Published By : Kashvi Raj Singh Trending Desk Last Updated: July 28, 2025, 15:51 IST BTS will release a new album in 2026. (Photo Credit: Instagram) With the Hallyu wave taking over the world, one name that is leading the charge is none other than the K-pop supergroup BTS, also known as Bangtan Boys. Formed in 2013 under BigHit Entertainment (now HYBE), the group has become one of the most prominent names in the music industry. Consisting of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, BTS enjoys a fan following in millions, if not billions, across the globe. Following the completion of their mandatory military service, the septet is busy making their brand-new album, scheduled to be released sometime in the first half of 2026, if all goes well. And if you can't wait for the new songs, we suggest you revisit some of their old hits. Here are five BTS songs that you need to add to your Spotify playlist. N.O Also known as 'No Offence', the song was released in 2013 as the lead single of their first EP O!RUL8,2? (Oh! Are You Late, too?). Through this hip-hop song, the group questions Korea's take on education. They asked their peers not to be forced into following their parents' dreams. Instead, encouraged them to stand up for themselves and have their own dreams. Attack On Bangtan Another song from O!RUL8,2? (Oh! Are You Late, too?) It is one of their anthemic songs, which was released in 2013. The title is a playful nod to the popular anime Attack on Titan. The lyrics of the song are bold and full of confidence, as the group sings about their determination to succeed in the music scene. Run The lead single from their fourth EP, titled The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 2, was released in 2015. The lyrics of this rock song encourage its fans to persevere, rising up and running every time they are knocked down by obstacles in their path. BTS also tell everyone that it's alright to make mistakes. I Need U One of the tracks on their third EP, The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Part 1, I Need U explores the theme of pain and confusion in a toxic love. Through the lyrics, they sing about how they are being ruined by the love and want for that person, and want them out of their lives. Make It Right A song on BTS' 2019 EP Map of the Soul: Persona, 'Make It Right," is a collaboration between the septet and Lauv, co-written by Ed Sheeran. Through the song, the group sings about making the world a better place and their desire to give it back to someone who helped them find their way. In this case, it is interpreted as their way of showing appreciation to their ardent fans. Kashvi Raj Singh Kashvi Raj Singh is a Sub Editor at News18.

The best BTS albums of all time, ranked
With all seven members Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook of BTS officially discharged from their mandatory military service, one question is echoing across every ARMY group chat: 'When is the next album dropping?'. Well, the answer to that question is probably next year, but to be sure, we have to ask the boys. However, the reports of them cooking something in Los Angeles are coming until that moment arrives, why not revisit the discography that made BTS a global phenomenon? I took a trip down memory lane, and tried the impossible: ranking BTS's top 5 albums. Because we listen and we don't judge, but we rank. You get the idea. It wasn't easy, but here's my take, based on storytelling, sonic quality, and cultural impact.5. The Most Beautiful Moment in Life This was the era that first showcased BTS's lyrical depth and emotional range. With songs like 'I Need U' and 'Run', the album captured the chaotic beauty of youth, its pain, passion, and fleeting hope. It marked BTS's artistic turning point and laid the groundwork for everything that followed. It's poetic and powerful, but early in their evolution, which is why it lands at number five. 4. Love Yourself: AnswerAs the finale to the 'Love Yourself' trilogy, this album felt like a mic-drop moment. With a massive 25-track listing (including 'IDOL', 'Euphoria', and 'Epiphany'), it brought closure to a story about self-love, acceptance, and healing. It was a commercial and critical hit, showcasing their versatility. However, since much of the album repackaged previous tracks from the trilogy, it ranks fourth in this list. 3. Map of the Soul: 7This is BTS at their most introspective. Map of the Soul: 7 dives deep into the psychology of fame, identity, and personal growth. Tracks like 'Black Swan', 'ON', and 'We are Bulletproof: the Eternal' show how far they've come, musically and emotionally. With 20 tracks blending hip-hop, pop, and orchestral influences, it's a sonic experience that's both ambitious and vulnerable. It ranks third because of its sheer scale and depth, though its heavy themes might not be everyone's go-to replay. 2. BEDuring the pandemic, most people lost hope and forgot about the little moments of life. BTS addressed those issues with this album. 'BE' was their personal message to fans. From the disco-pop hit 'Dynamite' to the reflective 'Life Goes On' and 'Blue and Grey', this album offered comfort in uncertain times. It was also their most hands-on project, with each member contributing to production, visuals, and design. It's compact but incredibly heartfelt, as if they tried to ignite a ray of hope and telling us that no matter what life goes on. That is why this album deserves to be in the second spot. advertisement1. ProofI had a really hard time convincing my editor about this album. But we eventually decided on the ultimate BTS anthology. Proof isn't just an album, it's a retrospective celebration of their journey. Divided into three discs, it features their biggest hits, fan favourites, unreleased gems, and new songs like 'Yet to Come'. It bridges the past, present, and future of BTS in a way that feels both nostalgic and hopeful. This is their legacy in audio form, which is why it comfortably takes the top spot. Every BTS album is special in its own right, and ranking them feels almost unfair; each one reflects a different chapter in their evolution. But 'Proof' stands tall not just for its music, but for what it represents: a love letter to fans and a promise of what's still to the group gearing up for their highly anticipated return, revisiting their discography reminds us why BTS isn't just a band, it's a while we wait for the next big drop, turn the volume up and dive back into these timeless tracks. After all, the best way to prepare for what's next is to remember how it all began.- EndsMust Watch

I Need U (The Most Beautiful Moment In Life) – 2015 The song marked the beginning of BTS' HYYH era, which spanned from 2015 to 2016. During this period, their music significantly shifted from an initial hip-hop style to a focus on the struggles and emotions of youth, and I Need U perfectly illustrates the pain of fading love alongside the struggle of growing up. Blood Sweat & Tears (Wings) – 2016 One of the most iconic songs of the band, Blood, Sweat & Tears, showcases themes like desire, sacrifice and temptation. With its gripping music and intense lyrics, the song portrays a story of getting lost and yet finding the strength to keep going. Spring Day (You Never Walk Alone) – 2017 The song highlights the pain of missing a loved one and the quiet ache of longing. The metaphor spring day, used to depict the arrival of spring after a long winter, captures the essence of a long wait finally coming to an end. IDOL (Love Yourself: Answer) – 2018 In this song, the group embraces their true selves and refuses to lose themselves in the middle of everything. 'I'm never going to change; I'm never going to trade" – perfectly highlights this message. Boy With Luv Ft. Halsey (Map Of The Soul: Persona) – 2019 This joyful track is a celebration of love, comfort, life, and connection. The song urges the fans to cherish the little things in life that are often overlooked. Boy With Luv acts as a reminder that love can be found in the quietest moments of our lives. Life Goes On (BE) – 2020 During the COVID-19 pandemic, when uncertainty prevailed, BTS released this comforting track to reassure fans that whatever happens, life will always go on. Permission To Dance (Butter CD) – 2021 Permission To Dance is an ode to letting go and allowing yourself to feel good. The song reminds us that it's okay to take time and hit pause to find joy in difficult times. Yet To Come (Proof) – 2022 Released before the band announced their hiatus due to military enlistment, through this song, the band assured ARMYs that while there may be a short break, the best moments are yet to come. Take Two (Single) – 2023 This song feels like a personal letter to the ARMYs, asking them if they'll stay. Take Two expresses the band's desire to keep going and their promise to return to their fans soon. First Published: June 20, 2025, 14:55 IST
