PSY & Suga's New Song Is a Certified Bop

PSY's hotly anticipated new song "That That," which features and is produced and cowritten by BTS's Suga, is finally here — and we are here for the fun, upbeat vibes it delivers. PSY's star-studded ninth album boasts exciting collabs with Heize, Mamamoo's Hwa-Sa, and Jessi, among others. Bae Suzy even made an appearance in his "Celeb" music video. Now, the title track, "That That," has arrived, accompanied by a music video filled with the spellbinding and quirky group choreography and humorous shenanigans the "Gangnam Style" singer is known for — only this time, Suga is along for the ride.

In a promo clip about "That That," Suga and PSY reflected on their journey developing the song. "To be honest, I haven't gotten that close with anyone I collab with," Suga said. "It's because I'm usually not the type to meet up with collaborators in person. But he wanted to see me in person. I seriously didn't expect to be dancing with PSY. I thought I was only writing the song." PSY added, "Step by step, he got involved more and more and more deeply, our Yoong-Gi."
