The South Korean boy band BTS is gearing up to put out a new English single in August.

韩国男团防弹少年团（BTS）准备在8月份发行一首新的英文单曲。

The band revealed the news of the forthcoming release via a V Live audio livestream, saying that it will be available via streams worldwide August 21.

这个组合通过V Live直播公布了即将发行新单的消息，说将在8月21日通过流媒体在全球发行。

The seven-member K-pop sensation told fans on the stream that they hoped the 'upbeat' track would create a 'breakthrough' amid the difficult days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

这个拥有七名成员的韩国流行男团在直播上对粉丝说，他们希望《upbeat》这首歌能在新冠疫情困难时期带来突破。

The track 'sounded perfect' as is, according to Member V.

防弹少年团（BTS）成员V说这首歌“听起来很完美”。

On the stream, the band said that they're excited about putting out a new album later this year, which would make two for 2020, as they put out the studio album Map of the Soul: 7 this past February.

防弹少年团（BTS）在直播上说他们很开心能在今年晚些时候发行新专辑，也是2020年发行的第二张专辑（第一张专辑《Map of the Soul: 7》于今年2月份发行）。

'We also needed a breakthrough during these unforeseen times, so we worked on this new song,' the band said, according to the outlet. 'This is a new challenge for us as well. When we first heard and recorded the song, we were energized and our spirits were lifted up.

据媒体报道，防弹少年团（BTS）说：“我们也需要在这段不可意料的时期有所突破，所以我们创作了这首新歌。这对我们来说也是一个新的挑战。我们刚听到并录制这首歌时充满热情，精神也为之一振。”

'We can't wait to share this song with you all.'

“我们等不及要跟你们所有人分享这首歌了。”

The band, who performed on the Grammys and on The Tonight Show earlier this year, is repped by Big Hit Entertainment, who put out a statement on the band's fan club app WeVerse after the band's livestream.

今年早些时候，防弹少年团（BTS）曾参演了格莱美颁奖典礼和《今夜秀》，他们的直播结束后经纪公司BigHit Entertainment在这一组合的粉丝俱乐部应用程序WeVerse上发布了一则声明。

BTS was primed to play a series of shows in the native South Korea this past April when they canceled the shows in February amid the outbreak of the virus, which has grinded the musical touring industry to a halt with the enhanced risk of infection amid large gatherings of people.

防弹少年团（BTS）本来计划4月份会有一系列的表演在韩国国内进行，但是2月份疫情爆发，于是演出取消了。由于人群大规模聚集会增加传染风险，音乐巡演项目纷纷暂停。
