Conor Maynard told Metro.co.uk months ago that he planned to work with BTS – and now he has.
The singer has confirmed he has written a track for the K-pop group, which they have chosen to use, but he revealed his plans back in April to get in with the band.
When asked by Metro.co.uk if hed ever write for the band, Conor revealed hed been considering it after one of his writer pals encouraged him.
One of the guys I wrote with on my last album talked about doing it. If you get a cut on someones album they tend to use you again and again, and he was talking about us writing for them, he said.
Their views and streams are a absolutely insane. Every video BTS does they smash it.

When asked if they like K-pop, Conors brother Jack Maynard confessed: Theres one song I really like its the BTS designer one and its done by Steve Aoiki.
The BTS following is absolutely amazing.
Asked if theyd ever work directly with them, Jack, very seriously replied: I mean yes. They are really good.
And why I like them as well – years ago bands stopped dancing, Conor added. They just stood still. But K-pop bands are proper dancers. It got a bit cheesy years ago, like *NSync, but the K-pop bands are really really cool, and their videos are interesting to watch. And the fact theyre doing all those interviews but only one can speak English.
Today, Conor confirmed that he has indeed written that song with his pal and given it to the BTS lads, and now he eagerly awaits the release of Love Yourself: Answer to hear their version of it.
So since I see a lot of you tweeting about it.. basically I went in the studio with my friend and we wrote a song for @BTS_twt which we sent off, then a few weeks later he called me saying they were using it. I havent heard their version yet but I cant wait! he tweeted.
