About This Track

Released in May 2021, 'Butter' is a confident, English-language pop track built around slick self-assurance and effortless charm. BTS lean into playful swagger, the lyrics threading metaphors of heat and smoothness into a flirtation that never quite tips into earnest. The hook is direct, the production polished, and the whole thing designed to move without friction.

The song appeared first as a standalone single, later collected on the group's 2022 anthology album 'Proof' alongside earlier hits and rarities. Composed by Jenna Andrews, Rob Grimaldi, and Stephen Kirk, it became a commercial fixture, its longevity at the top of global charts noted as proof of both the group's reach and the track's structural durability. The music video surpassed one billion views on YouTube, its promotional rollout including a livestreamed hour of butter melting, a stunt that held millions of fans in place.

"Butter" is a single by BTS, from the album Proof, released 9th June 2022. The track is 2:45 long. It's filed under K-Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about BTS.

Lyrics

Butter

Smooth like butter, like a criminal undercover
Gon' pop like trouble breaking into your heart like that, ooh
Cool shade, stunner, yeah, I owe it all to my mother, uh
Hot like summer, yeah, I'm making you sweat like that (break it down!)

Ooh, when I look in the mirror
I'll melt your heart into two
I got that superstar glow, so
Ooh (do the boogie, like)

A side step, right-left, to my beat
High like the moon, rock with me, baby
Know that I got that heat
Let me show you 'cause talk is cheap
Side step, right-left, to my beat
Get it, let it roll

Smooth like butter, pull you in like no other
Don't need no Usher to remind me you got it bad
Ain't no other that can sweep you up like a robber
Straight up, I (got ya)
Making you fall like that (break it down)

Ooh, when I look in the mirror
I'll melt your heart into two
I got that superstar glow, so
Ooh (do the boogie, like)

Side step, right-left, to my beat
High like the moon, rock with me, baby
Know that I got that heat
Let me show you 'cause talk is cheap
A side step, right-left, to my beat
Get it, let it roll

Get it, let it roll

Get it, let it roll

Ice on my wrist, I'm the nice guy
Got the right body and the right mind
Rolling up the party, got the right vibe
Smooth like (butter), hate us (love us)
Fresh boy, pull up and we lay low
All the players get moving when the bass low
Got ARMY right behind us when we say so
Let's go

Side step, right-left, to my beat (right-left, to my beat)
High like the moon, rock with me, baby
You know that I got that heat
Let me show you 'cause talk is cheap (you know that talk is cheap)
Side step, right-left, to my beat
Get it, let it roll

Smooth like (butter), cool shade (stunner)
And you know we don't stop
Hot like (summer), ain't no (bummer)
You'll be like, "Oh my God"
We gon' make you rock, and you say (yeah)
We gon' make you bounce, and you say (yeah)
Hotter, sweeter, cooler, butter!

Get it, let it roll
