"These two years now have come full-circle, 360 degrees," RM tells PEOPLE on the American Music Awards red carpet

BTS loved working with Coldplay.

The boys of BTS are obsessed with their new song alongside Chris Martin, "My Universe." While speaking to PEOPLE's Jeremy Parsons and Janine Rubenstein on the 2021 American Music Awards' red carpet, the K-Pop stars shared their excitement to hit the stage alongside the group.

"These two years now have come full-circle, 360 degrees," RM, 27, tells PEOPLE. "So it's really strange to hear the noise and face to face without masks. It means so much more because we're nominated today for artist of the year."

As for "My Universe," the group says things couldn't have gone smoother.

"The whole process was organic. Chris expressed this song as a gift for us," RM says about the track. "So he came out to Seoul to record together with us and the process was really natural and organic."
