"Bird" is a single released by South Korean–Chinese boy band Exo in 2019. It is the first song to be released as a six-member group.
"Bird" was the first single to be released as a six-member group after Xiumin and D.O. enlisted for their mandatory military service.[1] [2] The song was first released digitally on October 10, before it was released physically on November 4, commemorating their fourth anniversary since debuting in Japan. With a mid-tempo arrangement, the lyrics convey the members feeling with their fanbase.[3] [4]
The song was performed live in Exo's fifth world tour, Exo Planet 5 – Exploration during its Japanese stop in Fukuoka's Marine Messe Arena on October 11, and in Yokohama's Yokohama Arena on October 22 and October 23.[5]
