The members of the group were promoted using various meanings (digital single, sub-unit activities and even MCing) and did so during many months prior to debut, getting them a lot of attention from the media. On January 8th, 2012, the first episode of their pre-debut reality show MTV “Ta-Dah! It’s B.A.P” aired, revealing the remaining three members to the public. Their first single “WARRIOR” was released on January 26th 2012 and they officially debuted on January 27th 2012 on KBS Music Bank, followed on the 28th by a huge showcase held at the Jangchung Gymnasium, where more than 3,000 fans attended. They secured their spot as rookies who brightly shined the 2012 music industry by sweeping the rookie awards for various end-of-the-year award ceremonies. On February 12th, 2014, B.A.P won their first public broadcast win, two years after debuting, at MBC Show Champion with their title song "1004 (Angel)". After 7 years together, B.A.P decided to disband in 2019.

B.A.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
차갑게 쳐다본 내 눈빛
낯선 느낌이 분명해
그게 뭔지 난 널 미친 듯 고민해
Woo 이게 아닌데 하루에도 몇 번이고
되묻고 속이고 다시 돌릴 수가 없어
슬픈 표정이 보이니 it's broken day
시간의 조각들이 tick tock tick tock
느려져만 가고 희미해지고 있어
널 잊은 듯 웃어도 no no no way
보이지가 않아
오늘도 내일도 이 밤의 끝을 기다려
Fermata 다시 돌아와
Fermata 나를 안아줘
Fermata fermata
Ooh 이 절망 끝엔 널 찾을 수 있을까
준비할 틈조차도 없이 떠나 버린 너
난 길을 잃어버려
That it's over 아파도 울지도 못해
Woo 이게 아닌데 하루에도 몇 번이고
되묻고 속이고 다시 돌릴 수가 없어
슬픈 표정이 보이니 it's broken day (yeah)
시간의 조각들이 tick tock tick tock
느려져만 가고 희미해지고 있어
널 잊은 듯 웃어도 no no no way
보이지가 않아
오늘도 내일도 이 밤의 끝을 기다려
Fermata 다시 돌아와
Fermata oh 나를 안아줘
Fermata fermata
Ooh 이 절망 끝엔 널 찾을 수 있을까
나를 감아도는 진한 향기
익숙하기만 해
어디에 있니 손을 뻗어 널 잡을 수 없어
널 향한 그리움이 run, run, run, run
다시 커져가고 끝이 보이지 않아
점점 더 부셔져 가 no, no, no way
어떻게 나 살아
오늘도 내일도 돌아오기만 기다려
Fermata 다시 돌아와
Fermata oh 나를 안아줘
Fermata fermata
Ooh 이 절망 끝엔 널 찾을 수 있을까
