JK said he recorded this song in LA the day after he recorded Seven.

SERBAN GHENEA is the mixing engineer . BRYCE BORNDONE = Assistant mixing engineer. MIKE BOOZI =mastering engineer. I found it on Apple Music under credits

This song, like you said, is a REAL SONG. They simply don’t make them like this much anymore and i also think you were absolutely spot on with the “if they ignore this one…” comment too. Just watch him get robbed at next year’s grammys. I’m already waiting for it.

the album lists the mix engineer for SNTY as Serban Ghenea @MixStar Studios (other mixing credits include Seven, My Universe, all of the Taylor's Version albums, Unholy by Sam Smith and many more), assisted by Bryce Bordone

The bass and drums were played by the producers of the song. It’s in the song credits. Bass by Andrew Watt and drums by Cirkut (Henry Walter). They are also the producers of JK’s first single Seven.

Standing Next to You is a masterpiece. It's a great, a big song and Jungkook made it shine! We are finally enjoying the best of pop music of all time, wich we have missed so much since the MJ era.

Side note : Jungkook recorded this song in 4 hours which he said was the longest recording he has ever done. He usually finishes recording in 2 hours average. He is an amazing vocalist and has the ability to make any song shine. He is a master showman and a magnificent performer. The best from Korea at the moment. Its too bad we will miss him for 18 months.

Jungkook did a surprised mini concert at Time Square, Army only got a 30 min notice iff where he will be, and so many Armys showed up

Andrew Watt, one of the producers is also a guitarist. The same day they finished recording Seven, he made Jungkook listen to a few other songs and he loved SNTY, he learnt and practiced it the same night and recorded the following day. Oh watch the iheart radio perf and the jimin fallon perf and the time square pop up concert to see how crazy the song is live!

This is the SOTY… nothing is topping this…. Music that can be described as “timeless” from the jump is truly something special. Ppl who don’t understand jungkook and hear him sounding like another pop artist is bc he’s so versatile and can sound however he wants. They think there’s vocal processing bc of all the different ways he’s singing and then bam he’s live and altering his voice like he does on the album lol he’s a chameleon… truly so special

There is a version with a live band from iheart radio!!! In JK’s album, this song, “Closer to you” and “Hate You” are my favorite!!

Yes JK recorded this song in like 4 hours only….

29:29 honestly there are tons of kpop idols… so many talented ones who can sing and dance… but jungkook is SO much more than his natural talents and learned skills… jungkook is the only BTS member who was recruited specifically for his voice… and he had never even had any training vocally lol and he never took vocal lessons even before debut and after…. He’s got a very unique way of singing bc he doesn’t sing in the standard way …. Most vocalists are all taught the “proper” way to sing…. Jungkook doesnt… he sings in a very healthy way… but also a very unorthodox way… bc he didn’t take vocal lessons lol they were always working and touring.. they didn’t really have time for vocal lessons on top of everything. I think he started taking some kind of lessons just this year bc he wanted to be able to use his speaking voice while singing or something like that… and we got a lot more of his lower register on the album that’s just absolute pop perfection. The music industry needed a new pop king…. And jungkook def stepped up to the plate. Mind you that jungkook didn’t have ANY songs for this album at the time he recorded seven… which was June of 2023.. so he recorded an album of 11 tracks in a language that is not his native language and he is not fluent in… made 3 music videos, multiple performance videos and dance videos while traveling between the US, sk, the uk and Budapest to appear and perform …. All the awards he’s won and records he has broken this year are infinite… swiping the fastest song to 1B streams from Miley Cyrus… who gets all the streams she wants without having to fight for it like Jungkook , BTS and kpop or other foreign artists do… it’s crazy…. And so everything for this album… was done in like 5 months lol I don’t think ppl grasp how difficult it is that this is a full English album … especially bc he sounds almost accent free . The album is just like the English song covers he has always done and the music he has always loved. He just happens to be a huge fan of pop or r and b songs in English that tend to be about love and everything to do with it. This is an album he’s streamed of making his whole career… and this is just his FIRST solo album lol he learned a lot and has grown even more than he already was. Standing next to you deserves awards… and if they deny this one… you just cannot deny a song like this… especially the way jungkook performs it… he’s beaming and powerful … absolutely a superstar that he was born to be !!!

