Pop sensation Big Bang released a new EP on March 13.
YG Entertainment announced that Big Bang's new single “Flower Road” has input from all five band members, and that it mirrors what the band has been going through these days, considering the vacancies caused by the members' military service. The agency said that it was released on March 13, as Big Bang member Daesung begins his mandatory military service.
Though the group's most recent LP was "Made" (2016), this is the group's first single in 15 months. It features lyrics and songs by the leader, G-Dragon, and T.O.P also wrote some of the lyrics, too.
The lyrics reflect Big Bang's desire to meet with its fans again.
“This is not the end of us / I hope we’ll meet again when the flowers are blooming/ You’ll rest for a while along this flower road / Please wait for me on the road, there.”
Following G-Dragon beginning his military service on Feb. 27, Taeyang began on March 12, and Daesung starts on March 13. T.O.P fulfilled his mandatory duty by doing alternative civilian service.
