Just two weeks after releasing his latest solo single, Jungkook is back with a new tune. This time it’s not a track he fronts, but a track he features on, and it was co-written by one of the biggest pop stars in history.
Jungkook features on The Kid Laroi’s new single “Too Much”, which was released late Thursday night (October 19). The tune also references English hip-hop musician Central Cee, who is just starting to hit America after finding success in the UK.
“Too Much” was written by a number of famous hitmakers such as Emile Haney, Oma Fedi, Blake Slatkin and, perhaps most notably, Justin Bieber. The pop icon is friends with Lara and their collaboration “Stay” became a No. 1 hit, so it’s no surprise that they worked together on this single.
“Too Much” will be the latest single from The Kid Laroi’s upcoming album. First time. The Australian singer distributed tracks from the project throughout 2023, with some achieving limited commercial success in certain markets around the world. With Jungkook on board, “Too Much” is in the best position to perform well on charts around the world, having already scored several hits this year.
This new single comes as Jungkook is in the process of promoting his upcoming debut solo album. Gold. The release is scheduled for November 3, which will also promote the project’s third official single, “Standing Next to You.”
Ahead GoldJungkook released two singles and both became international hits. He officially launched his solo career with the song “Seven”, which features rapper Latto. The tune debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, making Jungkook one of very few South Korean artists to top the list.
Less than a month ago, Jungkook returned to the charts with “3D,” the second single from the album. Gold. The track, a collaboration with hip-hop artist Jack Harlow, peaked at number five on the Hot 100, returning him to the top spot.
Based solely on the success of his solo singles, Jungkook can expect another Hot 100 win with “Too Much.” Where the track debuts on Billboard the charts in a week – if it succeeds, of course – will be announced more than seven days later, at which point all three groups could have scored another big hit in America.
