[Fuse] Listen to BIGBANG's Trappy New Banger, "Bang Bang Bang"

Enough BANG for ya? The Korean phenoms' latest comes with another out-of-control visual filled with loads of glitter, motorcycles and fluorescent hair colors


One of the top reasons we told you it was time to pay attention to BIGBANG was the K-pop phenoms' plan to release new music at the top of every month. As promised, on this first day of June, here's the guys' new track "Bang Bang Bang."

Their latest recalls past BIGBANG bangers like 2012's "Fantastic Baby" (a.k.a. the most-watched non-Psy Korean music video on YouTube) for being a nonstop party track that utilizes current trends. There's a '90s-inspired dance beat (very hot right now thanks to Diplo and Disclosure) before it moves into a trap-heavy breakdown (the type we've heard in recent hits like DJ Snake's "Turn Down for What" and Dillon Francis' "Get Low").

As expected, the accompanying music video is an over-the-top affair, with the guys rocking a slew of wild looks, hairdos and fashions in a neon-tinged world. Sometimes the costumes go a little too far (we're uncomfortable with Seungri's Native American headdress), but otherwise we're predicting this video to be one of K-pop's most watched clips by the end of 2015.

Last month, BIGBANG's two new hip hop singles "Loser" and "Bae Bae" tied a Billboard chart record previously set by Psy. But "Bang Bang Bang," along with its accompanying B-side "We Like 2 Party" (look out for its video on Friday!), look poised for even bigger things.

BIGBANG Talks about Beauty and Devotion of Longtime Fans

BIGBANG Talks about Beauty and Devotion of Longtime Fans

On BIGBANG‘s June 1 special live countdown show, host Seungri asks the other members if there’s anything they’d like to say to their fans who’ve been with them for almost ten years. The band debuted back in 2006, so they’re rounding up a bit – but it’s still an incredibly long time!

Seungri notes that the fans who started out with them over a decade ago have now aged ten years, just as they have. “Some have gotten married, and some of them have kids now,” he adds.

Seungri first turns to G-Dragon and asks him to say something to their longtime fans. “How’s married life?” G-Dragon says to the camera, totally stone-faced.

Taeyang takes a bit more of a serious approach. “They say that even mountains change in ten years’ time,” he says. “I find it so touching that despite that, your feelings haven’t changed.”

He promises that the group will respond to that by not changing either and continuing to try to produce good music. “Thanks for always being such an example for us. Don’t change in the future, and love us even more,” he asks their fans.

T.O.P is next and says, “Even when I see our fans for the first time in a while, it seems like they’re just as beautiful.” But when a fan sends in a message saying she’d spent her teenaged years with him, T.O.P answers, “That’s not true. I spent them alone.”

Seungri then turns to Daesung, who says, “I’m grateful, of course. Ten years is 3,650 days. It’s huge!”

On this show, BIGBANG were counting down with their fans to the release of their most recent single, “Made Series-A” and the music video for “BANG BANG BANG.”
