The highly-anticipated BTS track, Permission to Dance, which is set to release later this week, got a teaser video. Members RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook were seen dressed as American cowboys in the new video.

The video begins with Suga holding a newspaper that announces the end of the Covid-19 pandemic. He then joins his fellow bandmates and they announced, "Cause we don't need permission to dance."

The video features numerous nods to their fandom, ARMY. The newspaper Suga holds up features a headline that has purple balloons, a colour associated with the group and the fandom. Another portion of the video features a list of international cities with 'ARMY' having a board of their own.
