"Ugh" should have been on this list. Not only speaking to the general uselessness, and potential harm, of internet dogpiling and keyboard warriors, but it also expresses sadness that an emotion like anger, which can be used for good and be a driving force for change, is being wasted.
I think it could have been had they been including solos/subunits, but they were only focusing on OT7 songs. I am kind of curious as to what a Top 20 list of songs that tackle serious issues would look like if OT7, Solo, and Subunit songs were included. That would be interesting to see.
I am an 83 year old woman that was so sad. There was no new music....John, Prince, Michael, ToM, so many gone.....Discovering BTS was SO wonderful for me I love them so much.....haven't even heard the old stuff.....just some of it. Listen to the Busan concert almost every night. I have been a musician all my life, classically trained and don't tell me I don't know good when I hear it. I so appreciate the time they spend practicing their craft. I AM ARMY!!They have made me happy!!!!!
Great video. I think you should make part 2. My recommendations for part 2: Epiphany The truth untold Love myself answer 0'o clock Lost Tomorrow 134340
Thank you for recognizing that BTS is much more than just a pretty boy band, for digging deeper into the meanings of their songs and for making your subscribers aware of this. 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm so glad I decided to listen to BTS bc I thought that's all they were, just pretty industry plant boys. I just hope that the stigma around K-Pop where I live changes. People will bully you if you listen to it
@@boop99 The key to surviving bullying when listening and stanning BTS is to be Bulletproof yourself. Show that no matter what the bullies say or do, you will never stop liking BTS. I know how much you would want to brag about them or change haters’ minds, but trust me, you’ll be happier being a quiet ARMY and save your energy for your fellow ARMYs. Good Luck! BORAHAE!
@@KitkatNSYHJTJ It's just so discouraging when it's my family, who should support me the most, that isolate me for liking what I like. 😔 Thank you for the advice. 💜💜💜
@@boop99 Oh that’s sad. But I can relate. What I did was not to involve anyone in my stanning who doesn’t care. It’s my “me” time which everyone needs anyway. But you have to continue to be involved in your family affairs. Do not isolate yourself because of BTS because that will make your family see BTS as a bad thing. That’s what we dont want to happen. So protect your ARMYship and BTS. Your family should come first, even BTS says that to us. Then you may do your thing and they do theirs. That way you will have no expectations, hence, less frustrations. And sometimes, because I am just quietly stanning, the people around me are the ones who get curious, so without me imposing, I take that curiosity as an opportunity to brag about the boys.
This is a slap on the haters faces that have said that BTS's lyrics mean nothing and it's all gibberish. Only real ARMYs know that each BTS song means something.
Gibberish and bts are not in the same room. I would even say their songs, lyrical are one of their power that make them so different, the raw that came from their emotions as human beings, seing them that they are really passionate in arts not just music that make them great artists.
Most people don't realize that most BTS songs have themes of socio-political themes, well-being, and personal hopes & fears. I always encourage people to see them beyond looks and performances and read good translations of their lyrics 💜
I am a 50 year old Woman in Wisconsin with a 9 year old Daughter. I have been a BTS ARMY for so many years as well as my Daughter. I work in Mental Health and their lyrics and messages are so real! 💜They are amazing and sending such positive messages❤💜
BTS's lyrics are more than just songs, they are anthems of empowerment that reflect the common human experience and serve as a constant reminder of the eternal ability of music to heal, inspire, and bring people together. Great top 10! i didn't expect to see SEA here!! one of my fav songs!!
