BTS just released the official teaser for their music video ‘Butter’ and it’s got fans melting into puddles! And not just fans, it seems — even renowned rock band Queen is geared up to see the full music video as well.
Based on the teaser, ‘Butter’ sounds like a retro pop-rock track that’s got everyone moving along to the infectious beat. The 20-second audio clip is filled with groovy synth-bass that will leave you feeling nostalgic (the video is shot in black and white too), especially seeing the boys decked out in classic power suits.
It can be said that the theme and visual direction of the video show BTS paying homage to rock legends with their ‘80s aesthetic, and one rock legend in particular shouts back!
Prior to this, fans took notice that ‘Butter’ sounds similar to Queen’s ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ and decided to layer the track over the teaser video.

BTS has also previously shown their love for Queen during their LOVE YOURSELF concert at Wembley Stadium.

It didn’t stop there, though. Further inspection by fans has sparked comparisons between the two bands, especially Jimin and the late Freddie Mercury, who unfortunately passed away back in 1991 at the age of 45. The cause of his death was bronchial pneumonia caused by AIDS. His legacy, however, lives on.
