BTS fans… er, ARMY…don’t have to wait much longer for new music from Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook.
The K-pop phenoms have announced they will drop an English-language single on Aug. 21.
“We are preparing an album for the second half of this year, but decided to first release a single because we wanted to reach our fans as soon as possible,” read a press release. “Due to COVID-19, people around the world have been going through tough times and we wanted to share some positive energy with our fans.”
The title of the track was not disclosed and no further details about a new album were shared.
“The song is upbeat and sung in English, just like ‘MIC Drop’ and ‘Waste It on Me.’ We thought that the song sounded perfect as it is in English,” the group said. “When we first heard and recorded the song, we were energized and our spirits were lifted up.
“We can’t wait to share this song with you all and enjoy it together.”
BTS released Map of the Soul: 7 in February. Earlier this month, the group debuted the Japanese-language Map of the Soul: 7 - The Journey.