I used to be a bts hater, like a really HARDCORE hater and always felt annoyed whenever BTS’ music are on or if they are performing at american award shows. Wondering out of all of K-pop artists, why BTS got the recognition. But then, I do some research about them and their music and I came across their meaningful lyrics that really help me through the difficulties in my life. Literally there are no other artists. And K-POP artists that would make music that actually tackles serious issues. Most artists will sing about their own hardships and heartbreaks and that’s it. They just sing about them, not about how we all can relate to, just a few lyrics but not overall. Musicians just goes on making music about love, flexing and diss tracks. Like it’s literally the same meaning and topic for all of their songs but just using different words. RIght now, it is reported that K-Pop artists are starting to make meaningful songs after BTS domination, that just shows how fearless was BTS for taking a huge risks to make songs that tackle serious issues before this was a thing. BTS’ music have different meanings for every song, if haven’t heard their songs or read their lyrics.There are some similar topics that they talked about in few of their songs, but the situation is always different, and we as listeners, will always relate to what they talked about. So if you’re a BTS hater, I think you should check out their music before judging too fast. And if you have fallen in love with their music, don’t hesitate to call yourself an ARMY. The armys that are annoying and toxic on social media, we don’t claim them to be REAL ARMYS, so don’t worry you won’t be like those annoying and toxic people. You can also check out their other songs that didn’t make it on the list, there are just so many that are meaningful that literally dated since their debut. Oh and check out their members’ solo songs too. There are meaningful as well. Most songs are written at least by one BTS member, so yes they sing songs that tackle serious issues and also written it from their own experience or other’s experience that they want to voice out. APO BANGPO 😊
I initially liked them because they were talented and their songs were catchy. Then I started looking into the meaning of their lyrics and *that's* when I became ARMY. They are different; they are one of a kind.
Knew our eternal Queen Spring Day would be number one! Thank you so much for this video. Thanks to our Bangtan boys for being the brilliant artists and humans that they are
“Sea” getting the honorable mention recognition it deserves! 🌊 👏🏽 ❤ And my god, just the first note of Spring Day and I’m drowning in my own tears. This is why I love BTS so much!
I was literally about to comment this! It's a video about the lyrics yet the viewer can't read what they actually are. It would definitely be more impactful if the lyrics were displayed.
lol...missed opportunity to use the Spine Breaker music video... or at least Jin's iconic choreo. Also...it probably would have been useful to add lyric translations.
If you guys haven't heard it yet, check out the Spring Day cover by Song So Hee (from the Immortal Songs show on KBS). It's amazing. Colde's cover of DNA is also amazing, didn't know I needed a chill lounge jazzy funkish version of DNA before hearing it. Also check out Tribe Loui's BTS reactions, he's one of the most genuine ones I've seen in a while. He got into them like a few months ago and fell way deep lol. Entertaining, open minded, sporting, and perceptive - he just "gets" BTS if you know what I mean.
I'm going through a rough period as a young adult and I recently decided to try listening to BTS Only a few weeks ago I had no idea that they worked so hard to make it where they are today, nor that they even make their own music. I'm so glad I gave them a chance. Songs like "Not Today," "Spring Day," and even bangers like "Dope" are really helping me stay motivated and work hard
i found BTS when i was struggling hard with myself and it's been years and they're still so extremely close to my heart. their music and smiles got me through much. please feel free to ask me if you need any help with anything. hope you have a lovely lovely time discovering them
Hope you have fun with exploring their group/solo music (there is so much and even just the last year we got soooo much music lol) and just take ur time, watch their content, interviews, shows etc. Like it's a fun, healing and joyous time and they r just very talented individuals and very humble, kindhearted people
@@g100-w6j It's been super fun so far 💜I'm just struggling to pick a bias lol When I listen to the music Suga gets me pumped, but when I watch performances, Jimin catches my eye
Ah the algorithm isn't algorithming, this deserves so many more views, for those curious about BTS and having only heard the recent English songs that were released to cheer up ARMY during COVID while also providing a stop-gap while they tried to figure out their military haitus schedule this can be an interesting primer. They have hundreds of songs, across many genres and topics, if you are open, please give them a try with an open mind. You won't be disappointed. Thank you for putting this together, while I knew the beautiful queen Spring Day would be at the top, Am I Wrong? will forever be that song for me, followed by Baepsae. Am I wrong choreography tells the story that the lyrics were only allowed to touch on and they only got to perform it, I think two times (?)
