South Korean boy band sensation BTS announced Monday that its newest single “Butter” will be released next month, making this the second English-language song the group has produced.

The song is described as a “dance-pop track brimming with the smooth yet charismatic charm of BTS.” It’s scheduled for release on May 21, according to a press release.

BTS teased its fans with a YouTube live stream video that was nothing more than a yellow animated stick of butter and a kitchen timer in the background. This was just a sneak peek into its newest single and has already surpassed 7 million views on the platform.

Many fans took to Twitter to not only announce their excitement about the release, but to also predict that the single would break even more records than “Dynamite.”

Released in August, “Dynamite” was the group’s first English-language single. It was the longest-charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 by a South Korean artist, as well as was the longest-running No. 1 on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales Chart.

BTS has signed deals with McDonald’s and Louis Vuitton.
