"Waste It on Me" is a song by American musician and DJ Steve Aoki featuring RM and Jungkook of BTS, released on October 25, 2018. It follows Aoki and BTS' collaborations on the remix of "Mic Drop" and "The Truth Untold". The song features on his fifth studio album Neon Future III, released on November 9, 2018.
In December 2018, it was announced a Slushii remix and a Cheat Codes remix would be released in the same month.
Billboard stated that the song is an "ambient EDM track" with lyrics in English, while EDM.com felt the track was "vaguely future bass-reminiscent". Kyle Shokeye of Complex wrote that because it is BTS's first fully English-language song, it "deviates from their usual formula to create songs".
It was composed by Jeff Halavacs, Ryan Ogren, Michael Gazzo, Nate Cyphert, Sean Foreman, and RM, featuring the vocals of RM and Jung Kook. The song has a moderate tempo and is 96BPM. It is in E Minor with the vocals ranging from D4-B5.
Along with Aoki announcing the track on Twitter, he stated that fans could tweet the hashtag "#WasteItOnMe" to unlock a 40-second preview. Madonna shared a Michael Jackson tribute video featuring “Waste It on Me” on November 29, 2018.
