American singer-songwriter Charlie Puth dropped Friday his new song “Left and Right” featuring BTS vocalist Jungkook.
The track and its accompanying music video featured Puth and the youngest BTS member together and in solo shots, pining over a past love.
“Left and Right” is Puth’s third song in 2022, leading up to his third solo album, simply titled” Charlie”, set to be released this year via Atlantic.
The pop singer/songwriter released “Light Switch” in January and “That’s Hilarious” in April.
BTS shocked fans back on June 14 with an announcement that they were going on a hiatus to work on solo projects.
The band— which also includes RM, Jin, Suga, Jimin, and V—announced the break during their FESTA dinner, which is part of an annual celebration of their founding.
A representative for the band has confirmed the news, adding: “To be clear, they are not on hiatus but will take time to explore some solo projects at this time and remain active in various different formats.”
In a livestream video, Jungkook told viewers — according to a rep — that while the band will spend time focusing on their own projects and noted they aren’t going to stop working together as a team and are not disbanding.
BTS, also known as the Bangtan Boys, began forming in 2010 after Big Hit Entertainment founder Bang Si-hyuk recruited RM followed by Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.
However, the band officially debuted in 2013. Since then, the artists have gone on to experience dynamite success, including two Grammy nominations, six no. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and an ARMY of fans.
