Korean artist G-Dragon returned with his latest single “Home Sweet Home” featuring fellow Big Bang members Taeyang and Daesung.
The mid tempo song explores pop-rock soundscapes, delivering a poignant message of reconnection and continuity. The record gives fans a sense of nostalgia as they sing of picking up where they left off with lyrics like “I said I would be back / I’d never let you go.”
G-Dragon, known for his artistic innovation and cultural impact, will also perform at the MAMA Awards in Osaka, Japan, on Nov. 23, marking his first performance at the prestigious event in nine years.
