What BTS revealed about the song
With just days to go until the release of “Dynamite,” fans have a pretty good idea of what sort of vibe to expect from the song thanks to teaser photos and the new music video teaser.
When the Korean band first told fans about the song in an audio VLIVE broadcast in July 2020, they promised fans that the song would help bring positive energy to fans.
“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,” they said.
The group continued, “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.”
With the new music video teaser for “Dynamite,” it seems BTS will keep their promise and deliver the uplifting song everyone needs.
