However, with members of BTS preparing for mandatory military service and slated to return in 2025, uncertainty looms over when—or if—the joint track will see the light of day. Balvin’s slip during the Instagram live session, revealing they’ve hit the studio together, only added to the intrigue.

Despite Balvin’s admission, the release date remains shrouded in mystery, with the artist himself uncertain about its fate. Yet, this hasn’t dampened fans’ spirits, with many hopeful that the song might drop upon BTS’s return from military duties.
Hints of a potential collaboration between J Balvin and BTS have been circulating for a while, with various interactions and social media posts fueling speculation. Friendly exchanges between Balvin and BTS members, particularly J-Hope and Jimin, at events like the Dior Show hinted at a budding camaraderie.
The idea gained traction when BTS’s youngest member, Jungkook, expressed his interest in working with Latin artists like Balvin in a 2023 interview. Balvin’s own social media activity, including sharing BTS content and expressing admiration for Jungkook’s work, added fuel to the fire.
Despite these tantalizing hints and fan fervor, there has been no official confirmation of the collaboration. As fans eagerly await further developments, the potential fusion of Latin and K-pop sounds promises to be a momentous event in the music world.