It says on album book, the mix engineer is Serban Ghenea @MixStar Studios (assisted by Bryce Bordone), same on 3D, Seven, Yes or No, and Hate You

You should see His iHeart Radio live with band, it was sick!!

Watch him perform this live!!! The iheartradio is with the full band, the Jimmy Fallon performance w the dancing and his vocals are obscenely phenomenal… his guerrila show in Times Square where he did a mini concert is a MUST watch. This song is already a timeless classic… it’s ridiculous it’s not getting radio play in the US… it’s a masterpiece. Andrew watt and cirkut loved working with jungkook so much that while recording seven… they wanted to show this to jungkook and he wanted to do it…. They wanted the perfect voice and performer who could pull this off in an homage way …. But being his own modern flair and style to it…. And that Is the definition. If Jeon jungkook…. It’s incredible and production is insane…. Share it with your friends man… but watch the lives please!!! It’s so so so good… absolutely TIMELESS!!!

Mixing engineer : Serban Ghenea; Assistant mixing engineer : Bryce Bordone

Seriously Jungkook is absolutely outstanding! The vocals, the dance, the visuals just perfection 🔥

@ GKD LABELS, Michael Jackson’s a long time drummer and friend his Full name: Jonathan “Sugarfoot” Moffett He was a long time drummer and friend of the Jacksons he started off with the Jackson 5 and he continued with Michael Jackson , When he broke away from his group of brothers and became a solo artist in 1979 with his “Off The Wall” album.😊💜

I know you like to focus on just the music. But the dancing and video production are top tier!!!!!! The live band performance was killer. And the dance mv, AMAZING. Famous dancers and famous famous choreographers. It's worth the visual. 😘💜🫰🏻🫶🏻

Please do not take otherwise ….. although collabs are good … Jk still stands out… it is not just about singing or dancing… it is his personality … pleasing and confident

Jungkook is an amazing Artist his Vocals another level 🔥 and the live performances that he did is incredible SO TALENTED. Standing Next To You is definitely Song of the year.

Jungkooks remix off 3 D is out now whid Justin Timberlake, and on dec 1 he drop remix off Standing Next To You whid Usher

Jungkook really is the greatest and most talented superstar of the century! I agree that he reminds me of MJ and is on another level! His vocals, dancing, and stage presence are top tier! 🌟 I would love to see your reaction to JK performing this song live on iHeartRadio, in Times Square, and also on Jimmy Fallon! Even if you don’t do a reaction, please watch it! You will be blown away! 💜💜💜

I'm glad you liked the song. The video is awesome! The choreography, wow! JK and the dancers, perfection! Loved it all! 💜

Song and artist of the year! Best listen with loud speakers ! Love it so much.

Agree with your comments - this was such a great informative reaction. Thank you. I do think Jungkook is leaps and bounds ahead of other KPOP artists - his album has so many different elements and its amazing that English isn't his first language but you would never say. This is homage to MJ and here's definitely lots of similarities between the two. SNTY deserves all the recognition, accolades and airplay - sadly though he isn't getting much airplay but killing it on digital and streams. Wish his company would do more to get him on radio- this song would be even bigger

You got me curious, so I looked it up. Michael Jackson's drummer is Jonathan Moffett aka Sugarfoot. According to Drum Magazine "He got his nickname because of his precise, articulate, and distinctly pronounced bass drum work."

So glad you liked this song its amazing can’t stop listening to it 💜💜

Friday hits his remake with usher. Standing next to you Can’t wait

They’re releasing a remix of this song on Friday with Usher.

This is my favorite song as well. Thanks for breaking it down and appreciating it.

Agree, nothing against Jack personally, but I didn't care for his verses in the song. The song definitely changed with a different artist(s). Reality is, not everyone is going to Love or like every song, and that is ok. True ARMY will respect everyone's opinion! 💜

Cirkut was one of the producers on this - of course he's best known for producing Starboy for The Weekend.

I've been on this channel since your first BTS reaction video. Whether you were talking about your experiences with depression or sharing your dreams, I was right there with you. I'm not sure if you can read this, but I want to tell you that it brings me immense joy to see you happily pursuing what you love alongside talented artists now. Wishing you always good health and many joyful days ahead! 💜💜

And listen to the lives, like Iheartradio .. with a live band.. JK is such a confident cool performer, does not necessary do the whole dance show to blod your mind✨✨✨🤩

Plss check the live version of this song it's even more better iheart live peformance and many others💜💜🔥🔥

I'm 60yr old Korean woman Army who's lived in Ohio most of my life and never liked KPop until BTS and I literally live for them.

