This marks the second time Sheeran’s written for BTS, the first being the song Make It Right off BTS’ Map of the Soul: Persona EP in 2019.
Korean media outlet Newsen also quoted a source from BTS’ label Big Hit Music confirming Sheeran’s collaboration with the Dynamite singers.
“It is true that Ed Sheeran is participating in BTS’s new song,” said the source.
However, Big Hit Music stayed mum regarding the release date of the song.
Fans have been speculating that the song written by Sheeran might be dropped as part of BTS’ rerelease of Butter on July 9, which will include the hit single along with a fresh new track.
