Fya” (stylized in all caps) is a song by South Korean boy band BTS from their tenth studio album, Arirang (2026). It was produced by Diplo, Flume and Nitti Gritti.

Composition

“Fya” is a Jersey club song,[1][2] with “revving synths and distorted beats”.[3] The music has been described as evoking the “sound of machinery in motion”[4] and the sensation of a “chase scene through a bondage club, full of thrums and thwacks.”[5]

Critical reception

The song received generally positive reviews. AllMusic‘s Neil Z. Yeung described it as “impeccably-produced” and “a high intensity dancefloor assault”.[6] Nicole Fell of The Hollywood Reporter and Maria Letícia L. Gomes of Clash both considered it a standout of Arirang,[2][4] with the former commenting that “Sonically speaking, it’s completely out of left field for the group, in the best way possible. The lyrics are catchy ass [sic] hell too”.[2] Rhian Daly of NME stated the song “revs up into something urgent and uplifting.”[7] Pitchfork‘s Joshua Minsoo Kim criticized the song, describing it as “noxiously self-serious, its half-energetic verve deadened by its Auto-Tune slurry.”[8]
