MAX on Writing "Yet To Come" for BTS

[@muslimaxonmuhammadova5750]

Max is the happiest Army at the same time a colleague

[@torigoth7487]

You are very special to Army, MAX, thank you for writing the music. It's sad the release kind of was overshadowed by hiatus news. But it is one of my favorite BTS performances, the one with Anderson Paak. Such a beautiful song.

[@doreenmd7148]

Yes, the best version of the song and the other ones was that in the desert

[@4AMReflections]

MAX is really one of few genuine friends BTS have in the industry.

[@ArticWolves134]

And I love that. There are people where it seems forced, but when you see genuine it's just 💖☺

[@janvdb9258]

Yeah but song was crap

[@reneedrehmer6078]

The song is genius and so meaningful for where they are in their journey.

[@explore.express.love.3483]

Listening to him talk for the first time, he is very charming, articulate and humble. Also since the song hit the right cords, and am assuming it was perfect for the boys to write their own verses over the given track. Great job!

[@mlleharshi5783]

Same. 💜

[@stephanielemons2995]

Thank You Max for giving us not only a piece of you....but a piece of them...thank you for giving us Yet To Come...it means more to ARMY than u will ever know...

[@kellzie]

I loved the collaboration MAX had with Suga/Agust D on Burn It & Blueberry Eyes. Happy he was a part of Yet to Come. Great song!

[@me6182]

Max is such a great song writer. He understands the assignment and know what he wants the audience to feel. Even his songs have such meaning behind them.

[@Abii140]

You and your wife seem like really genuine and kind people, to others and to each other. I see why Suga and Bts like you, thank you for amazing song!!

[@himynameistawny]

What a cool story! Thank you Max for co-writing this song! It has such a special place in my heart.

[@Moonastronaut]

When I first heard Yet To Come, it was a little underwhelming but things sometimes do until I see them perform it on stage. Everything made sense when they said that they were going on a break at the Festa dinner. Then each time they performed it, my heart melted more and more with finally the end of the Busan concert, the sound and the lyrics just fits so perfectly. It was incredibly moving, sad and hopeful. Thank you, Max.

[@minnicola]

MAX is so lovely, humble & genuine. Just like BTS. I can see why they get along ☺️

[@BTSheart]

MAX is such a cool guy. I love how he admires and respects the boys 💜 that's why the chemistry is always there in the music

[@em5522]

MAX was too cool for this. He did well in capturing how this was clearly a fan song. He does great work with the guys and I hope they'll do more together in the future too 💜

[@VMYeahVN]

MAX is living the best Army life there is. I love this for him and i'm glad we get to live it vicariously through him.

[@melishapeters]

Thank you Max. You've been spectacular! And I'm so happy you're on a ride that's showing off your talent.

[@sherryMT1980]

Zach always asks the best questions and you can tell he's a genuine fan. And I just adore Max and how much he truly loves and admires BTS. I couldn't believe he needed that little pep talk from his wife. He's so ridiculously talented! Sometimes we need that reminder!

[@MADEbySOUL]

To watch MAX, someone I have watched since “Rags”, go from Medleys to BTS’ “see you soon” song. Such an honor to be the last song they did together before their hiatus .

[@caribbeanstudies5340]

Yess

[@Ankita_saikia.0T7]

YET To Come is definitely one of the best song💜 thank you for your hardwork 💜

[@chaelayankah808]

i literally used to watch him on nickelodeon on How to Rock So proud of him that he was able to be part of this

[@virginia6540]

I really enjoy hearing how the collaborations turn into friendships. It’s so endearing to see how language can sometimes be a barrier, but music can transcend all. Thanks Max!

[@Ishasingh19]

OMG I AM FKN OBSESSED WITH BLUEBERRY EYES!!! and I had absolutely no clue that Max co-wrote the song for them and this just makes me so happy!!

[@Belbecat]

Aw Max thank you for giving us Yet to Come!! I'm sorry I hadn't realised you co-wrote it, but I'm so glad that it was you! Thank you bestie!!

[@mochipjamas]

Thank you, Max! YTC is so precious to us, I'm so happy you were part of the process, you're family! 💜

[@blackfusion100]

I've been a fan of MAX since he first appeared on Kurt Hugo Schneider 's YT channel, and I couldn't be happier for him! I always love hearing about how artists end up collabing with the boys, and I'm glad he kept submitting songs. These are two of the most precious songs we have, especially with the recent enlistment news.

[@flwrsabi]

he's so humble and sweet! i'm so happy for him

[@algb2338]

Omg…I love this interview. The more this guy collabs with BTS. the more I like him. Seems VERY real/genuine, and so talented. 💜 Going to say that I adore Yet To Come so much!!!

[@amandar3467]

aw this is so sweet, I didn’t know about this guy before but hope he could collab with them again

[@purpleyoubts417]

MAX we love you for thiissss....thank you sooo much...

[@MamaFanBTS]

Grateful that Max acknowledged he was simply a part of the team. But Zachary, maybe change your title to say “writing WITH BTS”, not “for”. Congrats to Max on helping create such a wonderful song.

