Last Updated:
Permission to Dance On Stage- Live features 22 songs from their sold-out tour by the same name.
Within a month of all members completing their mandatory military service, BTS released a new project, titled Permission to Dance On Stage – Live, on July 18. It is their first release in three years, and marks their return as a full unit after a hiatus. Although the album brings back their past hits, their fans were still extremely excited about the comeback of their favourite musicians, and they absolutely loved it. What's the proof?
A report by Billboard revealed that music fanatics chose BTS ' Permission to Dance live album over any other artist that week. On July 18, the media outlet published a poll offering choices between BTS, Alex Warren, Nine Inch Nails, Jessie Murph, and Zach Bryan. Among all, the K-pop supergroup's first-ever live album emerged as the favourite release in the past week.
Permission to Dance On Stage- Live received 94 per cent votes, whereas Alex Warren, who released You'll Be Alright Kid, could manage only 2.03 per cent of the votes. Jessie Murph for Sex Hysteria, Zach Bryan for Madeline feat. Gabrielle Rose and Nine Inch Nails for As Alive As You Need Me to Be received 0.27 per cent, 0.32 per cent and 0.68 per cent, respectively.
BTS' live album, named after their 2021 sold-out tour Permission to Dance, features 22 songs. An hour and 20 minutes long, the album features songs like DNA, Idol, Fake Love, Dynamite and Butter, among others. They also released a digital package called Permission to Dance On Stage – Seoul, which features the live recording og their performance in Seoul as well as some behind-the-scenes photos.
The live album came at a time when the septet, comprising RM, Jin, J-Hope, Suga, Jimin, V and Jungkook, had officially reunited to prepare for a brand-new album. During a Weverse live event earlier this month, the group announced not only a new album, slated for release sometime in 2026, but also their highly anticipated world tour.
'We'll be releasing a new BTS album in the spring of next year. Starting in July, all seven of us will begin working closely together on new music. Since it will be a group album, it will reflect each member's thoughts and ideas," they said in a statement. BTS is currently in Los Angeles, preparing for their new album.
