The group has also confirmed when their next album is set to drop, and according to RM, it’ll be later this year, “The release of ‘Dynamite’ wasn’t in our plans at all.  As soon as we heard it, we thought it was really fun and exciting, a fun and cheery song that wasn’t that serious.  It just made us feel good when we heard it.  We really wanted to share this energy with the fans as soon as possible.”  When BTS were asked why they decided to sing ‘Dynamite’ entirely in English, V shared, “When we were recording the guide version, we felt the English version fit the melody a little bit better.”

 

Suga then added, “‘Dynamite’ has a fun and cheery vibe that sends a message of happiness and confidence.  It’s dedicated to all the people who feel like they’ve fallen down while running a marathon, even if you’re going through tough times, let’s do what we can in our places, and find freedom and happiness through dance and music.”

 

 

BTS will be performing live at the 2020 MTV VMAs, happening on August 30 and on September 10, the boys will be dropping ‘Break the Silence,’ a documentary that follows the group while on their stadium tour.
