Made (stylized in all caps) is the third Korean-language studio album by South Korean boy band BigBang. The album was preceded by four single albums, each featuring two singles: M, A, D, and E, which were released from May to August 2015. Following more than a year of delays, the complete studio album was released on December 13, 2016. It marks the group's comeback after a three-year hiatus and their first full length Korean album since Remember (2008). The production of Made was primarily handled by G-Dragon and long-time group collaborator Teddy Park. Musically, the album employs hip hop, EDM, pop rock, R&B styles with lyrics examining expressions of doubt, worry, sexuality, and societal issues.

Made was received well by music critics, with Billboard naming it one of the 30 best boy band albums since 1990. Commercially, the album was a success in South Korea and other parts of Asia, selling over 250,000 copies in the group's native country and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for over 100,000 units in physical sales. The album charted at number one on the South Korean, and Japanese national albums charts.

Ten of the eleven tracks on Made were promoted as singles, all achieving commercial success in South Korea. Each single ranked within the top three positions on the Gaon Digital Chart and surpassed 1,000,000 digital downloads. Music videos were produced for each single, which were directed by Seo Hyun-seung and Han Sa-min. The album's singles won various accolades in both South Korea and abroad, with "Bang Bang Bang" and "Loser" winning Song of the Year at the MAMA Awards, Melon Music Awards and Golden Disc Awards in 2015.
