BTS has enlisted an eclectic array of collaborators for their upcoming comeback album, ARIRANG, including Tame Impala, Diplo, Mike WiLL Made-It, and JPEGMAFIA.
The world-famous K-pop septet released a graphic detailing who all contributed to their 14-song album — their grand return to taking over pop music after completing mandatory military service.
Tame Impala is credited as a writer and producer on the track “Merry Go Round.” Diplo is listed as a writer and producer on multiple songs, including “Body Body” and “FYA,” with JPEGMAFIA joining him on the latter. Mike WiLL Made-It contributed to “2.0” and “Aliens,” while additional collaborators include Teezo Touchdown, Flume, and El Guincho.
Diplo — who’s been revealed to be an executive producer for the album — has already addressed BTS fans about working on the project, sharing a post on Instagram posing with Jung Kook and RM. “ARMY please be nice … I made 5 of these [songs],” he wrote. Diplo’s comments follow what he said last month about the project, claiming that it was “gonna shock the world.”
“I just feel so lucky … to link up with a group like that and have them trust me and do some awesome music,” he said at the time.
BTS’ fanbase have been waiting an extremely long time for new music. ARIRANG will be the group’s first full-length project since Be dropped in 2020. The album comes out on March 20th.
BTS will be embarking on a massive reunion tour this year and next, with 82 shows in 34 regions. Look for tickets here.
