Both the Korean and Japanese versions of the song were written by Supreme Boi, "Hitman" Bang, J-Hope, RM, and Pdogg, with the latter of the five solely handling production. The Japanese-language version of "Mic Drop" was released on Decemby Def Jam Recordings and Virgin Music as a triple A-side single album that included " DNA" and a new, original song " Crystal Snow", both also in Japanese. It was serviced to US contemporary hit radio on December 5, 2017, as a single in that country. The remix was released as the second single from the EP on Novemby Big Hit Entertainment and features a guest appearance by American rapper Desiigner.

Meanwhile, Rap Monster had mentioned he was inspired by Barack Obama for the track “MIC Drop." Mic Drop" (stylized as " MIC Drop") is a song recorded in two languages ( Korean and Japanese) by South Korean boy band BTS. Personally, I think J-Hope is the hero of ‘MIC Drop’ for his performance and for the one who gave the strongest shift in its idea.” I have no more business with you and let’s not see each other again. I wrote the bridge and it was really what I wanted to say. The artist continued, “J-Hope’s lyrics and vibe were really what we wanted to say and after that, my lyrics came out really well. But J-Hope’s rap where he says ‘Yeah, who says my spoon is dirty? I don’t care, when I hold the mic, I have many gold spoons,’ Bang PD heard this and said this is how we should progress with the rest of the track.” Rap Monster credited fellow rap line member and friend J-Hope for setting the direction of “MIC Drop.” He explained, “I didn’t get angry so when I first wrote MIC Drop, I couldn’t write a good rap verse. But now, I don’t have that much anger-thanks to all of you for telling me good things and making me into a better person.” I kept thinking ‘I can’t lose’ but it only made me more tired, anxious, worrisome, and I couldn’t correct my mistakes. He admitted, “I thought if I wore sunglasses and did my hair a certain way, I would look more powerful. He then opened up about himself during the promotions of “No More Dream” At the time, he thought certain facial expressions, gestures, and even his name would make him look stronger, but they didn’t.

Rap Monster confessed, “When I was trying to write the lyrics to ‘MIC Drop,’ I took out all of the anger I had left in me, but it didn’t sound cool at all.

The BTS member also shared the transformation of “MIC Drop” from a track filled with anger to swag.


I think you should all just think of that as ‘MIC Drop.'” Life is too short to read and listen to those things. He said, “In letters and in person, many fans ask me what they should do when people criticize or ridicule BTS for no reason.” Rap Monster responded, “I think as time goes by, I should listen to criticism carefully because no one is perfect…But people who criticize and ridicule for no reason? I think that’s unfortunate. Rap Monster started talking about the hip hop track “MIC Drop” by bringing up a common concern from fans. On October 7, BTS’s leader Rap Monster held a V Live broadcast titled “RM: Love Yourself ‘Her’ Behind,” where he talked about the songs on the album and behind-the-scenes stories during their production.
