What's it like making big hits with BTS_twt? In a word: 'historic,' says songwriter AugustRigo

A very long, tedious journey … because I’d been doing K-pop since 2013 and going back and forth to South Korea to write songs there.To be honest, I had a very North American ego. The first time I got [to S. Korea], I really had to learn the process of what they’re looking for and how to integrate what I do into what they do. There’s a real process and vibe that’s theirs alone. There’s a lot of structure I had to adhere to and a lot of different formats.

Describe the workflow and collaboration process for a song like “On,” which has contributors writing in multiple languages. They gave me a few references — an instrumental track, produced by their team, which I would write the melodies to. I’d actually write a whole song: concept-wise, lyrics, everything. They’d take the gist of my melodic structures and the cadence and my words and translate it. Some of my words stayed, like the easily understandable stuff in English. But that’s why you see so many writers because they might’ve taken my pre-chorus, or verse or hook, then decided “we need a rap part of it.

There’s a juxtaposition of something very heavy. The energy behind the song wasn’t as dark, but it did have a dark undertone. I tried to give something that felt international, that didn’t just feel K-pop. … There are dark times when you’re an artist. Even for myself coming up, that’s why I feel a personal attachment to what BTS are doing. It’s a very artistic look at what they go through internally. The deepest meaning of these songs is that they’re real artists, and they’re human as well.

A qué vino la pelea de/con Puspos? No caxé qué pasó y eso que leí el artículo.

BTS_twt augustrigo at no point did he discredit them. you cant talk as if you know what actually went on during the process of making and writing the songs, all you know is that both his name and bts’ names were used in the credits and that’s all you NEED to know. stop picking fights for no reason

BTS_twt i would love that yall media do this kind of questions to BTS because yall always come with the collab question and a bunch of nonsense

BTS_twt When will we have an article interviewing in-house BigHit producers & BTS members on their album-making process? That'd be dope.
