BIGHIT MUSIC issued a statement about the new BTS single on Weverse. The agency confirms that RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook participated in the production of “Take Two”.

“All seven members participated in ‘Take Two’,” it continued. “The song conveys their appreciation toward ARMY for all the love you shower them with and their desire to always be together with you.”
“We sincerely express our gratitude to ARMY for making the 10th anniversary possible with your endless love for BTS, and we hope that ‘Take Two’ will become a precious ‘Gift’ from BTS to you all,” it added.
The statement also confirms that the new single will be released on Friday, June 9, 2023, at 1 p.m. KST.
ARMYs are certainly pleased with the announcement. There were previous concerns that BTS’ latest single “The Planet” might be the last full-group effort until 2025. However, BTS clearly wanted fans to get a special gift in time for their 10th anniversary.
The announcement of “Take Two” is the first major update for BTS Festa 2023, the month-long event when the group celebrates their anniversary. BTS previously unveiled a special map teasing the event’s timeline.
