Speaking to Apple Music about the latest track, BTS's RM said: "This is 'Dynamite' - made of positive vibes, energy, hope, love, the purity, everything.
"Recording this song was really fun... We're going through difficult times so we tried to have more fun working on this song.
"We made this song in hopes of giving energy to the listeners. We're glad this song turned out great and hope a lot of our fans can listen to it to receive the positive energy we tried to incorporate in the song."

Bandmate Jimmin said during an online press conference: "Everyone in the world is going through tough times right now, nobody expected this, and we ourselves couldn't do a lot of the things we had planned. We really wanted to be on stage, we wanted to meet our fans.
"As artists we felt empty and helpless and we needed a breakthrough to overcome this emptiness, and we came across this opportunity to try something new.
"'Dynamite' is a song that can lift anyone's spirits."
