MNEK Has Worked On BTS' New Album 'Love Yourself: Tear'
From Little Mix to BTS, the 'Tongue' singer just can't stop giving us what we want...
MNEK is completely unstoppable at this point.
At the age of 23, the singer-songwriter has worked with Madonna, Beyoncé and Kylie Minogue, penned massive hits like 'Touch' for Little Mix and had Number 1 singles with Jax Jones, all while enjoying his own solo success and building up to the release of his own debut album.
Now the pop genius is stepping into K-Pop in the biggest way possible: working with BTS.

Mutual attraction
We both know there is something going on
There is something going on
Didn't wanna start this verse with those three little words
'Cause we both know there is something going on
But I don't wanna play it wrong
So I'm not gonna say it
No, I don't wanna say it
I don't know how you'll take it
So I'mma try not to say it
'Cause when I said it in the past
Each time it didn't last
So I'mma try not to say it
But it feels like I might say it
So I'm putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
I'm putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
No big deal explaining how I feel
I don't know why it has taken us so long
Why it's taking us so long
So much hestiation for that kinda conversation
We both know there is something going on now
But we don't wanna play it wrong
So I'm not gonna say it
So that's not to say it
I don't know how to take it
So I'mma try not to say it
'Cause when i said it in the past
Each time it didn't last
So I'mma try not to say it
But it feels like I might say it
So I'm putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
I'm putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
I'm putting both hands over my
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
I'm putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
Tippy two, tippy tea, tippy ta-ta-tongue
(I think I love you)
Tip of my tongue
Licky you, licky me, licky luh-luh-love
(I think I love you)
Love's on your tongue
Tippy two, tippy tea, tippy ta-ta-tongue
(I think I love you)
I should bite my tongue
Licky you, licky me, licky luh-luh-love
(I think I love you)
You might be the one
You might be the one
(I think I love ya)
No, I'm not trying to say it
No, I don't wanna say it
I'mma try not to say it
But it feels like I might say it
So I'm putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you
I think you're the one)
Now I'm putting both hands over my
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
I'm putting both hands over my mouth
I can only hope nothing's gonna come out, baby
But there it is on the tip of my tongue
(I think I love you)
I think you're the one
Tippy two, tippy tea, tippy ta-ta-tongue

MNEK has co-written '낙원' - which translates to 'Paradise' - a track that features on the massive boyband's brand new album Love Yourself: Tear, out this Friday.
Producer lophiile confirmed the news on Twitter last night, saying: "Me & the homie @mnek did a tune for BTS on LOVE YOURSELF."

If you're unfamiliar, BTS are one of the most successful and in-demand K-Pop artists of today (and soon to be all-time, if we're honest) who made their Western debut last year with major performances on US television.
The band made UK chart history when their second album Wings debuted on the Official Albums Chart last year, while their EP Love Yourself: Her reached Number 14 (!) in September.
This is a major move for MNEK as he gears up to release his own album this year, which has so far given us the massive banger 'Tongue' as its lead single.
While he has kept quiet on the details, he has confirmed that his debut now has a title, saying on Instagram Stories today that he got the title tattooed onto his inner arm yesterday. Now that is a popstar!
Until he reveals what that fresh ink actually says, we can look forward to a summer full of gigs as he is confirmed to perform at Parklife, Brighton Pride and more.
Keep slaying us, King!
