What is the name of BTS's 2019 chart-topping collaboration with Halsey?

The story behind the answer

BTS’s 2019 chart-topping collaboration with Halsey is “Boy With Luv.”

“Boy With Luv” was released on April 12, 2019, as the lead single from BTS’s extended play Map of the Soul: Persona. Halsey appears on the song and in its colorful music video, which presents a playful, performance-centered visual world inspired partly by classic pop spectacle. The track combines BTS’s Korean-language verses with an accessible pop chorus and Halsey’s contribution.

The collaboration became a major commercial success. It topped charts in South Korea and reached number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100, at the time BTS’s highest-charting song there. Its bright sound and upbeat message contrasted with some of the darker themes associated with earlier BTS eras.

A frequent mix-up is “Make It Right,” another BTS song associated with the 2019 period, but its notable remix featured Lauv, not Halsey. “Chicken Noodle Soup” was a solo collaboration by J-Hope and Becky G, while “Waste It on Me” involved Steve Aoki and BTS members on vocals.
