by. ymchoi

BTS has offered a first glimpse of their upcoming title track.

On March 18, BTS released a music video teaser for "SWIM," the title track of their 5th full album ARIRANG, via the HYBE Labels YouTube channel. The clip runs approximately 16 seconds.

The teaser opens with a woman running into an empty museum. She stops in front of a large ship model, unable to take her eyes off it. The scene then shifts to calm ocean waves, where shimmering reflections create a dreamlike atmosphere, eventually forming the word "SWIM" across the sea.

A snippet of the new track's melody is also unveiled. Toward the end of the video, BTS's vocals emerge over an orchestral arrangement, building anticipation for the full release.

The music video is directed by Tanu Muino, known for working with Jungkook, Post Malone, and Doja Cat.

"SWIM" is described as an upbeat alternative pop track, delivering a message about continuing to move forward and "swim" through the waves of life. RM participated in writing the lyrics.

BTS will release ARIRANG on March 20, followed by a comeback performance on March 21 at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul.