[@allie-queen7083]

Yes I agree.

[@ftftyffghfvghfcht6701]

lol dont. they dont write the majority of the songs. and some of them cowrite a few songs thats it

@@ftftyffghfvghfcht6701 Lol RM has writing credits on damn near every BTS song since their debut, followed closely by Suga & J-hope. Why lie? :)

[@littlelou050]

he did write the song for them tho. that's how it works. it's not anyone invalidating the work from anyone else. but bts literally asked him to write a song for them and he did. then they obviously went in and made it their version of perfect. but the original song was written by max for bts. it's a pretty simple concept and is done for many artists.

[@cegonzales9809]

👏🏻💜🙌🏻💜 LOVE this!! The way Max talks about his incredible experience creating the song and working with BTS and their team is delightful. He seems like a genuinely good guy and true fan. AND watching the reactions of the two interviewers as they listen to his story was so much fun. They both seemed truly amazed and happy for Max. Great energy all around. Lastly, Max mentioning his beautiful blueberry 🫐 eyed wife and the way she supports and encourages him.💓💓💓

[@laurenm.6320]

As a baby ARMY I am just getting to know about BTS’ relationship to Max and his music, love it

[@Meza890]

bts nonstop inspiring and giving confidence to EVERYONE! gotta love them.

[@starrymedicine5298]

You create such beauty, Max!! ARMY is grateful for you!!

[@rendemihui]

What a genuinely sweet person❤ When I first heard that Max was part of the songwriting team, I expected it the song to be good. I didn't expect to cry while watching its premier because nothing had ever hit me like that before. I was blown away and still listen to it like I'm hearing it for the first time💜

[@dalingal1]

Yet To Come makes me cry. He hit emotional right on the head. Love it. Thank you Max for all your hard work with BTS!

[@blxcklab]

Max is a good song writer. It shows in his songs.

[@lin90210]

I remember listening to Max years ago do covers and its great to see he is doing so well :)

Thank you so much for been part of this wonderful project … Blessings!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇩🇴

[@Meggyys]

I’ve been a fan of MAX since his Nickelodeon days. His music from the beginning has always been phenomenal. I’m so glad he hasn’t changed after all these years 🥲

[@Weird_fest]

I know most of the fandom were freaking out about how good Run bts is, but i personally think yet to come was the right choice for a title track and it was the perfect song to promote after being gone for 2 years. One of my absolute favorite title tracks by them.

[@crystalsnow1138]

BTS weren't gone for 2 years when Yet to Come came out. Maybe you meant they hadn't promoted on Korean music shows in 2 years.

[@Weird_fest]

@@crystalsnow1138 yes that’s exactly what i meant.

[@tracikreusch5022]

Beautiful song. Great job max. Bts is truly the best. ❤

It's an honour for both artists and songwriter...which can be a hitmaker with mixmatch of ideas and finally...the releasing of the awaited tracks ...🤗🤗

[@hafshss]

Max is what i have imaginary scenarios in my head how i will meet BTS ksksks except im not any singer it's just imaginations love how he also truly admires BTS and calls himself a fan too MAX is real deal

[@thembekambatha3615]

BTS YET TO COME was written by Dan Gleyzer, J-Hope, Max, Pdogg, RM, and Suga, with Pdogg serving as producer.

[@X3000Chan]

Thank You. They're really (continuously) talking like he wrote it the whole song as it is now, singlehandedly (and so are a lot of people in the comments who seemed to have glossed over him saying it was a collaborative effort - I wonder what that's all about... even though he does keep reminding them, so good on Max for that), when most of BTS's music is a highly collaborative effort - and apparently, so is Max's, which I didn't know before (you can see that if you look at the credits of any BTS song). The rappers likely wrote their own lyrics as usual, and other writers (RM) probably added to Max's melody and lyrical outline with Korean lyrics that match the concept and make sense for the song and rhyme and fit to the main melody. I think the way the song ended, was BTS's team too (just my theory) or SUGA himself, because it reminds me a lot of Telepathy, and SUGA's sort of ethereal synth style in some of his other songs.

[@littlelou050]

@@X3000Chan they're not. it's just that the focus is on max here. when they say that he wrote it they're referring to how bts asked him to write a song and his is the original draft and the whole reason the song exists. no one is overlooking bts or anyone else.

[@viciousnerdery]

That's so cool max!!!

[@amorfati5922]

How special!

[@danaeads919]

At KCon-LA in 2019, I attended a seminar in which two of the writers of "Euphoria" discussed the process surrounding working for Big Hit, BTS and the KPop industry in general. They had written songs for other idol groups but they focused on BTS. It was a fascinating discussion.

[@almairlanda1255]

So happy to see this interview, Congrats 🎉🍾 ! In my opinion, the song brings hope for a better future and nostalgia at the same time as an individual and a fan in our journey in Life . 🫶🌹🇵🇷💜 Gracias 😊 Max un abrazo 🤗 !
