Speaking on how "Butter" came about, Variety quoted RM in an interview with Apple Music as saying that "[the band] never expected to release another single, but the virus is getting longer and longer so we thought we need another summer song. We thought we needed another summer number, and 'Butter' was perfectly fit for that. And now we're here".[3]J-Hope described the recording process as "smooth" and the song as "focus[ed] more on showing each of the members' charms compared with 'Dynamite'".[4]

Initial reports about "Butter" called it "a dance pop track brimming with the smooth yet charismatic charm of BTS".[5][6]Rolling Stone described it as "a pure, swaggering dance-pop celebration in the retro vein of Bruno Mars, with layers of Jam and Lewis-style synths", and RM told the outlet that the song "[is] very energetic" and "very summery".[7][8]Forbes called it an "infectious disco-pop track" similar to "Dynamite", with a "pulsating, bass-heavy beat and delectable chorus".[9] Following its release, "Butter" was categorized as a 1980s[10] and 1990s-influenced[11]dance-pop[12] and EDM[13] song with elements of pop rap.[13][14] The song is in [[Time signature| common time]] in the key of A-flat major with a tempo of 110 beats per minute. BTS' vocal range span from A♭3 to E♭5.[15]
At a press conference held on the day of the song's release, RM revealed that while the band wanted to participate in the writing of their next single, they believed "Butter" already sounded "pretty good" and "pretty complete" when they received it, so they chose it out of "many, many songs" that had been sent to them for consideration. He further explained however, that he "changed or added to about half of the song's original rap sections" because "some of the parts like the rap were not fully compatible with our style", and despite there still being "some gaps" in his fluency with English "it came together really quickly since there weren't that many rap sections in the song". Suga also tried writing for the song, as he had actively been studying English during the year prior, but the language barrier was still a problem, so his suggestions were "immediately dropped. No questions, no consideration — just immediately binned".[16] Lyrically, like "Dynamite", "Butter" has "no heavy message";[7]Jimin noted that there was no profound meaning behind the track and that the goal was for it to be "easy to listen to".[17]
A video teaser released on May 18 offered the first preview of the song's lyrics; the line "Get it! Let it roll!" was briefly heard at the end of the clip.[18] Korean news media later reported that the lyrics to "Butter" "cutely confess a sweet, romantic love", and had "BTS' smooth-like-butter unrivalled charms melted into the song".[19][20]

