BTS are gearing up to release Map Of The Soul: 7 ~ The Journey ~ on July 14. This will be the band’s first Japanese album in over two years, and will feature Japanese versions of songs from Map Of The Soul: 7!
The album will also feature two new songs – “Your Eyes Tell” and “Stay Gold.” Today, the world got to hear “Stay Gold” in its entirety, and…
I’ve caught myself referring to this song as “00:00 (Zero O’ Clock)“‘s sister. The beat feels so happy that you could cry, and Jungkook opens up the song with the reassuring lyrics, “In a world where you feel cold, you gotta stay gold, baby.”
Japanese music chart Orion recently revealed that BTS were the first foreign act in 36 years to top their album chart for the first half of the year. The last artist to do so was Michael Jackson!
Map Of The Soul: 7 ~ The Journey ~ will be out on digital July 14 at 8AM PT/11AM ET (midnight JST on July 15). Physical versions will be available in the United States starting on August 7. I can’t wait!
