Both born in 1993, singer IU and BTS’s Suga have finally dropped the official release of their collaboration track “Eight.” As soon as the song hit the charts at 6 PM KST, it soared up to the number one spot on all major music streaming platforms, showing the power of Suga and IU.

This is how the Melon charts looked five minutes after the release of the song.

This pop rock genre track as written and produced by both artists and features a refreshing band sound that is different from IU’s usual vocal style. Suga not only produced but also featured in the track as well.

This is also a part of IU’s ‘age series’ tracks following her song “23” from 2015, “Palette” from 2017. This song is about her as well as Suga being 28 years old (Korean age).

In the song description, IU explains that the “you” in the song is portrayed through different virtual characters as a way to express her at 28 years old. She talks about how her life at 28 was a series of helplessness. IU’s agency revealed, “The two share their opinions based on the consensus as a musician of the same age.”
