00:02You just did five, potentially six, on BTS' Up and Coming album.
00:07J-Hope is like, yo, they say you do all the dope raps.
00:15BTS is finally back with Arirang.
00:18See, I said it right, Jimin.
00:19Arirang.
00:20Ari Reign.
00:21Arirang.
00:22Every rhyme.
00:28We chatted with a songwriter on the album about the tracks.
00:38I was like, yo, this song is beautiful.
00:40Because it's real.
00:41And I feel like when you hear it, it just sounds like an early 2000s anthem.
00:48I was just like, well, this is it.
00:49This is the moment.
00:50This is the moment that I've been working for.
00:51The melodies just came.
00:53And the whole time, I'm just watching through my peripheral.
00:57Watching the room.
00:58They're excited.
00:59I'm excited.
00:59It sounded great.
01:00He also helped create the lead single, Swim.
01:08But when did he know it was going to be a single?
01:11Thanks, ARMY.
01:12Because on the track, that's how they had it lined up.
01:14They had black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black.
01:16And then I think Swim was red.
01:18And at that moment, we were just like, oh, yeah.
01:20This has got to be the single.
01:21And then Twitter tells you everything.
01:23So I went to Twitter and watched the shout out to the BTS ARMY.
01:27They're amazing because they keep you up to date on everything.
01:35They were very open and receptive when it came to the collaborating process.
01:39When I was laying down some of the melodies, there would be times when they would get up and start
01:44dancing, come by the mic and start vibing out with me and just motivating me and getting me
01:49excited and getting me to feel comfortable about what I'm doing because we knew that we were going
01:53to put these records out and it was going to touch the world.
02:02I can't.
02:03This is simply too much.
02:04They name dropped my girl Britney in fire.
02:13The creator learned a lot hanging with BTS, including to show up with style.
02:18Got off the flight.
02:19I think I had on like a like a Nike sweat or I might have had on.
02:23I had on something, something that was kind of plain.
02:26I said, something tells me that they're going to be fly.
02:28So I go and I asked one of the A&Rs there.
02:31I said, hey, is it a possibility if I could use the bathroom to change my outfit?
02:35I put on these new Balenciaga basketball sneakers that they came out with.
02:39As soon as I walked in, now I see all of them.
02:42I see RM.
02:43I see J-Hope.
02:44I see Suga.
02:45I'm then as soon as we had stopped talking about music in that quick second,
02:50they looked at my outfit and was like, yo, what's that?
02:53And then we just started talking about fashion.
02:55They started putting me onto their fashion and it became one of those things where I was like,
02:59yo, you know what?
03:01This is dope because they really are tapped in when it comes down to everything.
03:04When this happens every time.
03:09To be able to really just sit back and just see the final masterpiece is just like, yo,
03:16we did this.
03:17Like as a team, as a group, as a unit, as geniuses, as BTS ARMY, we did this.
03:24How will this all shape up on the Billboard Hot 100?
03:27Make sure you check out the Hot 100 show next week.