I love Jungkook and Standing Next To You so I appreciate your break down and opinion of this song. I learned so much from you Guys and it was a pleasure seeing you!!!

JUNGKOOK OUTDID HIMSELF ONCE AGAIN! HE REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF MJ! CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE OF HIS MUSIC... SNTY IS SO GRAMMY WORTHY

As you may now know, JK was not nominated for any Grammy Awards but dominated the charts on all platforms worldwide... that is what you call "sweet revenge."

Love the song just like you, the album is really Golden, and Jungkook had the best around him, because he is the best❤️🥰❤️

The fact that the producers of "Seven" played him the song after finishing recording for "Seven". JK liked it enough to want to record it.. He had one night to practice it and went straight into recording it the next day. JK said there was no re-recording done on this. Imagine having to "learn" a new song that is not in your native language in one day and then recording it this perfectly... Jungkook and the whole recording team truly are something else.

Listen to it again, absolutely. I haven’t stopped listening to it. But please, actually watch the video without looking away at least once - it’s spectacular. 😊💜

people listening to music and genuinely enjoying it is such a JOY to watch. Your reaction makes me so happy. thanks for this.

JK has mentioned before that 3D is a song that will bring you to the 2000s. He shared about his trainee days where songs from that era were a big inspiration for him. JT, Usher and JB were his musical inspiration. 3D is actually going viral in Tiktok now. I love the song with Jack and JT too. the bottom line with JK is you don't know what to expect from him since he's versatile singer who can do any genre. like none of us expected something like SNTY from him.

You need to check out the “iheart radio” version with a live band!!! He crushed it on that one… his vocals and the live band makes it my favorite.

jungkook is so vocally talented and skilled. he can do a lot with his voice. he can change, and awitch his voice any way he wants to. his range and tobne is crazy. he is included in singers with perfect pitch. even charlie puth called him perfect pitch. he's such a rare singer cos most singers have background or ghost singers at the back but jk does these things himself. he is also the background ghost hidden singer in all bts songs and also solos. jungkook is the total representation of what bts is. he's got the craziest range and he's so versatile he can do all kinds of genres there is no limit to his voicals. i hope you check out his latest weveerse live jungkook singing live from his album. he always sings live in his weverse live. he also sang grenade by bruno mars it's really crazy, sennnnnnorita by justin timeberlake, he's so vocally talented with masterful abilities. bts so lucky to have him. i really wish jungkook would go solo now. i always want him to go solo cos he has so many talent and potentials to show. best pop vocalist in the world and the new king of pop. his album is the best. standing next to you and seven are soty. have you also al;ready watch his 2021 bday vlive? he's so amazing mad respect

I hope you'll get to react to JK'S performance at TSX too. 😁 Enjoy!

Regardless of the production and mix, this is an awesome song deserving a Grammy!! JK is so good! .... and when you say Kpop "machiner" , I take it as a metaphorical way of referring to Kpop that molded him to become an artist so full of awesomeness!! ❤❤❤

Jung kook is phenomenal and his and BTS isn't just for the younger generation UT for any and I can say since I'm retiring in 2.5 years. Also check out V's Slow Dancing it's beautiful and is a jazz or blues type of song

Usher remix of this song coming out on Friday.

JK IS MY EVERYTHING ⚘️

Jungkook chose Jack Harlow so we have to respect his decision. People are still vibing with this song and actually memorized his verse during his concert in time square. I don’t care about jack Harlow’s verse, I just want to enjoy the song. People are just too serious

This was filmed in Budapest

Gracias por apreciar el talento de JK, los invito a ver las presentaciones en vivo, me atrevo a decir que el performance de Iheart Radio y el de Fallon con banda son épicos, por favor compartan esta canción con más personas, lamentablemente no logramos radio en US, el racismo hacia BTS persiste pero no nos rendimos. Este es un trabajo ganador de Grammy

This song was recorded and produced in LA

CRAZY LEVEL JK 💓

Yeah, Everyone did an awesome job on this song. They just released JK and Usher remix for " SNTY". Enjoyed Thank you!

