BTS are officially back and the anticipation couldn’t be higher! Following their military service hiatus, the global superstars have announced their long-awaited group comeback with their full-length album, ARIRANG, set for release on March 20 at midnight ET.

Inspired by the traditional Korean folk song “Arirang,” the 14-track project reflects the group’s roots while capturing their collective emotions and growth in 2026. The album opens with “Body to Body,” followed by “Hooligan,” “Aliens,” “FYA,” and “2.0,” before reaching its midpoint with interlude, “No. 29.” Lead single “SWIM” ushers in the second half, leading into “Merry Go Round,” “NORMAL,” “Like Animals,” “they don’t know ’bout us,” “One More Night,” “Please,” and “Into the Sun.”

The members were deeply involved in shaping the record. RM is credited on every track except the interlude, with SUGA and j-hope contributing to multiple songs. Jimin, V, and Jung Kook also participated across several tracks, ensuring the album carries their personal touch.

Centered on resilience, “SWIM” frames moving forward through life’s turbulence as an act of love and self-belief. With producers including Mike WiLL Made-It, Flume, and Ryan Tedder, ARIRANG marks not just a comeback, but a defining new chapter for BTS.
