The K-Pop icons first hinted about the bonus track, which is only available on the project’s deluxe vinyl, on Wednesday (April 1), when, during a livestream on Weverse, Suga told fans: “A song that I produced is coming out soon – it’s finally coming out, a special song on the LP.”

RM also teased: “For those coming to the Goyang concert next week, you might be able to hear it.”

It arrives via a special red-and-white disc, exactly two weeks after their long-awaited comeback album was released. Fans have since started petitions to get the song on streaming services, though the band did say on the livestream that it will remain exclusive to the physical deluxe vinyl.

Fans who received the vinyl already have been sharing snippets of the dreamy, dance song titled ‘Come Over’, which sees them sing: “I’m lost, can I come over?”.

‘Arirang’ was given a four-star review from NME, which read: “Much of ‘Arirang’ negotiates polar ideas – BTS as heroes or normal people, the buzz of the spotlight and the hush of their private worlds, longing for the euphoric parts of life to continue versus wanting to get off of the ride.”

“BTS’ return to their roots here isn’t just a reference to their cultural identity, but also to the music they first emerged making,” it added. “The first half of ‘Arirang’ goes heavy on the hip-hop – an addictive onslaught of attitude and energy that makes for a powerful reintroduction. ‘Hooligan’’s alternative hip-hop dials up the fun and takes things into satisfyingly strange sonic territory, combining bladelike schwings with skipping strings, while ‘FYA’ revs up into something urgent and uplifting.”

Since returning, the band have held a free concert in Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul ahead of their sold-out, 82-date tour. It was livestreamed to over 190 countries on Netflix and welcomed roughly 104,000 fans, breaking the record for the largest-ever public concert in South Korea.

Their huge live show in Seoul saw them break out new tracks from the record for the first time, including ‘Body to Body’, ‘Hooligan’, ‘2.0’, and ‘Like Animals’, and RM performed seated for much of the set after spraining his ankle in rehearsals.

The huge 2026 and 2027 world tour dates kick off next month, and are set to cover 34 regions and 79 live shows, marking their biggest tour yet.
