On September 27, V brought a “huge” gift to fans: a post with a series of videos and photos, recording his life over the three months since his discharge from the military. Especially standing out among them was the two-month journey in Los Angeles with the 6 BTS members, working hard for the album scheduled to be released next spring.
In the series of photos and clips shared, V appeared in many different scenes: from sitting relaxed outdoors, having fun by the sea, to moments of concentration in the studio. His closeness yet still exuding star quality made fans love it.
However, the post quickly became the center of attention not only because of the daily-life moments of the male idol but also because of an extremely special reveal, a “detail” about one of the songs in the upcoming album. Whether intentional or α¢¢ι∂єитal, V really is always one of the members who knows how to please ARMYs the most! No one can stop him from spoiling for his beloved fans.
Specifically, a video posted by V shared the exciting working atmosphere of him in the studio with colleagues. Even though he had been very careful to mute the sound of the video so as not to reveal the melody, the frame still α¢¢ι∂єитally captured the computer screen with the music production software Logic Pro X opened. It displayed a session that seemed to be complete for one of the new songs.
It seemed this hint would make it difficult for ARMYs, but no, our fandom gathers a lot of geniuses. Only a few minutes after some ARMY colleagues requested help from other genius ARMYs, the “code” was neatly solved. The results made the community extremely excited!
According to many opinions from some technically knowledgeable fans, the session on Logic Pro X showed this is a modern arrangement with pop/hip-hop influence, using trap-style drums, dreamy synths along with many layered vocals arranged elaborately. The atmosphere of this song can be imagined as similar to the music products of The Weeknd: moody, atmospheric yet still full of mainstream appeal.
Meanwhile, the fandom was impressed by the professional explanation of a fan with the ID @mafiaarmy7love. According to OP, on the screen it was clearly shown many green MIDI tracks for the programmed drums, bαѕѕ, and synth textures, interspersed with blue audio tracks recording vocals. The arrangement of the markers also revealed that the song has a coherent flow, consisting of clear verse – hook – bridge, showing that this is not just a demo but already a fairly complete arrangement.
Especially, the beat of the song is clearly influenced by trap music: intense hi-hats, deep 808 bαѕѕ, and strong kicks creating a solid backbone. At the same time, many synth layers stacked on top of each other helped increase the depth, while the vocals were processed doubled and harmonized, both standing out and having thickness. Overall, it brought a contemporary hip-hop/R&B feeling, modern and radio-friendly, strong enough to spread widely when officially released.
These answers, along with V’s excited and enjoying expressions in the working videos, made fans extremely thrilled to look forward to the comeback album of the “21st century pop icon.” Fans left comments expressing their emotions while not forgetting to credit the genius ARMYs in the field of music production:
