BTS have returned!
Fresh from the release of their all-English single 'Butter' last May, the global pop group are back with their new summer bop, 'Permission To Dance' to celebrate their dedicated fanbase, ARMY.
'Permission To Dance' gives BTS fifth Billboard Hot100 number 1 single, Ed Sheeran's fourth number 1 hit as a songwriter
Released today (09/07) on ARMY's 8th anniversary, the cheery pop song was co-written by Ed Sheeran and Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid, and also features Steve Mac, Steve Kirk, and Jenna Andrews in the song credits.
