BTS (Bangtan Soneyondan), the South Korean music band, that’s an international sensation, will return soon with a new song that holds a special meaning. The news was unexpectedly revealed when the boys appeared for a livestream. The new digital single will be released on Korean and international streaming sites on August 21.

In contrast to their usual ways, BTS will have the new single in English, as a prelude to their new album.

The “upbeat” single is designed to provide good energy to those in need during the pandemic, the boys said during the livestream. Member V said the demo track was originally in English and the group felt that it “sounded perfect” in that language.

The new track, which wasn’t given a title, may be the first English language single where all BTS members sing. A previous Steve Aoki collaboration, Waste It on Me, was officially credited to BTS, but did not feature vocals from every member. The group thinks that now is the perfect time to bring a song in English.

To the surprise of many, K-pop group BTS has managed to become one of the biggest musical acts in the world without making an English-language song. They kept making music sticking to Korean and Japanese.

In many interviews BTS were asked about why they’ve chosen to remain true to their K-Pop roots.  RM, the group leader, had said that they didn’t want to change their identity or genuineness to get the number one. “Like if we sing suddenly in full English, and change all these other things, then that’s not BTS. We’ll do everything, we’ll try. But if we couldn’t get number one or number five, that’s okay,” he said.

The new album will be out in the second half of the year. It will be their first since February’s Map of the Soul.

The group’s Big Hit Entertainment label confirmed the plans in an announcement.

“We would like to thank all ARMY for your continued affection for BTS, and we ask for your love and support for the new digital single soon to be unveiled,” the label wrote on the group’s official website.
