BTS Announces "Map of the Soul: 7" Album Sub-Units and Solos
We officially only have a few hours before BTS’s new album, Map of the Soul: 7, arrives, and Big Hit Entertainment has just announced more details regarding the album's tracklist.
Preparing ARMYs for the launch of the album, on February 20, Big Hit sent out a press release explaining the themes behind the 15 new MOTS: 7 tracks and each member’s involvement in the songs.
The album, of course, begins with five already-beloved tracks from Map of the Soul: Persona. But as far as unreleased songs go — lead single “ON" is described as a “powerful and energetic hip hop” song that will take the member’s “calling and mindset as artists during the seven years” as its foundation. And you can expect the digital-only remix of the song, featuring Sia, to have a “pleasantly different vibe” than the original.
The previously released "Black Swan," as well as “We are Bulletproof: the Eternal,” and “Louder than Bombs” (which was co-penned by Troye Sivan) will be the other OT7 tracks from the album. The other tracks will be performed as sub-units or solos.
“Intro: Persona,” "Interlude: Shadow," and “Outro: Ego,” which have all been released, will be performed by RM, Suga, and J-Hope respectively. Together the rap trio will also be in charge of “UGH!” a (diss) track where they’ll sing about anger and malice. RM and SUGA will also show off their wordsmith skills as a rap duo in “Respect.”
Meanwhile, the vocal line will have a song of their own in “00:00 (Zero O’Clock)” — which is being heralded as a heartfelt track. Still within the vocal line, Jimin and V will link up for a duet singing about “their special friendship” in “Friends.”
Apart from those, each member will also have their own solo. Jimin will showcase a never-before-seen side in “Filter”; Jungkook’s “My Time” will look back at his journey since his trainee days; V will sing to “his past self who was going through a rough time” in “Inner Child"; and Jin will serenade ARMYs with “Moon.”
The first official video for the lead single, “ON” will drop at the same time as the full album on February 21 at 4 a.m. EST.
