Body to Body

BTS kicked off their tenth album era with Body to Body, a lead single dropped on March 20, 2026. The track samples the centuries-old Korean folk song Gyeonggi Arirang, weaving its iconic melody into a modern electronic soundscape that blends K-pop, pop, hip-hop, and rap. Diplo, Pdogg, the Picard Brothers, and Ryan Tedder produced the record, blending the group's signature polish with Western pop influences.

The parent album Arirang debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, marking BTS's seventh consecutive chart-topping release. Critics praised how the production treats the folk sample with respect rather than gimmickry, grounding the anthem in national identity while keeping it radio-ready. An official music video surfaced shortly after the launch, featuring the primary upload ID RBaSiVjtKR4 from the BTS - Topic channel. [modifica]
