In a clip shared on PSY’s Instagram page SUGA revealed that he doesn’t normally meet with artists he collaborates with. He said,

To be honest, I haven’t gotten that close with anyone I collab with. It’s because I’m not the type to meet up and collaborate in-person, but he wanted to see me in person. While producing, we went back and forth a lot. I seriously didn’t expect to be dancing with PSY. I thought I was only writing the song!” SUGA

He also shared that he was nervous to work with such an established artist but the process was Soo good that he considers PSY a bestie.

He’s many years my senior and someone so who’s so well-respected in the business, the experience felt like working with a childhood friend, so it made the songwriting process that much more fun.” SUGA
