						<p>Despite the fact that they scored their first No. 1 hit in the US this year with “Dynamite,” BTS knows that 2020 has been bummer.</p>
<p>And the <strong>South Korean boy band</strong> is here to soothe all your pandemic woes with <strong>“Life Goes On,”</strong> the lead track and first single off of the group’s new album “BE,” which dropped early Friday.</p>
<p>On the acoustic-guitar-laced mid-tempo track, BTS — crooning as well as rapping — offers <strong>COVID-era</strong> comfort in both Korean and English. “Like an echo in the forest … Yeah, life goes on/Like an arrow in the blue sky,” they sing.</p>
<p>BTS also addresses <strong>the coronavirus crisis</strong> on the more upbeat “Dis-ease”: “Sick and tired/But I don’t wanna mess up/’Cause life goes on/Through the fire … Walk it, walk it, walk it.”</p>
<p>With only eight songs over 28 minutes, “BE” is more of an EP than an album. The LP — featuring lyrics in both Korean and English throughout — starts off slow and sleepy before picking up the pace in the second half.</p>
<p>In the middle there is a “Skit” featuring the conversations that BTS had when they discovered that <strong>“Dynamite”</strong> had hit No. 1 in the US. That track — the only one completely sung in English — ends “BE” with a bang.</p>
<p>After the boys made their <strong>debut performance at the MTV VMAs</strong> in August, the K-pop septet will play the American Music Awards for the first time on Sunday. No surprise — they’ll sing “Life Goes On.” And so does BTS, too, apparently.</p>
