"Dynamite" is a song (Single) recorded by South Korean boy band BTS, released on August 21, 2020, through Big Hit Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment. It is the band's first song fully recorded in English. The song, written by David Stewart and Jessica Agombar and produced by Stewart, is an upbeat disco-pop song with elements of funk, soul, and bubblegum pop, and takes influence from 1970s music—it features snapping handclaps, echoing synths, and celebratory horns.
Dynamite music video is the fastest in YouTube history to cross the 200 million mark, in just four days and twelve hours after release, and the fastest by a music group to surpass 400 million views, doing so on September 26, 35 days after release. It is the fastest music video by both a group and an Asian act to achieve 500 million views—59 days after release —and the fastest by a Korean artist to cross 600 million views, doing so on November 16 in just under 27 days of its exceeding the former milestone. On December 17, "Dynamite" surpassed 700 million views, achieving the mark in under four months. It became the fastest music video by a Korean group to achieve 800–900 million views, when it crossed the former five months after release in January 2021, and the latter 40 days later. The video is BTS' fastest to reach 1 billion views—on April 12, 2021 in just under eight months—and their third, after "DNA" and "Boy with Luv". It is also the fastest by a Korean artist to do so.
Initially a standalone single, "Dynamite" was later included on BTS' fifth Korean-language album, Be (2020), released on November 20.
