About the Song

《Dionysus》 is a grand and electrifying track by BTS, introduced on MAP OF THE SOUL : PERSONA in 2019 and later included on MAP OF THE SOUL : 7 in 2020 through BIGHIT MUSIC. Written and composed by Pdogg, j-hope, RM, and SUGA, the song fuses mythic imagery with overwhelming performance energy, turning celebration, ambition, and artistic intoxication into something huge, theatrical, and unforgettable. With its explosive production, commanding vocals, and larger-than-life atmosphere, 《Dionysus》 stands out as one of BTS’s most dramatic and exhilarating songs, and I would strongly recommend it to listeners who enjoy the group at their most bold, chaotic, and spectacular.
