Overview
- The group released the music video for Hooligan, a B-side from ARIRANG, offering a chaotic foil to the mellow title track SWIM.
- The track credits RM, j-hope, and Suga as co-writers alongside producers El Guincho, Fakeguido, and Jasper Harris.
- At a Spotify x BTS fan event in New York, RM said the song’s looping laugh was planned in the studio rather than a random ad-lib.
- RM added that Jungkook had to hit the laugh in triplet rhythm, struggled at first, then locked it in for the final take.
- Early reports say both SWIM and Hooligan are climbing global streaming charts as BTS promotes its first major post-service comeback.