Excellent! - We can always count on MsMojo when it comes to BTS. Always comprehensive and well thought out. Of course, like all the other the list, this could have been a Top 20 BTS Songs That Tackle Serious Issues (Tomorrow, Paradise, So What, just to name a few, solo songs aside.) Thanks!
love this! "Paradise" is the song that speaks to me the most. In simple terms, the song states that it's okay to not have a dream. You should enjoy the little things in life and not pressure yourself too much by holding the future to such a high regard. You should also be sure to differentiate between your true aspirations and expectations about what your aspirations should be. I remind myself of this message all the time and it really grounds me. "It’s okay to pause We now don’t run without knowing the purpose It’s okay not to have a dream Every breath you exhale is already in paradise"
A bit of a shame you didn't include the lyric translations as subtitles in the video. I cannot stress enough how important the reading and understand of lyrics is in bts songs. Not only do they constantly tackle social issues and psychological analysis, they also use intricate poetic language, often cross-referencing certain analogies and symbols across multiple songs and eras of their discography. Admittedly, it's difficult to capture the brilliant songwriting in a translation, but there's countless great army translators in the fandom who try their best to offer context for better understanding for non korean speakers.
bts found me when i needed them the most. 5 years ago, just before i lost 4 family members in a 4 months period. Ive worked on myself durning that time, using bts as my guide. Last year i lost my husband of 30 years and it almost destroyed me. (Im about to be 51 next month) But they bring me back time & time again. 4:12 I love zero o'clock. I think about the meaning when i lie in bed at night as i listen and struggle to sleep. They calm me because each day is a new day with endless possibilities. 💜 6:50 i feel that blue and grey is similar to zero o'clock in the way it calms me. Taes voice is awesome in that 13:30 Spring day is of course the queen. Also helps with my family tragedies and grief. I think another inspiring song is love myself. I think its a good message and helps me daily. Telling us to better ourselves/ love ourselves & better the world / love your fellow human is what we need right now 💜💜💜
I'm sorry to hear about you losing your loved ones. I also lost three family members just this year from respective causes. BTS has also helped me stay strong and keep going
the theory about spring day could explain the incredible success the song has had. the song has earned the award for song of the year in one of south korea's biggest award shows and it is undeniably a great song. but with this added meaning, it would explain why the song has not left the top100 of one of the most important charts in south korea and it is currently the longest charting song on the top100 EVER in the country. and it always rises whenever bts realease new music.
BTS found me when I was about to take my life, now I can't even remember how was life before them, they've filled my life with so much joy and I've become a better person since. Their inspiring lyrics are not only so relatable but they also encourage you to self reflection and take actions about a lot of stuff. Thank you for this video!
Their lyrics were what truly first got me into BTS. I absolutely love when they talk about their personal journey through growth & struggles to which i can really relate to a lot. 2 years as a casual listener & 6 years as a fan. Still going strong for more years to come :) Songs that also deserve special mentions: Born Singer, Tomorrow, Jump, Could You Turn Off Your Cellphone?, Dope, Intro: Never Mind, Butterfly, Moving On, Epilogue: Young Forever, Fire, Lost, Outro: Wings, Not Today, A Supplementary Story: You Never Walk Alone, Go Go, Outro: Her, Paradise, Magic Shop, Anpanman, So What, Idol, Answer: Love Myself, Mikrokosmos, Dionysus, ON, UGH!, Dis-ease, Yet To Come, Run BTS, & a lot of their solo music
imagine my dumb a** skipped BTS just because I don't speak Korean. I'm glad I gave them a chance. It's a precious experience. My world is much broader now.
This is why I love BTS. Many of their songs are about actual real life issues. Not every song needs to be a love song. With all of the topics one could sing about, why does it need to be about love 95% of the time? Funny, 'Spring Day' is one of my favourite songs. I had no idea what it was about. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I never thought I would see the day that Mojo would cover Bangtan songs like this, this is so amazing to see especially when their lyricism is so beautiful and intricate.
