The Kid LAROI, Central Cee, and BTS‘ Jungkook are set to release their collaborative single, “Too Much,” on October 20. This single is a precursor to The Kid LAROI‘s debut studio album, The First Time.
The Kid LAROI previously hinted at this collaboration. He fueled the anticipation by sharing a video of Central Cee tattooing the words “Too Much” on his leg. Adding to the excitement, on October 5, he posted a selfie taken aboard a plane, captioned, “Was it too much?” Notably, a Funko Pop! figure of Jungkook was spotted beside him in the snap.
He later shared a selfie with the BTS star, which he captioned “Me & JK,” accompanied by a series of emojis, including a black arrow with “soon” beneath it. This post linked to a website called “Too Much Magazine,” which hinted at an announcement scheduled for October 10.
On October 10, the two-time Grammy nominee unveiled a teaser that seemed to be from the music video of the new track. The clip showcased the artists grooving to the song’s catchy instrumental, with details of the single’s release times across various cities like London, New York City, Seoul, and Sydney. In the caption, The Kid LAROI mentioned that his album is now up for pre-order.
Jungkook joins a stellar lineup
This year has been monumental for all three artists. The Kid LAROI started strong with his hit “Love Again,” which made it to the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and earned him a Song of the Year nomination at the 2023 ARIA Music Awards.
Jungkook, on the other hand, has been dominating the charts. His recent single “3D” featuring Jack Harlow debuted at No. 5 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and No. 1 on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart. He also became the first Korean soloist to debut multiple songs in the top 10 of the Hot 100. His first single, “Seven,” featuring Latto, debuted at No. 1 in July. Furthermore, “3D” secured the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, marking him as the first Korean soloist to achieve this feat with more than one song.
Central Cee gained immense popularity with “Doja,” which went viral on TikTok in 2022. It sampled Eve‘s 2001 smash “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” and referenced American rapper-singer Doja Cat. This track debuted at number two on the UK Singles Chart and topped the charts in New Zealand and Greece.
With such a stellar lineup, “Too Much” is bound to be a hit, and fans eagerly await its release. – K-Pop News Writer
