The album takes its name from "Arirang," a traditional Korean folk song long associated with Korean identity, longing, separation, and reunion, as explained by Forbes.
Suga and J Hope are credited on multiple songs including "Body to Body," "Merry Go Round," and "Normal," while Jimin worked on "they don't know 'bout us" and "Into the Sun." V contributed to "2.0" and "Into the Sun," and Jung Kook helped create four tracks including "Hooligan."
Following the album's release, BTS will launch a world tour beginning April 9 in Goyang, South Korea, with U.S. dates starting in Tampa, Florida, and concluding in California in September.
