Others include "Body to Body," "Hooligan," "Alien," "FYA," "2.0," "No. 29," "Merry Go Round," "NORMAL," "Like Animals," "they don't know about us," "One More Night," "Please," "Into the future,"

In this album, member RM took over the overall lyrics and melted the thoughts of the current BTS. In addition, Chairman Hive Bang Si-hyuk took over the general production and improved the completeness of the album.

As it marks the beginning of a new chapter, the music video of the new song also boasts an overwhelming scale. The teaser video released earlier showed seven members standing side by side on a white sailboat crossing the rough sea, giving a thrill. The solid momentum and grand directing of the members staring straight ahead as if they would not be shaken by any ordeal visually expressed the mood of the new song "Swim."

The music video was directed by world-renowned director Tanu Muino with a megaphone.

The performance will be preceded by coach Hamish Hamilton, who spearheaded the Super Bowl halftime show, the largest sports event in the United States.