STANDING NEXT TO YOU by JUNGKOOK 🤩 SUPERSTAR 🌟 PRONTO REMIX SNTY CON USHER

I am ARMY and appreciate the wonderful talents and goodness of all seven of the BTS members. I was pulled in by the variety of their entertainments, including RUN BTS. I also spend a lot of time rediscovering them with some newbies that seem sincere, and especially like to watch reactions with music industry professionals that can point out the elements that make BTS so great. Everyone knows that Scammys cheated them out of awards. However, I wonder if there is a factor that Western listeners do not prefer the high pitch (?) that so many of BTS later songs have throughout, by all the vocalists, and in this case, by JK for most of the song. I like the range that the vocalists have, and the accent and thrill that some of the high pitch parts provide, but to be honest, to have all the vocalists singing high for most of a song would not be my way of arranging it. Besides my preference for their more "natural" sounding voices, many vocal teacher and singer reactors have also praised their talent and technical abilities there. I find it interesting that a number of men associated with singing seem to highly appreciate Jimin and the higher reaches of the guys. Maybe it's because, as a couple of them have pointed out, that it is rare for men to be able to do that so well.

15:51 I knew you guys would love this… you need to watch the mv and appreciate the whole performance and dancing…. It’s the full package and you cannot miss any of it.

I think J Timberlake is the one that should´ve gone with JK in 3D in the first place but, it is ok. We are happy with this mix. Standing next to you has turned into my favorite JK song along with My time. Let´s see what are the Scammys going to do with this amazing, amazing, timeless, giant song.

idk how to describe it...but there's a ''fullness'' to this song/prodcution and JK's vocals are just perfection with this song

You should watch his iheart radio performance ….he sang with live band..

Hes gonna drop a remix of standing next to you on friday with usher

Thank you for reacting to this song

Been waiting for your reaction! Please watch one of his live performances.

JUNGKOOK ES UNA ARTISTA COMPLETO, TALENTOSO A 1000 .. CANTA Y BAILA, UN GRAN ESPECTACULO SOLO VERLO, COMO TODOS LOS CHICOS DE BTS, ARTISTAS COMPLETOS, SOY UN ARMY DE 38 PERUANA ,QUE AMA SUS CANCIONES Y APOYA A CADA MIEMBRO EN SOLITARIO, Y LOS ESPARARE HASTA EL 2025,GRACIAS POR REACCIONAR A SUS VIDEOS Y SIGANLO HACIENDO, SE DARAN CUENTA QUE BTS ES CONCEPTO DE BUENA MUSICA Y TALENTO DE SOBRA

Mix engrs:Serbian Ghenea @ Mixstar studios assisted by Bryce Bordone

No doubt, Song of the Year plus Golden as Album of the Year!

Really appreciate your reaction. I love this song so so so much ♥

You have to hear the live versions! There’s a LOT :) He DOES NOT disappoint!

I want to say the "Mixer" was one of the producers involved, it's not that they were left out. Sometimes they use slightly different/implied job titles for Korean labels.

In general BTS often works with bands and instrumentists. They've toured with a band, like Yoongi this year (and Yoongi's band was fully part of the show, they were incredible. I loved how they went bolder and bolder during dday over the time !)

Most people get the MJ, but I got the tribute to the '70s Disco sound first. The first time I heard the song, it sounded so familiar, and Today I realised the song reference: Rene and Angela's " I Love You More." Bighit producers ara hardcore old-school fans.

this masterpiece deserves a grammy frfr

Hey guys! New to your channel--KZfaq recommended it because I've been fascinated for some reason with reactions to this MV. Great review! I so appreciated it because I've heard lots of people appreciate different aspects of the MV but I've never gotten the sense people feel what I'm feeling--the jaw-dropping over the whole sound, the feel, stuff that I guess is the production. I am not at all conversant with the things of that world--it's all magic to me--but I can tell where it is there and feel it when it's not. You are the first ones I've seen react to this with the same delight and awe that I feel when I hear this song. It is seriously solid gold. So thank you for all the enjoyment you shared, and for your discussion of it.

