Background[edit]

Big Bang released their second Korean language studio album, Remember, in November 2008. Two Korean extended plays were then released in 2011 and 2012 respectively. The members of the band focused on their solo careers, with each (except T.O.P.) releasing one solo project. The album was first announced in January 2014 by G-Dragon, but was postponed.^[4] On April 20, 2015, YG Entertainment announced Big Bang's comeback after a hiatus of nearly three years following Still Alive (2012).^[5] Later, the trailer for Big Bang's Made World Tour was unveiled.^[6] Before the official album release, the Made project was divided into four parts, each of which included two singles that were released under each letter of the word Made, as M, A, D, and E. The first four parts were released on the first day of every month from May to August 2015, apart from the final part named E, which was released on August 5, 2015.^[7] The single releases were met with success; the four releases topped the monthly Gaon Digital Chart, making Big Bang the first act to have four consecutive monthly number-ones.^[8] Additionally, three of the songs were among the five best-performing singles of 2015.^[9] The last project was to release the full album in September. However, due to Big Bang's world tour and busy schedules, the full album was delayed.^[10]

On October 18, 2016, the members started filming music videos for the final release of the album in Cheongju. The second music video was filmed on October 15 in Seoul.^[11] On November 22, YG announced that the release of the full album would take place on December 12, 2016.^[12] On December 6, the lead single was revealed as 'Fxxk It'.^[13] The following two days, the second single was announced to be a slow R&B song named 'Last Dance',^[14] and the track list of the album was released, confirming three new songs along with the eight singles that were released in 2015.^[15]

Composition[edit]

Music and lyrics[edit]

Made comprises an eclectic mix of songs,^[16] with Billboard stating that the album is 'testament to the versatility K-pop acts can show in the music and just how truly hard it is to call K-pop a 'genre.'^[17]AllMusic wrote that, in this album, Big Bang's 'trademark mix of dance-pop and R&B was blended with contemporary tropical and trap influences.'^[1] During the album's recording Big Bang aimed to create an album that would allowed them 'to do and show unexpected things.'^[18] Commenting about the variety of music genres, G-Dragon explained that 'there are performance songs, and then there are songs of various colors. There will always be an unexpected twist.' And added 'because the album styles were different, it was a bit of a free-for-all.'^[19]

The record's lyrical content 'introduced a more mature style' to the group, but 'without losing the images they had enforced through previous releases.'^[20] In an interview, Taeyang said that the group 'focused mostly on the issues that our society is facing and how we look at society.' He concluded that they 'wanted to have an exchange and sympathize' about their struggles with the public.^[19] In 'Loser', they describe the feelings of 'doubt and unhappiness that accompany the everyday life of a self-proclaimed loser.'^[21] 'Zutter', performed solely by the rappers of the group, G-Dragon and T.O.P, was noted for instead of the duo being 'in reverence of themselves', they 'are aware they are participating in a time-worn hip-hop tradition of unreasoning self-assertion and the debauchery that follows success.'^[22]

'Bae Bae' and 'Fxxk It' were noted for their sexual 'charms' and vulgarity, showcasing the group's ability to mix 'heartfelt with tongue-in-cheek lyrics'.^[23][24] In contrast, 'Let's Not Fall in Love' presents 'the pressures and worries of starting a new relationship and committing to a person, and the potential pain that accompanies the risk of opening up to someone',^[25] while 'Last Dance' is a message to their fans and a reflection of the group's decade together.^[26]

Songs[edit]

Made opens with 'Fxxk It', a mid-tempo electronic hip-hop track with tropical elements.^[26] 'Last Dance' is a pop-rock ballad^[26] while 'Girlfriend' is a 'hip hop throwback to the group's earlier efforts.'^[27] 'Let's Not Fall in Love' is a pop-rock tune with a classic dance sound, including acoustic melodies and hazy synths.^[21][28] 'Loser' is a R&B track with the group's 'brand of emotional hip-hop'^[29] while the following 'Bae Bae' was observed for 'taking the popular trap genre and turning it K-pop with flecks of electronica and bizarre samples.'^[29]

'Bang Bang Bang' presents a 'explosive modern EDM buzz' with a trap breakdown in the chorus, being called a 'party anthem'.^[20][30] 'Sober' showcased a 'more rock-driven sound', a genre rarely heard from the group. The track includes 'lush guitars mixed with a pounding percussion' with a 'spunky delivery and [a] high-energy rock sound.'^[31] The following 'If You' is a ballad centered 'around sparse guitar strums, impassioned belts and haunting croons throughout the chorus.'^[31] 'Zutter' is hip-hop song with a trap-driven beat.^[22] The album ends with 'We Like 2 Party', a 'midtempo number with production that hits the midpoint between Steve Miller Band, One Direction, and Biz Markie', with a 'breezy' and relaxing melody.^[30][16]

Promotion[edit]

Big Bang hosted a live-broadcasting on Naver V-App on December 12, one hour before the release of the album, to celebrate the release of the first full-album in eight years with fans,^[32] which attract more than 1.5 million viewers.^[33] The members also appeared on two episodes of the talk show Radio Star, on Infinite Challenge and, lastly, on Weekly Idol to promote the album.^[34] They performed on SBS's end-of-year TV festival 2016 SBS Gayo Daejeon.^[35]

Critical reception[edit]

Made was chosen as one of the best Korean albums in 2016 by Billboard, with the magazine praising the diversity of genres within the album, saying that 'its value as a standalone piece of work is undeniable' and hailing Big Bang as 'one of the most universally loved acts on the scene.'^[17]Fuse's Jeff Benjamin described the album as 'career-exemplifying,' noting how it solidifies the group's artistry and personality.^[24]

Chester Chin from The Star called the album 'cohesive and strong' and claimed that Made would 'remind the K-pop audience on the fantastic musical geniuses who will elude them for the next few years.'^[27] The album was chosen as the best Korean album released in December by the music streaming service KKBOX, who called the record a 'strong return' and highlighted how 'Last Dance' makes the listeners fascinated.^[37]
