BTS<\/b>‘ Jung Kook<\/b> recently dropped his much-awaited remix of “Standing Next to You,” featuring Usher<\/b>.<\/p>\n
“With the participation of Usher, the remix adds a smooth tenderness to the original track’s energetic mood. The two iconic popstars create a special kind of sonic synergy with their top notch vocals that promises to be a standout hit,” says a press release.<\/p>\n
The remix retains the original’s disco lite groove. “Stop, can you feel that?\/ It’s like heaven and earth moves whenever we touch\/ No, for real, I know you feel that\/ The universe approves when you and I dance,” Usher sings in falsetto over the song’s bass snap.<\/p>\n
“So elegant and heaven sent these vibes, yeah\/ It’s way, way too early to leave, we go away,” Usher adds, before slipping into the steamy pre-chorus: “You know that, all night long, we rock to this\/ Screamin’, I’ll testify this lovin’\/ All night long, we flock to this\/ Screamin’, I’ll testify that\/ We’ll survive the test of time.” <\/p>\n
The remix marks Usher’s first collaboration with a BTS member. Earlier, he had worked with the band on the track, “Butter,” writing the lyrics, “Don’t need no Usher to remind me you got it bad.”<\/p>\n
“Standing Next to You” is from Jung Kook’s 11-track debut solo album Golden<\/I>. The album features Ed Sheeran<\/b>, Shawn Mendes<\/b>, and Major Lazer<\/b> as songwriters and producers.<\/p>\n
