It has been five years since BIGBANG went on an indefinite hiatus, with their latest release being the MADE album released in 2016.

Recently, fans' hopes are once again brought to life when BIGBANG's rapper, T.O.P, was spotted working in a studio in the United States.

Pictures of T.O.P working alongside the producers while in a studio have once again sparked speculations of a comeback. Although only T.O.P was present, a producer working with the BIGBANG rapper teased that the song might not be T.O.P's solo song, but it could be BIGBANG's.

Some fans also speculate that T.O.P is representing BIGBANG in the United States to prepare for a performance at a popular music festival, Coachella - which has been postponed several times due to the pandemic. In fact, BIGBANG was part of the artist lineup in the 2020 Coachella, however, they were not able to perform because of COVID-19.
