BTS Unveils 'ARIRANG' Tracklist: A Deep Dive into Their First Full Album in Six Years

The anticipation is building as BTS unveils the tracklist for their new album, ARIRANG, set to drop on March 20. The announcement, made via Instagram and Weverse, has sent ARMY into a frenzy of speculation and excitement.

The album kicks off with "Body to Body," followed by a diverse collection of songs including "Hooligan," "Aliens," "FYA," "2.0," "No. 29," and "SWIM."

But the musical journey doesn't stop there! Fans can also look forward to "Merry Go Round," "NORMAL," "Like Animals," "they don’t know ’bout us," "One More Night," and "Please."

What makes ARIRANG even more intriguing is the impressive roster of producers and songwriters involved. All seven members of BTS, including RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook, have contributed to the writing process.

Adding to the star power, the album credits include A-list hitmakers like Diplo, Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, Mike WiLL Made-It, and Ryan Tedder as producers on various tracks.

Arirang is the group’s first full-band album in six years. Their last full set, Be, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2020 and produced Billboard Hot 100-topping hits “Life Goes On” and “Dynamite.”

Eagle-eyed ARMY members have already begun dissecting the tracklist graphic, noting that "SWIM" is highlighted in black, while the other tracks are in red. Could this be a hint that "SWIM" will be the lead single? The hashtag "BTS_SWIM" included in the Instagram post only adds fuel to the fire.
