BTS Releases Remixes of 'SWIM' for All 7 Members With 'KEEP SWIMMING' Remix Album

BTS has officially dropped "KEEP SWIMMING," a nine-track remix album that reimagines the group's hit single "SWIM" through the individual musical styles of all seven members, RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook.

The album was released at 1 p.m. KST on Friday, March 27, as announced by the group's label, BIGHIT MUSIC, through the fan platform Weverse. "KEEP SWIMMING" follows the release of "SWIM," the lead single from BTS's fifth studio album "ARIRANG," which came out on March 20.

The remix album contains the original version of "SWIM," an instrumental version, and seven remixes that each reflect one member's musical taste. According to BIGHIT MUSIC, the remixes "bring diverse charms by expanding the original song's framework," according to Soompi.

RM opens the collection with a Chill Hip Hop Remix that gives the song a softer, more laid-back feel. Jin follows with an Alternative Rock Remix that blends Brit rock and punk rock for a high-energy take. SUGA's Melodic Techno Remix adds depth with layered, three-dimensional club sounds.

j-hope brings an Afrobeat Remix built around guitar and piano melodies with a Latin-inspired groove. Jimin delivers a Slow Jam R&B Remix, using soulful guitar, smooth keyboard sounds, and bouncy drums to highlight emotion and sensuality.

V takes the electronic route, contributing a remix with intense bass and altered vocal textures. Jung Kook closes out the member remixes with an Acoustic Lofi Remix, featuring gentle guitar work and warm vocals that build on the original's comforting tone, MK reported.
