During a recent interview amid ‘ARIRANG‘ promotions, the producer Diplo reveals that BTS‘ song ‘Into The Sun’ was created in 20 minutes, coming from Jimin’s sound idea.
In conversation with Billboard News, the famous DJ talked about the boy group being so sure of the type of music they wanted to do and share with their fans. He said that one of the moments that “sticks out” for him was when they made ‘Into The Sun.’
The producer started telling us that he arrived late that day, and there was Tyler Johnson playing the guitar with Jimin singing with a distorted voice that gave them the first idea for the chorus of the song.
“We’re just like this is perfect. This is kind of like a hook. And then we just tracked that and then, me, Tizo, Cayenne, Jimin and V kind of work on this idea like what can the song be about and that’s probably the fastest song that happened. It was like in 20 minutes.”
