BIGBANG

Nominated song: Flower Road

Date of release: 13/3

Although “Flower Road” is only a fan song, Bigbang has shown their widespread popularity and once again proved the unique status of the group in the Korean music industry. Although Bigbang only released the digital version and they neither had any special promotional activities nor launched an MV, the song still occupied the No. 1 spot on charts after the ranking system was reformed. According to Melon chart, the song was in the Top 100 for 207 consecutive days and had 18 times reaching No. 1. The song was released during the time when 4 members of the group except for Seungri were performing their military service.

This was a surprise gift to the fans who were waiting for Bigbang to come back with the full line-up. “Flower Road” shows the distinctive personality of Bigbang when it is not a farewell song; on the other hand, it conveys the message “If you miss us, call us back”. The song’s lyrics were written by Top and G-Dragon. At the same time, Bigbang’s leader also participated in composing and arranging music. As a single recorded two years ago, the image of the single jacket image was the continuation of the full album “MADE” introduced in 2016. That the song used Bigbang’s signature sound 10 years after the song “Sunset Glow” was released in 2008 also makes the listeners feel more interested.
