GOT7 have released a new single titled ‘Python’, alongside their 17th mini-album ‘Winter Heptagon’.
Today (January 20), GOT7 and Kakao Entertainment unveiled the new record alongside an accompanying music video for lead single ‘Python’ at 6pm KST. The septet’s new music comes just a few days shy of their 11th anniversary on January 16.
“I know I’m an icon /Watch me with the lights on / But she got a hold on me like a Python / I don’t wanna lose her / ‘Cause she was my future / Shot through the chest / I was fallin’ for the shooter,” they sing on the chorus. Thai member BamBam is credited on the song as a co-writer and producer.
Aside from ‘Python’, ‘Winter Heptagon’ introduces eight new tracks: ‘Smooth’, ‘A Youth Drama’, ‘I’ll Remember’, ‘Darling’, ‘Tidal Wave’, ‘Out The Door’, ‘her’ and ‘All we can say is’. All GOT7 members are individually credited as co-producers and -writers on various tracks off ‘Winter Heptagon’.
The boyband will be holding a two-night concert on February 1 and 2 called ‘Nestfest’ at Seoul’s Olympic Handball Gymnasium. The February 2 show will be livestreamed for international fans via BeyondLIVE.
GOT7’s return to music also marks the end to a three-year hiatus for group projects, with their last being the release of their eponymous mini-album. The record featured titled track ‘NANANA’, and was their first music release since they left JYP Entertainment.
Comprising members Jay B, Jinyoung, Jackson Wang, Mark Tuan, BamBam, Youngjae and Yugyeom, GOT7 first debuted in January 2014 with their first mini-album ‘Got It?’. The group went on to release hits like ‘Just Right’, ‘If You Do’ and more.
Madonna revealed that she saw her late mother "on the other side" while she was in a medically induced coma in 2023.
In a conversation on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast on Monday, the Queen of Pop explained that she was treated in intensive care and remained in a coma for two days after doctors discovered a "serious bacterial infection" that developed after a mild fever.
Thinking back to the health scare, Madonna shared that she experienced a vision of her mother, also named Madonna Ciccone, who lost her life to breast cancer in December 1963.
"I was almost there on the other side, and I had a conscious moment," she said. "My mother appeared to me, and she said, 'Do you want to come with me?' And I said, 'No.'"
She added that her assistant was present in the room and heard her say the word, "No."
"And then, when I did eventually wake up, I realised that the 'no' was about me needing to forgive and make good with people that I still held grudges against," the 67-year-old explained.
One of the long-standing conflicts she chose to release was her troubled relationship with her brother Christopher Ciccone.
The artist passed away from pancreatic cancer at 63 in October 2024.
"For my brother, I didn't speak to him for, you know, for years, years, and years. And it was him being ill (and) reaching out to me and saying, 'I need your help.' And me having that moment like, 'Am I going to help my enemy?' You know, that's how it felt. And I just did," the Ray of Light singer said. "And I ended up (helping) and I felt so relieved. And it was such a load off my back, such a weight that was removed, baggage that I could put down to finally be able to be in a room with him and holding his hand, even if he was dying and saying, 'I love you and I forgive you.' That was really important."
