The album’s lead single is ‘Life Goes On’

On Sept. 22, BTS released a YouTube video on the BANGTANTV YouTube channel that was dated for August 2020. In the video, the members sat at a table and discussed how they wanted to film their next music video. While discussing the music video, the group revealed the theme of the song was “Life goes on.”

“It’s about ‘Life goes on,'” RM said in the video. “We can show that life goes on by showing how we live our everyday lives… We can include studio shots and of us getting on and off the car and going back home after work… Because the song itself says life goes on, no matter what.”

On Oct. 30, Big Hit Entertainment announced that the title of BTS’ next lead single is in fact “Life Goes On.” The single will be released at the same time as BE (Deluxe Edition), midnight ET on Nov. 20. Following the song’s release, BTS will perform “Life Goes On” on Nov. 22 at the 2020 American Music Awards.
