Group member Bobby also helped B.I. with lyrics for title track ‘Love Scenario.’ A first glimpse at the track art shows a monochromatic, chic new look for the K-pop group.

Other YG artists contribute their talents to ‘Return,’ including Psy, Epik High leader Tablo, and Big Bang member Taeyang.

Taeyang also pitches in with his composing talents on the special bonus track ‘Long Time No See.’

‘Return’ Teaser Film

In anticipation of their newest album, iKON has already released a teaser film on their comeback. In the teaser, Bobby narrates to a backdrop of psychedelic scenes, close-ups of members, and haunting music. When translated, the rapper asks if we need to cling to the past. He explains that by doing so, we end up losing ourselves. Instead, Bobby says, we need to remember how to feel alive again. He ends the teaser film by saying that “The new kids return,” hinting at the comeback album.
