About the Song
《Hooligan》 is a fierce, rebellious track by BTS from ARIRANG, released in 2026 through BIGHIT MUSIC. Built on a dark, high-impact sound, the song was written and composed by El Guincho, Michel Magne, Pablo Martinez Alborch, MarcLo, Xplicit, Jungkook, Delacey, Jasper Harris, RM, j-hope, SUGA, Derrick Milano, Pdogg, and Kirsten Allyssa Spencer, bringing together a striking mix of sharp production and restless energy. With its aggressive momentum, stylish edge, and unapologetic intensity, 《Hooligan》 stands out as a bold and instantly gripping song that I would strongly recommend to listeners who want to hear BTS at their most explosive, raw, and electrifying.

the track celebrates unfiltered energy and the liberation found in losing oneself to a powerful beat. it portrays the group and their fans as “hooligans” not in a violent sense, but as individuals who break through societal restraints to express raw passion and joy. by embracing controlled chaos, the song emphasizes that music is a universal muse that can turn any space into an unforgettable stadium of unity and dance.
