The single and music video for Psy and Suga's That That is finally here.

The collaboration between the BTS member and Gangnam Style hitmaker comes from Psy's anticipated full-length album Psy 9th, which is also out today. It is his first new album in five years.

"2022 Psy coming back," Psy sings in the opening line.

In the Western-themed music video, the two stars are shown dressed in a series of snazzy cowboy outfits, dancing along to smooth choreography. The pair also hang out at a saloon as they sing along to the track's catchy, overlapping beat.

Teaser posters released on Psy’s Twitter detail how the collaboration came to be, with Suga saying he originally thought he would only be helping to write the song.

“We really hit it off,” they both say.

“When meeting younger artists, I don’t want to be someone who’s hard to approach,” said Psy. “[Suga] wasn’t just my junior in the business, but also he truly feels like a friend. It was hard to feel any age gap.”

Suga admited he felt “nervous” about teaming up with Psy. “He’s many years my senior and someone so who’s so well-respected in the business.”

He said the experience “felt like working with a childhood friend, so it made the song-writing process that much more fun.”

Psy 9th will be the singer’s first album after 2017’s Psy 8th 4x2=8. A year after Psy 8th 4X2=8, the singer left long-time agency YG Entertainment.

He later established his own company, P Nation, in 2019, and in the same year signed Korean-American rapper and singer Jessi, HyunA and former Pentagon boy band member Dawn to the label.

Prop idols

Girls full-contact rugby may be in its infancy in the Middle East, but there are already a number of role models for players to look up to.

Sophie Shams (Dubai Exiles mini, England sevens international)

An Emirati student who is blazing a trail in rugby. She first learnt the game at Dubai Exiles and captained her JESS Primary school team. After going to study geophysics at university in the UK, she scored a sensational try in a cup final at Twickenham. She has played for England sevens, and is now contracted to top Premiership club Saracens.

----

Seren Gough-Walters (Sharjah Wanderers mini, Wales rugby league international)

Few players anywhere will have taken a more circuitous route to playing rugby on Sky Sports. Gough-Walters was born in Al Wasl Hospital in Dubai, raised in Sharjah, did not take up rugby seriously till she was 15, has a master’s in global governance and ethics, and once worked as an immigration officer at the British Embassy in Abu Dhabi. In the summer of 2021 she played for Wales against England in rugby league, in a match that was broadcast live on TV.

----

Erin King (Dubai Hurricanes mini, Ireland sevens international)

Aged five, Australia-born King went to Dubai Hurricanes training at The Sevens with her brothers. She immediately struck up a deep affection for rugby. She returned to the city at the end of last year to play at the Dubai Rugby Sevens in the colours of Ireland in the Women’s World Series tournament on Pitch 1.
