About ‘Dynamite’
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the single from ‘BE’, BTS’ fifth studio album, “Dynamite” is an “explosive” and addictive disco-pop song, also marking the first song completely performed in English by the South Korean group.
The song quickly became a worldwide phenomenon when it reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100, being the first song by a South Korean act to do so, in addition to being nominated for a Grammy for best pop performance by a duo or group.
