BE is a pandemic-era album that BTS conceived, co-produced, and creatively directed themselves, with each member taking charge of a different part of the project. Most of the tracks are self-written by the members alongside longtime collaborator Pdogg, who anchors the production, giving the record an intimate, group-authored feel that reflects on isolation and resilience. The exception is the closing single "Dynamite," the group's first all-English song, which was written and composed by outside British songwriters David Stewart and Jessica Agombar rather than the members. That contrast places a self-produced, member-led body of work next to a single built by external pop writers, both topping the Billboard Hot 100.
BE is BTS's fifth Korean studio album, released November 20, 2020 on Big Hit Entertainment. The eight-track album was largely self-produced by the members and themed around the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic. It features 'Dynamite,' their first Billboard Hot 100 number-one single, which was written entirely by outside songwriters David Stewart and Jessica Agombar.
