The album aims to deliver a message of healing to fans and the world, while stating that, “Even in the face of this new normality, our life goes on”.
BTS, which consists of RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook, was said to be involved in the album’s production, starting from music to concept, composition and design. Along with featuring the most “BTS-esque” music and a “richer musical spectrum” experience, BE (deluxe edition) also contains the septet’s “thoughts, emotions and reflections”.
