While we wait impatiently for that Spring Day coming in 2026, let's take a look back at each BTS album, starting from the very beginning! Welcome to our weekly BTS Album Rewind!

2 COOL 4 SKOOL

BTS' debut album, 2 COOL 4 SKOOL was released June 12, 2013 with main track "No More Dream." BigHit said of the release:

Hip hop group BTS has released its debut single 2 COOL 4 SKOOL. While billed as a single, the album boasts an impressive 27-minute runtime. This is the product of the firm conviction and passion of BTS that hip hop musicians must make their voices heard through their albums. Each member flexed their musical prowess by taking part in creating the lyrics and music for every song on the album. BTS has repeatedly said that “hip hop is genuine music for telling one’s own story,” and indeed the members rap about their own experiences and emotions. There is no discontinuity between the emotions and lyrics of BTS. The album is a satisfaction in both quality and quantity.
