Need more Suga? All the non-BTS songs he has worked on
Suga keeps pulling new listeners in with every release, and the demand for his work outside BTS shows no sign of slowing. Fans already know his sharp writing and production inside the group, yet plenty more tracks sit on other artists’ albums and singles. These songs give the same precise flow and quiet intensity that define his best verses, only now paired with different voices and moods. After the first three tracks everyone tends to mention, four later releases round out the picture and prove how far his reach extends.
“Suga’s Interlude” with Halsey
Halsey and BTS built a steady rapport long before the 2019 single “Boy With Luv.” That connection carried over to Halsey’s album Manic, where Suga appears on the thirteenth track. He helped shape the lyrics alongside Halsey and Norwegian producer Lido, delivering a reflective verse that slots neatly into the record’s raw tone. The original lyric video has aged well, even if early view counts no longer capture current traffic. Halsey later returned the favor in 2023 with the single “Lilith,” another Suga feature that keeps the thread of their friendship alive.
“Eight” with IU
IU’s reach stretches across Korean drama and music, from early anthology work on Netflix to the soundtrack for Crash Landing on You. When she teamed with Suga for the May 2020 digital single “Eight,” the track arrived as a bright, Avicii-tinged reflection on turning twenty-eight. Suga wrote and produced alongside her, adding a measured rap that balances IU’s airy chorus. The song later earned double platinum status in Korea and marked its fifth anniversary in 2025, still gaining streams. That success set the stage for their next joint effort.
“Blueberry Eyes” with MAX
MAX’s 2020 album Colour Vision brought Suga into a brighter pop lane. The single “Blueberry Eyes” landed in September, and the music video quickly climbed past the initial sixteen million views. Suga’s verse plays over footage of MAX and his wife’s quarantine wedding, with a quick cat cameo that fans read as a nod to the rapper. MAX has said he simply sent the full album and let Suga pick; “Blueberry Eyes” won out for its sweet, escapist mood. Remixes followed, including a Steve Aoki version in 2020 and a 2021 take with Lil Mosey and Olivia O’Brien, each keeping the track circulating.
People Pt. 2 with IU
The 2023 pre-release single from Suga’s solo album D-DAY reunited the same pair five years after “Eight.” IU supplies the soaring vocal while Suga offers a more inward rap that examines personal growth and lingering doubts. The track arrived as the first taste of the full project and immediately charted in multiple territories. For listeners who loved the earlier single’s warmth, this darker, more contemplative cut shows how both artists have evolved while keeping their chemistry intact.
That That with PSY
April 2022 brought one of Suga’s biggest commercial wins outside BTS when he produced and featured on PSY’s lead single “That That.” The upbeat track topped Korean charts and became a festival staple, with its music video surpassing six hundred million views by 2025. Suga’s production leans into crisp drums and a looping guitar line that gives PSY room to play, while his own rap verse lands with trademark economy. The single stands as proof that Suga’s touch works just as well on high-energy anthems as it does on introspective cuts.
Lilith with Halsey
June 2023 marked the next chapter in the Halsey-Suga story. Released as a single and later tied to a soundtrack placement, “Lilith” extends the mood they first sketched on “Suga’s Interlude.” Suga’s contribution again sits in the bridge, trading lines with Halsey over a tense, minor-key beat. The release landed on official BTS and Suga collaboration lists, confirming its place in the wider catalog. Fans tracking the duo’s timeline now treat the two songs as matching bookends.
Come Over for BTS Arirang
Even with solo projects underway, Suga’s production work for the full group continues. He co-produced “Come Over” for the deluxe edition of BTS’s 2026 album Arirang, the band’s first full-length studio release in years. RM and J-Hope share writing credits, yet Suga’s fingerprints show in the restrained arrangement and layered vocal textures. The track functions as both a reunion statement and a reminder that his studio role inside BTS remains active alongside every outside venture.
Together these songs map a clear through-line: Suga keeps finding new partners while staying true to the same clear-eyed style. Whether the mood is bright pop, reflective ballad, or festival-ready hook, his voice and production choices cut through. Listeners who started with the earliest features now have a longer playlist to explore, and the recent additions suggest the list will keep growing.
