On June 7, BTS‘s Jungkook surprised fans by releasing the new single “Never Let Go” while he’s still completing his military enlistment. According to HYBE, the new track is dedicated to BTS’s fans and conveys “a sincere message to never let go of each other.” It’s also a gift for the group’s upcoming 11th debut anniversary on June 13.
And like pretty much everything that Jungkook releases, the song has quickly taken off. With all-English lyrics that Jungkook participated in writing and composing himself, “Never Let Go” is a fun, dance-worthy bop that has everyone sharing their appreciation for it on social media.

Jungkook sang Never Let Go 11 times because he’s been together with BTS & ARMYS for 11 years. 😭#Jungkook #NeverLetGo @BTS_twt pic.twitter.com/IYgb5VNEmI

The chorus may be a simple repetition of the words “never let go” (with some additional “go’s”), and it may be too repetitive for everyone’s taste. But tons of fans are finding the song incredibly addictive, with one fan post on a forum calling it “insanely addictive”.

Memes have even already been made about the lyrics, all in good-natured fun!
Doctor: It’s a Never Let Go addiction that needs treatment.
