Background and release

Ed sent us this amazingly good song, and as soon as we listened to it we just couldn't resist it. We thought it went really well with our image too, so we just went with it.

—  J-hope talked about working with Ed Sheeran, Entertainment Weekly [1]

On May 21, 2021, BTS released their second English-language single "Butter" to critical and commercial success. [2] The song was initially released digitally, as a cassette, and as a 7-inch vinyl. [3] On June 15, BTS announced a CD release of "Butter" alongside the announcement for a new song. [4] On June 27, Ed Sheeran revealed in an interview with Most Requested Live that he wrote a song for BTS, stating "I've actually worked with BTS on their last record, and I've just written a song for their new record". [5] On July 1, the group revealed the tracklist for the CD release, announcing the song's title as "Permission to Dance". [6] The song was released on July 9, 2021, alongside its instrumental. [7] [8]

Composition

"Permission to Dance" was written by Ed Sheeran, Johnny McDaid, Steve Mac and Jenna Andrews, with production being handled by Mac and Andrews alongside Stephen Kirk. [9] Sheeran had previously co-written "Make It Right", from BTS's Map of the Soul: Persona (2019). [5] The song is performed in the key of E major with a tempo of 125 beats per minute in common time with BTS vocals range spanning from C♯4 to B5. [10] Big Hit initially described that the song "will make your heart beat to the rhythm of BTS's positive energy". [4] It is a upbeat dance-pop track which is accompanied by a powerful string section, bouncy piano lines, and an enticing melody. [11] [12]

Commercial performance

"Permission to Dance" debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, on the issue dated July 24, 2021, earning 15.9 million streams, 1.1 million radio airplay impressions, and selling 140,000 copies in its first week of release. The song replaced "Butter" from the top of the chart, marking the first time an artist had self-replaced themselves since Drake's "In My Feelings" replaced his own "Nice for What" in 2018. The song also became BTS' fifth number-one hit on the chart in ten months and two weeks, making them the artist with the fastest accumulation of five number-one singles since Michael Jackson did so in 1988. Additionally, it became their fourth single to debut atop the Hot 100, extending their record as the group with the most number-one single debuts (tied with Justin Bieber and Drake, but behind Ariana Grande, who has five). On the Digital Songs chart, "Permission to Dance" became BTS' eighth number-one, extending their record as the group with the most number-one hits on the chart. [13] The song debuted atop the Billboard Hot Trending Songs, a chart powered by Twitter which tracks the most-discussed songs on the platform. [14]

In September, Oricon reported that the single had crossed 100 million streams in Japan, becoming BTS' fifth song to do so. This made the band the second male artist to have five songs accumulate as many streams in the country—Official Hige Dandism holds the record with seven. [15]

Reception

In her 4-star review for NME, Rhian Daly wrote that "Permission to Dance" cemented BTS status as "kings of the feel-good summer smash." She described the song a "classic, uplifting pop" which results in an "undeniable surge of infectious energy." [16]

Accolades

Unlike with past singles, BTS did not attend any domestic television music programs to promote "Permission to Dance", [17] but still won eight first-place trophies, and achieved a Triple Crown on Inkigayo. [17] The song also won the Melon Popularity Award for five consecutive weeks from July 19 to August 16, 2021. [18]

Synopsis

A scene in the music video where BTS can be seen doing sign language as part of the choreography.

Set in a post-pandemic world, [35] the band members are seen dancing in multiple settings including a sunny locale, a laundromat, and a patio. [36] The video's emphasis on service workers echoes the message of BTS's 2018 song "Anpanman," which was inspired by the Japanese picture book hero of the same name and was a promise by the members to give their all in improving the lives of fans; when they debuted their performance, they dressed in the uniforms of firefighters and construction workers, the everyday superheroes who do the same. Similar scenes can be seen in "Permission to Dance," which also features scenes of masked-up employees being welcomed back to work after a year away, a server dancing by herself in a deserted restaurant, a janitor dancing with a teacher in a deserted school hallway, and a mail carrier spotting one of those ubiquitous purple balloons while performing her job. The last 60 seconds of the music video are devoted to the team that works with BTS behind the scenes, and they include a large group of stylists, choreographers, makeup artists, and everyone else who contributes to the creation of music by dancing to the song's choreography with the members. [37]
