When BTS posted a short video of them dancing to Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo’s single ‘Savage Love’ on TikTok, ARMY went into detective mode. Several moments later, they found out that Derulo’s Good Morning America performance video on YouTube, actually titled the song ‘Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat) [BTS Remix]’. Of course, this led to the fandom putting pieces together and finally arriving to the conclusion that the collab was real.

The lyric video has surpassed 11 million views, 3 million likes, and more than 268 thousand comments.
We were taken away with Jungkook’s vocals. Like, how can anyone curse and sound so sweet? SUGA and j-hope’s Korean rap was also a highlight in the song, adding their ever-present swag. All of their voices compliment Derulo’s, making this song definitely a bop.
