BTS released the ARIRANG bonus track "Come Over" on streaming platforms Friday, June 12, making the song widely available for the first time after its initial release as a deluxe vinyl exclusive.
According to Billboard, the midtempo track features a prominent beat and was co-written by members SUGA, RM, and j-hope, along with other collaborators. It was co-produced by Grammy-winner Cirkut with SUGA and Ammo.
The release lands just before the group's annual fan festival, Festa, which kicks off Saturday, June 13. This year's edition carries added significance, as it marks the 13th anniversary of the band's debut.
The celebrations extend beyond the streaming release. BTS's homecoming show at Busan Asiad Main Stadium in Busan, South Korea will air live in theaters around the world Saturday under the title BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN BUSAN: LIVE VIEWING.
Earlier this week, the group released a special BTS Dinner Party 2.0 episode in which the members shared a meal and discussed how group dynamics have shifted as they have entered their 30s. Jung Kook, 28, reflected on the change in his approach to work.
"My stamina has dropped a little," he said in the video. "My mindset has changed a lot. Back then [in my 20s], I had no hesitation when it came to work. I felt no shyness about anything."
Last week, the group also posted the official performance video for the ARIRANG track "Hooligan" as part of the lead-up to Festa.
After the Busan shows, BTS will move into the European leg of the ARIRANG world tour, with dates in Madrid, Brussels, London, Munich, and Paris. The North American portion begins August 1 with the first of two shows at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
