Harry takes new swipe at royals saying families feel 'shame' over mental health If you’ve managed to stop screaming for long enough to read this, then you’ll probably be wondering exactly when and how you’ll be able to get your hands on their album. Well never fear, because we’ve got everything you need to know right here… When is BTS’ Map Of The Soul: Persona album released? The Bangtan Boys’ new album is coming out this Friday, 12 April 2019. BTS have already released the tracklisting – those boys are such teases. We now know that there will be seven songs on the album, including Persona, which has already been released, and Boy With Luv, featuring Halsey, the teaser for which was released this week. The rest of the songs on Map Of The Soul: Persona are Mikrokosmos, Make It Right, HOME, Jamais Vu and Dionysus. Map Of The Soul: Persona will be dropping eight months after the release of BTS’ last album, Love Yourself: Answer, which was the group’s second album to make it to number one in the US. Map Of The Soul: Persona is currently available to pre-order in the UK on Amazon, so get a shift on, because if trying to get tickets to their Wembley concerts in June taught us anything, it’s that most things BTS are likely to sell out fast.

The willingness to wake up for the release at the crack of dawn is no surprise, as the hype led to a reported 2.6 million copies sold within five days of the pre-sale announcement. See below for some amazing tweets from impatient fans who are ready to wake up with the Sun to get that first BTS listen.<doc-sep>1) The album is titled ‘Map Of The Soul: Persona’ - a reference to Carl Jung’s ‘Jung’s Map Of The Soul’ - which their record label Big Hit are selling copies of in Korean! If you're interested in purchasing, click here. 2) The album is due out on April 12th worldwide. 3) The first single from the album is ‘Boy With Luv’ - referencing their earlier 2014 song ‘Boy In Luv’ - we love a good Easter egg! Watch ‘Boy In Luv’ below... 4) Halsey is a feature! She will appear in the ‘Boy With Luv’ song and video, and you can see her in the teaser below… 5) BTS were the #2 global top recording artists of 2018, and their 2018 albums ‘Love Yourself: Answer’ and ‘Love Yourself: Tear’ were #2 and #3 respectively in the global top albums of 2018, and they were also both #1 albums on Billboard Top 200. We have great expectations for ‘Map Of The Soul: Persona’ then! 6) ‘Map Of The Soul: Persona’ has been marked as the ‘beginning of a new chapter’ for the band, but we’re going to have to wait to find out more about what that could mean! 7) The first song ‘Intro: Persona’ (also just known as 'Persona') is a solo by band member RM - it has also been used as the comeback trailer for the album and is already out! 8) The tracklist has been released and many of the titles contain reference to mythology and philosophy - ‘Mikrokosmos’ is the Ancient Greek word for ‘microcosm’, ‘Dionysus’ is the Ancient Greek god of wine, and ‘Jamais Vu’ is a concept for the experience that is opposite to deja vu (literally translating from French as ‘never seen’). 9) The album will only have seven tracks, but what with all the videos, promos and photoshoots, we are sure to be getting a satisfying amount of content! 10) ‘Map Of The Soul: Persona’ has four different ‘versions’ listed on the BTS webstore - this doesn’t mean there’s four versions of the tracks though, just the cover art will differ, as well as the phonebook that comes along with the album. You can either buy the full set of four, or purchase one 'random' one; what you recieve will be a surpirse! 11) ‘Map Of The Soul: Persona’ has been marked as the ‘beginning of a new chapter’ for the band, but we’re going to have to wait to find out more about what that could mean! 11) All seven members of BTS will be appearing on Saturday Night Live the day after the album comes out - this will be their first post-album performance so is sure to be exciting! BTS (@BTS_twt) will be musical guests on NBC's 'Saturday Night Live' on April 13! pic.twitter.com/mhe8EhxSfs — worldwideBTS (@btsanalytics) March 13, 2019 BTS's new album 'Map Of The Soul: Persona' is out this Friday!
