A representative of YG Entertainment had announced on 12th June. It was also revealed that members GDragon and TOP had done some of the compositions and lyrics making of the album.

“Due to the telecast of the Beijing Olympics during that period of time, many TV music broadcasting programs will not be aired. And it will be the time of the time where companies will avoid the releasing of new albums. But this time, Big Bang’s minialbum “Oh My Friend” will goes well with the Beijing Olympic theme, so we went ahead to schedule the release of the album in August.”

Many should have observed that there are no special featuring for all Big Bang albums so far, but this time, for “Oh My Friend“, member G-Dragon had specially met up with and is working with other singers for the songs in the album.

“G-Dragon and TOP had helped out a lot with the main producing. Out of the 6 tracks, GDragon did lyrics for 5, and TOP in one of the songs. Both of them also helped out with composing of the songs. Especially for TOP, who had been working in the recording studio for long period of time outside their heavy schedule on the album, we hope that fans will look forward to the new album.”
