About Dark & Wild Album
Dark & Wild (stylized DARK&WILD) is the debut studio album by South Korean boy band BTS, released on August 20, 2014, by Big Hit Entertainment. The album consists of fourteen tracks, with “Danger” as its lead single. A secondary single, “War of Hormone,” was later promoted.
The album’s release was preceded by a countdown clock on BTS’s official website starting on July 30, 2014, followed by a comeback trailer on August 5, which featured contrasting scenes, one in a forest paradise and another in abandoned structures, with lyrics from a Rap Monster verse. BTS released teaser photos and a concept photo on August 7, 2014. Additionally, they made the B-side song “Let Me Know” available for free streaming, composed and produced by Suga. The tracklist was revealed on BTS’s official social media, confirming “Danger” as the title song. Music video teasers for “Danger” and an album preview were later released, showcasing a blend of hip-hop, R&B, and electronica influences.
The album was produced with BTS recording the single “Danger” in a makeshift studio in a garage in Los Angeles. Later, BTS released 19 concept photos for “War of Hormone” and collaborated with Vietnamese singer Thanh Bùi for a remix of “Danger,” which was released in November 2014.
