The post created a wave of speculation about a possible collaboration. Many fans recommended Armaan listen to Love Language, an afrobeat-inspired song released on May 2, 2025, which has been praised for its fresh sound.
Armaan Malik’s K-pop Connection
Armaan Malik, born on July 22, 1995, in Mumbai, is a celebrated Indian singer, songwriter, and actor. He has sung in multiple languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and English, with hits like “Bol Do Na Zara” and “Butta Bomma.” His career began as a child singer in 2007 with the song “Bum Bum Bhole” for the Bollywood film Taare Zameen Par. Over the years, he has earned awards like the Filmfare R.D. Burman Award for New Music Talent in 2015.
Armaan is no stranger to K-pop. He has openly expressed his love for BTS, calling himself a member of their fandom, ARMY. In 2021, he collaborated with American-Korean singer Eric Nam and DJ KSHMR on the song Echo, blending Indian pop, K-pop, and EDM. This project, released on May 21, 2021, marked a significant cross-cultural moment, gaining over 10 million YouTube views in just 10 days.
His interest in K-pop goes beyond collaborations. Armaan has covered songs like BTS’s Dynamite and EXO’s Beautiful Goodbye on Instagram. He has also mentioned being a fan of groups like Shinhwa and EXO, showing his deep appreciation for the genre.
TXT’s Global Rise
Tomorrow X Together, or TXT, is a five-member K-pop group under HYBE Labels, consisting of Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai. Debuting in 2019, they have gained a massive global following with their unique sound and storytelling. Their latest EP, The Name Chapter: Sanctuary, includes six tracks, with Love Language as the title song.
Love Language, released on May 2, 2025, has been a hit among fans for its afrobeat vibe and themes of young romance. The music video, which dropped the same day, showcases TXT’s signature charm and has been widely shared online. The group’s return after a six-month break has been met with enthusiasm, with fans praising their growth and versatility.
TXT has a history of connecting with international artists. Their music often blends genres, making them a strong candidate for cross-cultural projects. The group has expressed interest in global collaborations, as seen in their interviews about climbing the Billboard 200 charts with earlier releases like The Name Chapter: Temptation.
Fans Dream of a Collaboration
The interaction between Armaan Malik and TXT has sparked hope among MOA and Armaan’s fans, known as Armaanians. Social media posts reflect this excitement. One fan wrote:
TXT WILL COME TO INDIA TRUST💪💪💪 armaan malik I love you bro this is so unexpected 😭😭
Another shared:
Omg desi moas it’s real😭 Armaan & TXT interaction was not on my bucket list❤️🔥
Fans are actively encouraging Armaan to listen to Love Language, with comments like:
Armaan and Armaanians please check #LoveLanguage by @TXT_bighit trust me y’all will love it’s a summer bop!!!
The idea of a collaboration isn’t far-fetched. Recent years have seen growing connections between K-pop and Indian music. For example, on May 1, 2025, GOT7’s Jackson Wang and Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh announced a project together, exciting fans across both industries. Armaan’s previous work with Eric Nam also shows his ability to bridge musical cultures.
Why a TXT-Armaan Malik Collaboration Makes Sense
Armaan Malik’s versatile voice and experience in multiple genres make him a strong match for TXT’s experimental style. His work in Bollywood, regional Indian music, and global projects like Echo shows his ability to adapt. TXT, known for blending pop, hip-hop, and afrobeat, could create something unique with Armaan’s soulful vocals.
HYBE Labels, TXT’s agency, has a history of fostering international collaborations. Armaan’s connection to HYBE through the signed album suggests a relationship with the company, which also manages BTS. Fans speculate that this could lead to a project, especially given Armaan’s status as a BTS fan.
The timing of the post, coinciding with Love Language’s release, has fueled speculation. While neither Armaan nor HYBE has confirmed anything, the fan response shows strong support for a potential collaboration.
As of May 2, 2025, Armaan Malik has not shared further details about his plans with TXT’s music. He continues to engage with fans online, recently celebrating his marriage to Aashna Shroff on January 2, 2025. TXT is focused on promoting Love Language, with the song gaining traction globally. MOA remain active on social media, sharing their hopes for a collaboration and encouraging Armaan to explore TXT’s discography.
