SWIM” is the title track from BTS‘ fifth studio album, “Arirang“. The song was premiered on March 20, 2026, accompanied by the music video where actress Lili Reinhart plays the female part.
The group’s leader, RM, shared the following about “SWIM“, “Because it’s the title track, we held onto it the longest and thought hard. We tried all month to make a song that could surpass ‘SWIM’, but it wasn’t easy. When I first heard it, it felt like Pyongyang naengmyeon—plain and subtly warm in its charm. The more I listened, the more I felt, ‘I want to swim together.'”

Don’t know how to act, girl
I’m in the deep, tell me where the hell you at, girl?
Oh, you ain’t even gotta love me bad, girl
You know that I’m never holdin’ back, girl