On April 5, 2021, days after the release of their Japanese single "Film Out", it was revealed that BTS would release a new song in May.[21] However, Big Hit Music announced that "we will reveal our artists' plans after they are finalized".[22] On April 26, the single's title and release date were announced in an hour-long YouTube live stream of an animated stick of butter melting. The video featured a countdown with kitchen sounds in the background, and the text "Butter" and "May 21, 2021" appeared at the end of the stream.[23] The livestream amassed over 12.8 million views.[24] Concept photos and video teasers for the song, set to be BTS' second English-language single,[5][6] were shared through the band's official social media in the weeks following.[25] They held a global press conference one hour after the single's release.[26]
BTS appeared as the first guests on Big Hit's new exclusive Melon Station radio series, BigHit Music Record, on May 21 to introduce "Butter" and participate in a Q&A with fans.[27] The single impacted American contemporary hit radio stations on May 25.[28] On May 27, Big Hit announced the release of a house bass electro-dance remix of the song, "Butter (Hotter Remix)", as a thank-you to fans for their support. The announcement was accompanied by new teaser photos for the remix—seven solo shots and one group—featuring a different concept to the original teasers. The remix and its music video premiered globally on all streaming platforms at midnight on May 28.[29][30] New remixes succeeded the release of the "Hotter" version in the weeks following.[來源請求]
The CD single of "Butter" includes "Permission to Dance", a song written by Ed Sheeran, Johnny McDaid, Steve Mac, and Jenna Andrews and produced by Mac, Stephen Kirk, and Andrews. Released on July 9, it also includes instrumental versions of both songs.[31]
Megan Thee Stallion claimed that her label 1501 Certified Entertainment attempted to block the remix release which featured her. Stallion stated that the label's CEO Carl Crawford did not approve of the track because "it would not be good for her career." Stallion sought help from a Texas court.[32] The remix was ultimately released as planned on August 27.[33]
專業評價
為《新音乐快递》撰稿的Rhian Daly稱讚〈Butter〉是“一首乾淨清爽的流行舞曲,在不犧牲即時性或令人難忘的旋律的情況下無疑很酷”,並認為它是夏季歌曲(英语:Song of the summer)的有力競爭者[12]; 《Stereogum》的湯姆·布雷漢 (Tom Breihan) 將這首歌描述為“一首完整的複古迪斯科舞曲,一首為派對而創作的歌曲。這是一首宏大、流暢的派對歌曲,以數學精確度瞄準快樂感受器”,並將其與傻瓜龐克的專輯《超時空記憶體》和火星人布魯諾的作品進行了比較[34];《荷里活娛樂速遞(英语:Entertainment Tonight)》的Zach Seemayer認為這首歌的記憶點(英语:Hook (music))是在於其“真正朗朗上口的節拍”和“有趣”的開場歌詞,並“具有真正熱門的標誌,也具有合乎夏季歌曲的潛力”[35];《滾石》的Althea Legaspi稱〈Butter〉是一首“感覺良好、性感的舞曲”[36];《前音後果》的Mary Siroky將〈Butter〉命名為夏季歌曲,以及“一個充滿合成器的、大搖大擺的曲目舒適地坐在令人上癮的低音線上”[10];《君子雜誌》的Dave Holmes稱這首歌“無法抗拒”,並稱它“滲透了我們自去年三月以來推遲的喜悅”[37];此外,它被命名為《告示牌》的第一首夏季歌曲[38],也是2021年Google搜索次數第七多的歌曲[39];對於梅根·西·斯塔莉安的混音版本,為《少女時尚(英语:Teen Vogue)》撰稿的Natasha Mulenga將混音版本描述為“令人耳目一新”,並且“梅根賦予了這首歌如此多的魅力”。[40]
