"Rush Hour" is an energetic, upbeat funk song that is Crush's first release since completing the mandatory military service in August 2022. The lyrics describe the traffic jam, which is busy and stuffy, and refers directly to his comeback.
As the feature, the artist invited j-hope, as they share similar approaches for their music. The song mark the first collaboration between the two artists.
Before the release of the song, Crush heated up the comeback by releasing various photo and video teasers. Among them, he prepared behind-the-scenes stories for fans who waited for him.
"By this song I wanted to express that “Crush time has returned” and “Crush time begins now.” This song is about a traffic jam as people gather to enjoy “Crush Hour.” It’s a very energetic and exciting song that contains the passion for work I still had during my break.
We’ve been talking a lot about music since a while ago, and while I working on this song, I found similarities in our music tastes and what we aim for with music. So, I proposed to j-hope to work on it together and it led to participating as a featured artist. I thought j-hope would fit this song better than anyone else, so I wanted to work with him, and I think we gained synergy in many ways. j-hope worked so hard during the recording, sweating and not even using the bathroom. He kept saying ‘One more time. I can do it better!’ and I realized that he didn’t get to his position for no reason. I came to respect him as an artist. He also willingly starred in the music video. There were many scenes where I had to dance, and when I ran out of energy, he would give that energy to me. He also monitored the MV with me and coached me, for which I’m very thankful."
