Make way! The “Kings of K-Pop” have finally made their return with new music.
Following the release of “Flower Road” in the spring of 2018, BIGBANG released their newest single, “Still Life” at midnight on April 5, 2022, K.S.T—nearly four years after. This is their first music release as a quartet, following Seungri’s departure from the group and retirement from the entertainment industry.
“Still Life” is a song that expresses the BIGBANG members’ nostalgia as they look back on their youth by using the seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter). The song is described as a “memorable track with an organic and warm band sound featuring a timeless melody paired with beautiful lyrics”. Members G-Dragon and T.O.P. participated in the composition and lyrics of the single.
Emotions are on an all-time high for VIPS, the fans of BIGBANG. They’ve been through a lot as a fandom these past few years, especially with Seungri’s controversy. “Still Life” for them was a gift, and a trip down memory lane. It was a song about BIGBANG’s journey as a group, and how they were a part of it as they are still going strong to this day.
This song is so beautifully made. It takes you down memory lane, makes you reminisce the good n bad times. Very sentimental, comforting yet bittersweet. We dk if this is gonna be the last, but thank you BIGBANG for everything 👑
Until whenever

The song is empty and all VIPs can feel it.
Their is no chorus or unity.
When I said the song will just be 4 individuals telling their own story I was absolutely right. And we didn't get a scene of them 4 together. Sometimes I know my band too well.#BIGBANG_StillLife— AXHXO 🍀 (@axhxo1) April 4, 2022

The symbolism with T.O.P ‘s part and the legend of the Rabbit on the moon. The parallel with the rabbit and how like the rabbit he also sacrificed a lot and now lives away from the prying eyes. #BIGBANG_StillLife #BIGBANGisBACK pic.twitter.com/bFk7WwX91t

I barely was able to recognize my boys. The reality just hit me—they’re not boys anymore. They’re men, all beautifully grown, all of them bravely survived the worst storm.
I missed you all so much. I am so damn proud to be your VIP.#BIGBANGisBACK #BIGBANG_StillLife #BIGBANG pic.twitter.com/2a9nXrrpeZ

The media and Korea telling T.O.P he is a bad human for what happened in 2017
T.O.P claiming in this song he is a good person and will become a better person. ❤️