I admire this song so much for reasons that can only be put into detailed, educated words by the likes of you guys and the two others on the Throga channel. It's the instruments, the bass and drums especially, the vocal performance, the mixing, it's so damn good man. I'm obsessed to the point of calling this my song of the year, maybe, song of the decade lol

29:21 ??? Dude, you've watched a bunch of content about BTS & where they came from. In what way is Jungkook, "a product of the KPOP machine?" If you want to say that JK benefited from the Korean Idol industry approach/mindset/perspective wrt to music performance, production etc. that would make sense. Saying he's the product of a machine is not only inaccurate, given that he had restricted access to said machine, it's also unfair to him & to BTS and Big Hit. They are independent artists who succeeded DESPITE the, "machine." I get that it's difficult for y'all to put their career into a relatable context, but these comparisons to Western tropes that you're familiar with are failing you. As just one obvious example: why keep analogizing BTS & Idol music to, "boy bands," like NSYNC rather than the far more accurate comparison: Motown groups? BTS (and by extension, JK), have far more in common with The Jackson 5 & The Supremes than they do with 90s Florida teen groups. On top of which, BTS have far more creative freedom than any of the above, so why steal credit for their work & give it to a machine that keeps trying to marginalize them?

Totally agree with you re JT remix of 3D should have been the one in the album…I guess the concept and storyline though is something JK wanted to make with the entire album….so the Jack Harlow 3D describes the initial attraction with the girl….then it evolves until the last song where it plays the clean version of 7. 🤭

This song is the gold in Golden! And as an old dancer this is the first time in a long while that I have been so blown away by a choreography and its execution. The choreography is difficult and perfectly executed! I appreciate the funky music as well and enjoy your take on it.

Jungkook is called it boy and rulers of sns because his solo fandom huge and adding to it bts fd too called army also huge. So overall gets him enjoy one of world s biggest fandom . He collabed because he wanted to do different genres and different moods , he needs to experiment with diffrences in music He not aiming at others fandoms 11:01

Do checkout Standing next to you usher remix which is dropping on 1 December....

"mud and fireworks" 😂 I don't know producing but I know metaphors and that was brilliant.

I agree to compare MJ have done and JK has a similarity in training... How the Jackson fam train their children to be the best singer & performance that almost the same as Kpop especially bighit wanted BTS to be s precisely sing and dance in perfection.. And the one and only who did the best control tone and improvised vocal while dance is JK the maknae, same as MJ the youngest boy of the group... ❤❤❤💜💜💜

Great reaction. All BTS solo songs throughout their careers are different. GOLDEN has different genre but 10 years of creative excellence has given JK stellar musical taste. As for likng live musicians. If you watch JHope at his sell out main stage at Lollapalooza he uses a brilliant live band. They are brilliant they do like working with live musicians.

Remix with Usher will release on Dec 2 I think Standing Next To You

I am sure someone has mentioned by now that a new version of this with Usher has dropped and the MV comes out on Friday!

2:48 I agree that JK's 3D with Justin should have been the 1st release and maybe Jack's version as a second release. I did not appreciate Jack's verses in the context of the song. LOVE SNTY - 💜💜💜💜💜💜 Fantastic song with homage to MJ and video elements of Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet

Jungkook amazing vocals

Jk was on Suchwita, and told Suga he recorded 5 songs for the album in 5 days. Suga said something about how long those days must be, and jk said, no, 3 hrs! He recorded 3 hours a day for a week! He is such a professional. It is a shame that he leaves for the service next week. And Tae is going into the Korean equivalent of the the Special Forces in the US! It is going to be a sad week, losing the 4 remaining members for the next year and a half! Have missed you guys! ❤❤❤

Been waiting for weeeeeks for this reaction. Thank you! You should watch the iheart performance with the live band 😍

Now, the collaboration with Usher might be better for 3D

I thought the same. It's was for JT, but J K took for what it was worth

The lyric book in the album will list the mixer

The mix engineer is Serban Ghenea @ mixstar studios, assisted by Bruce bordone for standing next to you jungkook

I've no time to look every of your reactions, I discovered this 2 days ago, it's so groovy, made me remember my young years ! I've bought the album Golden juste because of this song, and don't regret it, it's just 👍, and my husband loves it too ! Nice reaction, thank you !

waiting for your reaction on the Usher Remix of this Standing Next To You ---- yes, Jungkook pulled him in too :) thanks guys!
