For ones not aware, how did your collaboration with Jason Derulo come about?
Simply, he just hit me up on Instagram and we had a chat for a short while, then our teams brought it together. We had the song up and running pretty quick for all to listen and enjoy.
How did the back and forth process go between you, Jason and BTS for the making of Savage Love Remix?
#SavageLoveRemix OUT NOW ! - Jawsh 685 x @jasonderulo x @bts.bighitofficial .
It was quite fun, just throwing around ideas and mixes until we got it how we wanted it to sound. Not only for us but for the supporters and fans. I know BTS has a really huge fanbase that is massively passionate. We wanted to make it sound good for them too, being new to the track, you know.
What was your take on Suga and J-Hope's Korean lyrics that added a different flavour to Savage Love?
It was just very cool; knowing it was clearly in another language made it more unique than it was to start with. BTS did a great job!
What did you think of Jungkook's recent cover of Savage Love Remix that went viral on Twitter?
Clean clean clean! Sounds hella nice.
BTS ARMY are some of the most loyal fanbases out there; how do you feel to be accepted with so much love showered upon you by them?
I feel frkn beast. Much much love and respect out toward the ARMY. They got behind us and put us at the top, can’t thank them enough.
