 'Dynamite' also brought the 21st-century pop icons their first-ever Grammy nod for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, making the South Korean Music act the first Korean group to get the nomination.
