BTS Expands Arirang with Come Over and a Limited-edition Vinyl
The anniversary celebration is bringing more than one surprise, with multiple releases arriving in very short periods of time.
Highlights
- BTS is making Festa 2026 celebrations into a major new release moment tied to the Arirang era.
- The group is all set to digitally release the track, Come Over, that was initially unavailable through standard album editions.
- The rollout does not stop with just one track, as another vinyl-exclusive Arirang song is set to get a music video release through a partnership with Spotify.
BTS is utilizing its annual debut anniversary event to push for multi-format rollout, which blends together digital single releases, rare physical pressings, and exclusive streaming video content. According to Yonhap, BigHit Music, the group’s agency, revealed that the digital single Come Over will come to various streaming platforms on June 12, 2026, at 01:00 pm KST.
BTS Come Over Arrives for Festa 2026
The Come Over release seems to be a central pillar of this year's BTS Festa, the group’s annual anniversary celebration. Although the song will soon make its digital debut, it is not entirely unreleased; Come Over was initially released last month as a part of the deluxe vinyl edition of ARIRANG, the group's fifth studio album. According to The Korea Times, BTS has also been embedding the song into select concert setlists to introduce it to audiences ahead of the formal arrival.
With Suga at the helm and RM and J-Hope in the credits, Come Over reportedly blends pop and stadium-ready sound through synth-driven production and layered vocals. Lyrically, it traces the journey of returning to someone through uncertainty, a theme that resonates with BTS' own reunion with their fandom, ARMY.
Arirang Limited Edition Vinyl & Spotify MV for Merry Go Round Announced
The digital drop aligns with a highly specific physical release on the same day. Yonhap reports that BigHit will simultaneously also issue a 16-track LP titled Arirang (613 Limited Edition Picture Disc Vinyl).

The record would reportedly include the core studio album alongside two bonus tracks, namely, Normal (Korean Ver.) and Voice Message: Love Song. The latter track features a recorded conversation among the members addressing a singular question: “What is your love song?”
Furthermore, BTS will also premiere its Spotify-exclusive music video for Merry Go Round, which is another track pulled from the Arirang tracklist. Notably, the visual release will debut next June 19, 2026, Friday at 06:00 pm KST.
