BIGBANG nostalgia: G-Dragon's Home Sweet Home featuring group members Taeyang and Daesung takes fans down memory lane
G-Dragon’s Home Sweet Home, featuring Taeyang and Daesung, takes fans on a nostalgic journey, rekindling the iconic sound of BIGBANG as the trio reunites for the first time since 2022's Still Life!
G-Dragon has once again proven why he remains a legendary icon in K-Pop, uniting fans with his latest release, Home Sweet Home. The soulful track, which dropped on November 22 KST, carries a special significance as it features fellow BIGBANG members Taeyang and Daesung, marking their first collaboration since 2022’s Still Life. This nostalgic reunion has left fans worldwide reminiscing about the golden era of BIGBANG’s reign.
With a soft piano intro that transitions into a mid-tempo melody, Home Sweet Home feels like a warm embrace, a love letter to fans who have patiently awaited the group’s musical comeback. The lyrics reflect themes of gratitude and belonging, resonating deeply with VIPs (BIGBANG’s fandom), who immediately took to social media to express their joy.
Despite its surprise release and minimal promotion, the track quickly made its mark on the charts. On November 21, G-Dragon cryptically teased the release with a single image of three piano keys, sparking speculation about a BIGBANG reunion. This subtle nod to the trio’s return amplified anticipation, and when the song dropped, it felt like a long-lost treasure finally unearthed.

Fans and K-netizens alike were transported back to the early 2010s, a time when BIGBANG’s unique sound dominated the charts and hearts alike. Many remarked how the song’s heartfelt tone and harmonious blend of the members’ vocals evoked memories of BIGBANG classics like Blue and Haru Haru.
Although released under the new Friday 2 PM KST slot, a move aligned with global Billboard chart strategies but less advantageous for domestic rankings, the song defied the odds. Home Sweet Home swiftly entered Melon’s Top 100 chart and soared to third place, proving that BIGBANG’s allure remains undiminished.
As G-Dragon’s recent solo releases continue to reaffirm his legendary status, Home Sweet Home shines as a reminder of BIGBANG’s unparalleled influence in K-Pop. For fans, this isn’t just a song; it’s a nostalgic journey that reconnects them with the music and memories that define an era. With Taeyang and Daesung by his side, G-Dragon has truly brought BIGBANG home.
