AceShowbiz - Latto (formerly known as Mulatto) is already planning to repeat the success of "Seven". Not wasting any time after her song with Jungkook broke a Spotify record, the raptress has hinted at another collaboration with the BTS (Bangtan Boys) member.
Interviewed by TMZ for her comments on the feat, the Atlanta artist gushed that it's "crazy" and "surreal." The 24-year-old then got candid about losing her friend earlier this year and she feels like her late friend is taking care of her and guiding her to the song.
"Thinking about how the song came together, it kind of just fell in my lap," the "B***h from da Soul" hitmaker shared. "I had lost my best friend this year and I really be feeling like its him making sure I'm straight."
When she was suggested to "do it again" and asked if she plans to get "in the studio again" with Jungkook, the 24-year-old quickly replied, "Yeah, we are already talking." She went on to spill, "I got a song I want Jungkook on, so... swap it out."
Talking about the outpouring love and support from Jungkook's fanbase, Latto acknowledged that the Army "don't play." She added, "I be seeing them all up under my pics. Hopefully I get booked in Asia soon."
Latto also dished on the best part of collaborating with the "Euphoria" singer. "It's opened a lot of doors," she confessed. "I got my first BMA from this song with JK. That's probably like the biggest thing. But just seeing my reach start to spread global that's super cool...artist's goal."
"Seven", released as a single on July 14, debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. and the Global 200, becoming both Jungkook and Latto's first No. 1 on both charts. Recently, it broke a Spotify record for the fastest song to surpass one billion streams.
Prior to the interview, Latto took to her Instagram Story to celebrate the feat. "Oop am I a bora girl now? Forever grateful!! Thanks JK for trusting me! Armypots up +100000," she wrote on Wednesday, November 1.
It won the Song of Summer at the MTV Video Music Awards and was nominated for Top Global K-pop Song at the Billboard Music Awards that will be held on November 19.
