The members were asked what prompted them to do an all-English track for the first time, Namjoon said, "When we first listened to the demo, we just loved it as it is, so we thought, ‘Why not do it this way?’ So we just kept the demo and recorded it, and it became a whole new challenge for us too.” Taehyung chipped in and added, "I hope fans will draw a lot of energy from this new song." 

The discussion moved towards the band's new album and Mochi, who is the music project manager of the album, said, "I think this was a healing process for us too. But working on the album made us realize that there’s something we can do.” Namjoon chipped in to add, "It’s going to be new and fresh, and it’s going to be a little different from the single ‘Dynamite’ as well. That’s all I can say!”

While the Bangtan leader zipped his lips soon after, the band was asked about their thoughts on the Black Lives Matter donation. For the uninitiated, BTS along with Big Hit Entertainment donated USD 1 million which was matched by the ARMY within 24 hours. Suga opened up about the donation and won us over. Yoongi said, "We just want the world to be a better place."
