G-Dragon uploaded a cover of Elvis Presley’s famous love song "Can’t Help Falling in Love" on his YouTube channel on Monday.

The video, which lasts two minutes and 30 seconds, shows the artist singing his own version of the classic hit.

The Korean rapper begins with a ballad rendition of the song but switches to a fast-tempo rock version midway.

The music video was directed by Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann who also directed the 2022 musical film “Elvis,” which recently opened in Korean theaters. The cover is speculated to be part of a possible collaboration between G-Dragon and Luhrmann.

The video has garnered more than 440,000 views on YouTube as of Monday evening.
