BTS’ j-hope Drops Earth-Shaking Second Teaser Video For ‘Sweet Dreams’ Collab With Miguel

BTSj-hope gives new meaning to the phrase “teaser” with the 17-second preview of his upcoming collaboration with Miguel on the song “Sweet Dreams.” The K-pop superstar dropped the second taste of the upcoming single on Wednesday morning (March 5) and it (barely) pulled back the curtain a hair more on the anticipated team-up.

The clip teeing up the song due out on Friday (March 7) bubbles up with a quickly strummed guitar over footage of the BTS singer fitfully sleeping in his bed as a light fixture on the ceiling subtly sways and shadows move across the wall over his mattress. The camera then focuses in on a pair of glasses filled with soda and ice that appear to be shaken by an unseen force.

The final image is of a crashed-out Hobi slowly waking up when the sun hits his face. Aside from the guitar and a light beat — and a voice crooning “yeah!” — the teaser doesn’t provide much more details on what fans can expect from the song. The new clip is of a piece with the previous preview that dropped a day earlier, in which pizza boxes emblazoned with the words “Dream Boy” slide off a shelf — again, seemingly during an earthquake-like event — as a series of young friends and an old couple are cast in shadow by a dark cloud cast on them by a home flying through the sky.

The first team-up between Hobi and Miguel will blend the two singer’s voices over a soulful R&B-pop track as they sing about the “desire to love and be loved,” according to a press release. “Sweet Dreams” will be j-hope’s first proper release since his special album, HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1, dropped last March; that project hit No. 5 on the Billboard 200, marking hope’s highest solo peak on the chart to date. The singer is in the midst of his 31-date HOPE ON THE STAGE tour, which is slated to hit the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on March 13.

In advance of the gig, j-hope will make his solo debut on The Tonight Show on Monday (March 10) with an assist from Miguel.
