BamBam Comes Home: Inside His First Thai Album ‘HOMETOWN’

When BamBam said he wanted his next chapter to feel personal, he meant it. Today, the GOT7 rapper-singer officially unveiled HOMETOWN, his first-ever Thai-language album, alongside the cinematic video for title track “WONDERING.” Framed as a love letter to his roots, the 5-track EP fuses sleek pop, R&B shimmer, and airy ambient textures while spotlighting Thailand’s current hit-makers—and even a global heavyweight on the boards. 

Why ‘HOMETOWN’ matters

This is BamBam fully centering Thailand—language, collaborators, and mood—after years of building a solo lane in Korea. He also took a hands-on role in writing and composing across the record, sharpening a sonic identity that’s both intimate and widescreen. 

Tracklist & collaborators

The EP gathers a tight cast:

• “ไม่มีใครสักคืน (Dancing By Myself)” featuring TIMETHAI

• “มากกว่า Friend (More Than Friend)” featuring Jeff Satur

• “WONDERING” (title track)

• “ไฟเขียว (Greenlight)” featuring INK WARUNTORN

• “Angel In Disguise,” produced by Pharrell Williams
  It’s a cohesive statement with distinct flavors—dance-floor melancholy, soft-focus R&B, and nocturnal pop—lifted by features that feel organic rather than opportunistic

The pre-release that set the tone

Ahead of the album, BamBam dropped “Dancing By Myself (feat. TIMETHAI)”, a moody, mid-tempo earworm that introduced the project’s introspective palette and Thai-first positioning. The single arrived in mid-September as the campaign’s opening salvo.

Title track: “WONDERING”

The “WONDERING” MV leans into dreamlike storytelling and cool, polished visuals—less bombast, more feeling. It extends the EP’s core theme: looking back to move forward, letting vulnerability sit next to swagger. 

Release details & formats

HOMETOWN released on October 10, 2025 (8 PM ICT per BamBam’s official announcement). Physicals include a regular EP and a limited Golden Ticket package—think photocard pulls and tour-adjacent keepsakes—catnip for collectors and a smart bridge between Thai promotions and global fandom demand. I

A quick track-by-track first listen

• Dancing By Myself (feat. TIMETHAI) – Silky hooks and late-night synths; BamBam lets the spaces between lines do the talking.

• More Than Friend (feat. Jeff Satur) – Flirtatious and radio-ready; Jeff’s airy timbre dovetails neatly with BamBam’s mellow phrasing. 

• WONDERING – The EP’s emotional center; a glide between reflection and resolve, carried by a feather-light top line. 

• Greenlight (feat. INK WARUNTORN) – Nu-disco sparkle with Thai pop DNA; the duet chemistry is effortless. 

• Angel In Disguise (prod. Pharrell Williams) – Minimalist drums and velvet bass; Pharrell’s fingerprint is subtle but unmistakable, giving BamBam room to emote. 

Business & culture angle

Strategically, HOMETOWN is a savvy cross-market play. By anchoring a Thai-language project with marquee Thai features and a Pharrell-produced closer, BamBam positions himself as a bilingual bridge between Thai pop’s current boom and the K-pop global machine. It’s not just a nod to where he’s from; it’s a thesis on where Southeast Asian pop can go next.
