Pop royalty BTS and Spotify are bringing “Merry Go Round” to life with a Spotify Music Video, set to premiere exclusively on Spotify on June 19 at 5 p.m. (Manila time).
“Merry Go Round” is from “ARIRANG,” the record-breaking fifth studio album by BTS. Released in March 2026, the 14-track album marks the group’s first release since completing their mandatory military service. The record has enjoyed massive global success, extending its run to 11 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 chart.
The Spotify Music Video is set to take the global audience deeper into the universe BTS has built in the song, serving as a visual representation of the endlessly recurring cycles of life. More teasers will be dropped across Spotify’s social channels in the lead-up to the Spotify Music Video premiere.
This highly anticipated visual release builds on the ongoing partnership between the global pop icons and the streaming platform. In May, they successfully collaborated to host the interactive “SWIMSIDE” immersive fan experience, which included a celebrated stop in Manila from May 1 to 3 at the Glorietta Activity Center. During the three-day activation, fans were able to immerse themselves in the “ARIRANG” album through interactive photo zones, watch parties, and exclusive merchandise.
Aside from the anticipation surrounding the premiere of “Merry Go Round” Spotify Music Video, local interest has hit a fever pitch after reports confirmed that the upcoming BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG in Bulacan is completely sold out. Tickets for the stadium shows were reportedly snapped up instantly across all ticketing tiers, leaving many Filipino fans hoping for an extra night to be added to the schedule.
