BTS revealed ‘Dynamite’ is an upbeat song
The band first announced “Dynamite” on July 27 in an audio VLIVE. During the broadcast, they told fans that the single would be released in August and bring joy to fans around the world amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
“We have prepared a new single for ARMY, set for August 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. 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 group said.
BTS also revealed that the song features English lyrics, and they hope it will bring joyful energy to their fans.
“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. We recorded the guide version and felt that the result was something totally new and fresh,” BTS said during the broadcast.
They continued, “We also needed a breakthrough during these unforeseen times, so we worked on this new song. This is a new challenge for us as well. 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.”
