BTS is gearing up for a massive return with their upcoming full-length album, ARIRANG. Arriving officially this March, the highly-anticipated project marks the group’s first complete studio effort in six years, following the chart-topping success of 2020’s Be.
Announced via a stylized black, white, and red graphic on Instagram and Weverse, the ARIRANG tracklist confirms 14 new titles for ARMYs. The sequencing kicks off with “Body to Body,” moving steadily through tracks like “Hooligan,” “Aliens,” “FYA,” “2.0,” “No. 29,” and “SWIM.” The latter half of the project rounds out with “Merry Go Round,” “NORMAL,” “Like Animals,” “they don’t know ’bout us,” “One More Night,” and “Please.”
Beyond the sheer volume of new music, the album boasts a formidable roster of collaborative talent. A-list hitmakers including Diplo, Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, Mike WiLL Made-It, and Ryan Tedder are officially credited as producers across various tracks, promising a dynamic and genre-spanning sonic landscape. Furthermore, all seven members — RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook — hold songwriting credits across the LP. Eagle-eyed fans have already begun dissecting the visual rollout; while 13 of the tracks are highlighted in red text on the graphic, the seventh slot, “SWIM,” stands out in solid black. Paired with the explicit hashtag #BTS_SWIM utilized in the official announcement, all signs point toward the track serving as the project’s lead single.
