Lauv collaborated with BTS in 2019

āI mean sadly, we didnāt get to be in the studio together,ā Lauv said. āBecause theyāre crazy busy. Probably the busiest artists in the world I would imagine.ā
Sang then asked Lauv about the creative process for āMake It Right.ā
āThat one was like being sent the lyrics obviously,ā Lauv said. āAnd then sort of the overall message of the song, and then being asked to like not just sing a literal translation, to write my own lyrics that are sort of in the same vibe.ā
According to Lauv, he was nervous to work on āMake It Right.ā
āI was nervous to even do it because like I met them once and on the way out of meeting them they were like āDo you want to do this remixā¦?'ā he told Sang.
āWhoā topped iTunes charts around the world
Before the albumās release, Lauv held a private listening party for How Iām Feeling. At the listening party, he revealed how āWhoā was created. Billboard reported that Lauv sent the song to BTS, not expecting them to agree to a collaboration.
