Charlie Puth dishes on collaborating with BTS’ Jungkook on Left and Right
Left and Right is a pre-release track that will be released as a part of Charlie Puth’s upcoming album, Charlie.
The track was released on June 24 at 1 pm KST (9:30 am IST). Soon after the track was released, fans demanded to know when the music video would be released.
By the time the music video premiered at 2 pm KST (10:30 am IST), Left and Right had already crossed 1 million streams on Spotify.
In a recent interview with Z100 New York, Charlie Puth spilled the beans on why he specifically wanted to collaborate with the Euphoria singer on this track.
Charlie Puth revealed that Bangtan's maknae member (youngest) was his first choice and almost instantly wanted him on board for Left and Right.
“He immediately came to mind because, and by the way, I didn’t even know they were going on a ‘hiatus’ when I reached out to him and asked if he’d like to be part of it.”
Charlie Puth further dished on his love for BTS and how he is always excited at the prospect of working with them:
“But we have a musical history together. We had performed on an award show four years prior. We had always sent each other music that we loved, he would always talk about me in interviews, and I would always talk about him in interviews.”
The duo previously performed Charlie Puth’s We Don’t Talk Anymore at the 2018 MBC Plus X Genie Music Awards. We hope to see Jungkook and Charlie Puth perform this track live together.
