Galantis and Got7's Jackson Wang drop teasers for collaborative single 'Pretty Please', fans 'can't wait'

Galantis and Jackson Wang are sending out teasers every day, counting down to their upcoming collaboration 'Pretty Please'

Just off the back of the Selena Gomez x Blackpink single 'Ice Cream', we can look forward to one more US-Asian creative music mixing with another exciting collaboration. 

Swedish DJ duo Galantis and K-pop rapper Jackson Wang from Got7 are joining musical forces on their upcoming single 'Pretty Please'. Both Galantis and Wang have been teasing the new track on their individual social media accounts over the past week with similar captions and pictures for each teaser. The first announcement came on August 28.

Each day since then has seen Galantis, comprising Linus Eklow and Christian "Bloodshy" Karlsson, along with Wang counting down the days with a new photo. Each photo shows Wang posing in several public locations in South Korea, in front of a local restaurant, leaning against a street light and more.

The latest post drew a lot of love and excitement from fans. "In love with the aesthetic!! Can't wait to be surprised!!!," said a fan of the teaser pic on Instagram. "You deserve everything in this world," wrote a Jackson Wang fan. Over on Twitter, fans are just as hyped for the new single, sharing that they "can't wait." 

"Yas pretty please," said a fan while another wrote, "THE CONCEEEEEEPT!!!!!"

Many fans were quick to share their support for Wang. "I'm very happy to follow your success and that you are winning more and more people with your talent. I'm so proud of you, you deserve this and more. I love you forever. let's keep making history together #TEAMWANG," wrote one fan.

One fan said, "Jackson, I love you so much. you're everything to me. thank you for exposing and bringing light to my days. with love, a Brazilian ahgase. never forget that we love you."

An "ahgase" refers to the name of a fan for Wang's K-pop boy group Got7. A Hong Kong rapper now based in South Korea, Wang moved to Seoul, South Korea, in 2011 to pursue a career in K-pop. In 2014, after over two years of training, Wang debuted as a member of Got7 with the single 'Girls Girls Girls'. He is also active in his home country of China as a solo artiste and television host.

'Pretty Please' will mark the rapper's first collaboration with Galantis. Wang has previously teamed up with notable artistes on other tracks. In 2018, Wang released the non-album single 'Different Game' which features American rapper, Gucci Mane. Wang has also worked with Swae Lee and Major Lazer on 'Walking' which released last year.

Meanwhile, Galantis have been quiet about new music in 2020 since the release of their latest album. Titled 'Church', the LP is their third studio album which released in February. So, for fans, 'Pretty Please' is an effort by the duo that is most welcome.
