Global K-pop group BTS has revealed the full tracklist for their upcoming album ARIRANG, building huge excitement among fans around the world.
The group’s agency HYBE and its label BigHit Music shared the 14-song lineup on March 3 and 4 through official platforms like Weverse and Instagram. The album will release globally on March 20, 2026, marking BTS’ first full group album since members paused activities for mandatory military service.
The lead single is SWIM, an upbeat alternative pop track. The song was led by RM on lyrics and focuses on moving through life’s challenges without giving up. Early descriptions suggest the track carries a message about endurance and self-compassion.
Full Tracklist for BTS’ ARIRANG:

The record shows strong involvement from the members themselves. RM helped write most of the songs, while SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, Jin, and Jung Kook also contributed across multiple tracks.
Several well-known producers worked on the album, including Ryan Tedder, Diplo, Mike Will Made-It, Kevin Parker, Flume, and El Guincho, blending BTS’ signature sound with global influences.
The title “Arirang” is inspired by the traditional Korean folk song that represents longing and resilience. Fans say the theme reflects the group’s journey and their connection with the BTS fanbase, known as ARMY.
The comeback will also include a major live event. BTS plans to hold “BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE ARIRANG” on March 21, streamed worldwide on Netflix from Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul.
With the tracklist now revealed, fans are already speculating about the sound of songs like “Hooligan,” “Like Animals,” and “they don’t know ’bout us,” while many expect “SWIM” to become one of the group’s biggest comeback anthems.
