TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - After a nearly four year hiatus, the world’s biggest K-pop group BTS has been handsomely in the headlines of the pop scene. And it’s likely to remain that way for months ahead, especially as the South Korean boyband has revealed the tracklist for their upcoming album just recently.
Arriving on March 20, “Arirang” album will feature a 14-song tracklist, with “Swim” centering as the lead single. The song is said to be an upbeat alternative pop song that describes the spirit of perseverance and continuing to move forward in life even in the midst of a storm.
BTS also use this highly anticipated return to carry the stories of their journey and cultural roots. According to Forbes, the album title, “Arirang,” is drawn from the traditional Korean folk song, which stands as a symbol of Korean identity.
