Korean boy band BTS has unveiled the track list and collaborators for its first album in six years, Arirang, which arrives March 20. They include everyone from Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker and Diplo to Flume, El Guincho, OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, hip-hop titan Mike WiLL Made-It and rapper JPEGMAFIA.
Among the other contributors on the 14-song LP are hit Bad Bunny songwriter Tyler Spry, Teezo Touchdown, U.K. singer/songwriter/producer Artemas, Sean Cook, South Korean producer Pdogg, Nitti, Fakeguido, Pluss and Picard Brothers. See the breakdown below.
BTS members were involved in the album to various degrees, with RM credited on every track minus an interlude and Jung Kook lending a hand in the creation of four others.
Arirang is the follow-up to 2020’s Be, after which the members of BTS began serving their mandatory military obligations in their home country. The group will support the new album with a 34-region, 82-show worldwide stadium tour, which begins April 9 in Goyang and wraps, for now, on March 14, 2027, in Manlia.
BTS will celebrate Arirang with a release day concert from Seoul, which will be broadcast live on Netflix. A documentary, The Return, follows March 27.
