Data Insight

Map of the Soul: 7 is built on a deep co-writing bench, with longtime in-house producer Pdogg anchoring the bulk of the record alongside outside collaborators including Ed Sheeran ("Make It Right"), Troye Sivan ("Louder than Bombs"), and Sia, who joined RM, Suga, and J-Hope on the lead single "On." The album also makes room for the members as authors in their own right: each of the seven gets a solo or sub-unit showcase, from Jimin's "Filter" and Jungkook's "My Time" to J-Hope's "Outro: Ego" and V's "Inner Child." Suga produces and co-writes across several cuts while RM and the rap line shape the lyrical spine of tracks like "Ugh!" and "Respect." The result balances large international writing teams against intensely personal member-driven songs.

Map of the Soul: 7 is BTS's fourth Korean studio album, released February 21, 2020 on Big Hit Entertainment. The 20-track record includes solo showcases for each member alongside group tracks and features Ed Sheeran as a co-writer on 'Make It Right.' It debuted at number one in 14 countries.