5月18日,在HYBE LABELS官方YouTube頻道發布時長23秒的〈Butter〉音樂錄影帶預告[18],這段單色短片秀出當“背景中播放著絕妙的打擊樂合奏”時[49],防彈少年團穿著“迪斯科風格並帶有墊肩、亮片和緞面”的西裝[50]、並一動不動地站成一排[18],之後“切換到令人愉悅的八十年代風格、合成器低音融合”的曲風[49],而組合將“顫動、重低音舞曲”的節拍[18]與同步的頭部傾斜動作相匹配[49];該錄影帶預告影片以糖漿覆蓋和上面有一塊奶油的鬆餅的鏡頭做一個結束[18][49];《告示牌》將預告片的“時髦節拍”描述為“讓人想起皇后樂隊的〈Another One Bites the Dust(英语:Another One Bites the Dust)〉”[51],而《印度滾石雜誌》還注意到預告片與皇后樂隊歌曲的“強烈聲音相關性”[49];該錄影帶預告的觀看次數在發布後24小時內破2600萬次[52],並在不久之後突破3500萬次。[4]
〈Butter〉MV在YouTube首播中超過390萬人同時線上觀看,打破在2020年8月,〈Dynamite〉以超過300萬人同時線上觀看MV首播的紀錄,因此為平台上最大的音樂錄影帶首播創造了新的歷史記錄[55][56],除了成為最快破1千萬到1億次觀看的YouTube影片:〈Dynamite〉用20分鐘時間破千萬次觀看時,〈Butter〉僅花13分鐘,之後〈Butter〉以21小時之速度比〈Dynamite〉快3小時破億觀看次數[57][58],還以1億820萬觀看次數成為24小時內最多觀看次數的YouTube影片的歷史新高[55][59],並創造了4項新的金氏世界紀錄[60];這讓防彈少年團成為該平台歷史上規模最大的YouTube首映和24小時音樂首映的兩項亮點[55][61];5月25日,〈Butter〉的觀看次數突破2億次,僅用了4天又1小時就打破了當時的所有里程碑記錄,而〈Dynamite〉則用了4天又12小時[62][63];6月28日,〈Butter〉成為告示牌百大單曲榜史上保持在第1名的最長紀錄,並打破在23年前於1998年發行的史密斯飛船〈我不願錯過這一切(英语:I Don't Want to Miss a Thing)〉的紀錄。[64]
〈Butter〉在2021年6月5日的告示牌百大單曲榜登上冠軍,成為防彈少年團在9個月內拿下第四首該榜單冠軍歌曲,還成為繼賈斯汀·汀布萊克於2006-2007年間的創舉後最快、1970年的傑克森五人組之後首個拿下四首冠軍歌曲的藝人,甚至是唯一有三首登上該榜單領頭羊的組合;這首歌在首週以累積3220萬次串流量、售出242,800份下載量、以及1810萬個電台收視人數的成績,標記著防彈少年團拿下第七個在告示牌數位歌曲榜奪冠的歌曲,也是繼〈Dynamite〉在2020年9月5日週次內售出30萬張之後單周銷售最大的紀錄,另外告示牌指出:〈Butter〉的銷售得益於其原始版本和伴奏版本在第一周打折至69美分所帶來的表現;這首歌也登上告示牌流媒體歌曲榜(英语:Streaming Songs)第4名[81],而在《滚石》百强单曲榜登上第2名,標記著在2021年登上第二高的紀錄,僅次於奧莉維亞·羅德里戈的〈駕照〉,以及當年度銷售量最高的歌曲[82];〈Butter〉在非連續的十週內依然在百大單曲榜以及數位歌曲榜維持冠軍寶座[83]:在2021年7月24日週次榜中,當〈Permission to Dance〉登上冠軍時,〈Butter〉則排名第7,一周後,〈Butter〉再度回到冠軍寶座,使防彈少年團在連續兩周首個取代自己的音樂作品在排行榜冠軍之地位[84];截至2021年7月,這首歌在美國已售出超過一百萬張。[85]
在Spotify上架第一天有1104.2萬次的串流量超過紅髮艾德與小賈斯汀的〈我不在乎(英语:I Don't Care (Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber song))〉在2019年5月發行時的1097.7萬次,〈Butter〉因此寫下該平台的新紀錄而獲得金氏世界紀錄認證[60][94],〈Butter〉還以未經篩選的全球播放量超過2090萬次創下了平台上單日最大播放量的記錄[95],國際唱片業協會在2021年製作,並於隔年2月發布的全球音樂報告中,〈Butter〉以17.6億次全球串流量榮登年度第四佳暢銷數位格式單曲。[96]
5月23日,防彈少年團在韓國與2021年公告牌音乐奖(英语:2021 Billboard Music Awards)現場連線表演〈Butter〉[99],他們穿著“光滑”的黑色燕尾服一邊唱著這首歌,一邊穿過各種精心佈置的場景——後台更衣室區域、錄音棚以及公告牌音乐奖紅毯和舞台的複製品——並伴隨著以“精心修剪”舞蹈動作和歌曲間奏的“爆炸性程序”為特色的“精緻編舞”[100][101];防彈少年團當晚晚些時候在斯蒂芬·科拜尔晚间秀中演唱了這首歌,而這一次則出現在“一個大宴會廳,配備了華麗的枝形吊燈和裝飾藝術特色,並且下著金色的閃光”的布景演出[102];另外,該團體是在5月29日播出之早安美國2021年夏季音樂會陣容中第一個音樂表演藝人,他們將這首歌作為兩首歌曲(其中包括〈Dynamite〉)的一部分演出[103],並於7月1日在Sirius XM Hits 1(英语:Sirius XM Hits 1)再次表演這兩首歌曲[104];在2022年4月3日,防彈少年團於第64屆葛萊美獎表演此歌曲。[105]
與梅根·西·斯塔莉安合作的混音版本的電視全球首演最初定於2021年全美音樂獎,然而這位饒舌歌手後來因個人原因而取消了她在節目中的露面,而防彈少年團則表演了這首歌的原版[106][107];一周後,在SoFi體育場舉辦四天的防彈少年團Permission to Dance on Stage(英语:Permission to Dance on Stage)演唱會的第二晚,她以特別嘉賓身分驚喜現身,並首次與他們一起表演了混音版本的〈Butter〉。[108]