Back then I used to think BTS was your typical boy band which only got popular because of good looks but I WAS SO WRONG I started listening to them in 2018-2019 and became a fan of theirs. During the pandemic their music was like free therapy for me specially their song "life goes on" really arrived when I needed it the most, also I was surprised when they released Dynamite, Butter and Permission to Dance, they are really versatile and of course those three songs made me really happy haha just watching the mvs made me smile. I consider them more than K-pop, it's impossible for me to see them as "k-pop" when they do so many genres and are genuine/passionate with their music. :)
I've been ARMY for just under 2 years, and it never fails a song will fly under the radar until I am in a vulnerable place. The lyrics will unveil themselves and be EXACTLY what I need at that moment 💜
Have you seen Tribe Loui's BTS reaction videos? Probably the most genuine reactor I've seen in a while. He got into them like 6 months ago and fell super deep lol. He's creative, entertaining and thorough. His vids are especially good for newer Army cause he pulls up the lesser known gems often.
I've never resonated with music as much as BTS music. I was at my lowest point when I heard their music and when I hit my lowest point again, I put their music. I appreciate how open they are and I'm so grateful I was able to get out of those dark places. I appreciate them so much!
I could never in a million years rank BTS songs so shout out to whoever had to take on this task lol. It must have been hard. There are soooo many songs in their discography even when you remove solo songs and subunit songs as contenders. I didn't know how you could possibly have picked a #1 but Spring Day is the Queen so that was a good choice that no one will dispute.
I’ve listen to many artist but BTS is the only artist that I would stan. The songs lyrics resonate the most to me and they as individuals too are amazing person.
BTS literally saved me during the pandemic, as I lived alone and worked in a hospital, I couldn't take it anymore because of so much anguish, I continued bc I wanted to hear their come back album
53 yr old long time ARMY here. Thank you for this top 10, delving a little deeper into the often profound meaning BTS's songs have. Spring Day holding the top spot is absolutely perfect. I didn't expect to cry during a top 10, but here we are. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This takes me back to the HYYH, Wings, and You Never Walk Alone. As a high schooler myself during that era, listening to the meanings and snippets of the song really reminded me how BTS guided me through young adulthood when everything seems confusing back then. Doesn't help that Kpop in general was still not as mainstream back then, so that piles on the loneliness I felt during that period. They really gave me comfort back then. 👍🏼
It's a informative great video but I think you should've put some english lyrics and translation so we can really see what the song is talking about. Not just the woman explaining with her voice. 🤔
People often associate BTS with regular K-pop. The truth is BTS is beyond K-pop & they revolutionized K-pop with their music and made it to mainstream.
The entire BE album helped me wade through my grief after losing my mother at the end of 2019 and then being forced to work from home while grieving. I will forever credit BTS for saving me during the lowest point of my life and I am proud to be an ARMY.
I hope things are better for you now. Although I'm sure it's still difficult. I'm very close to my mom and I don't even like to think about the day when she's no longer here. I'm glad BTS music has helped you. Borahae.
And this is why I love BTS and their music so much. Yes they have a lot of fun songs, but they aren't afraid to tackle subject matter that isn't pleasant but that people of all backgrounds can relate to. BTS music has helped me in my most darkest moments and I can't wait to see them back together in 2025. Wishing nothing but the best for their solo endeavors and mandatory military service.
Thank you for your thoughtfully curated presentation of just a sample of BTS's music! In general, this is such a good representation of songs in their discography and I love the fact that the general public may be hearing these songs for the first time. Not only did the list showcase the depth of BTS song lyrics, it also clearly showed the group's broad musical range.
Thank you for making this. For me it is Spring Day. The song never left Korean chart since 2017. One song but covers so many issues, from tragic incident to mental health.
BTS are the reason why I got into K-pop I saw them in 2022 in Vegas and their show that they did was so amazing. I love singing to their songs, and I covered a few of them on my channel Honestly you know they always know how to entertain their fans and look out for them and care for them as a family I got into them in 2020 after my break up with my second boyfriend and it was a really hard thanks to them they helped me get through it and they are the heroes that I look up to. I want to meet them someday and thank them and give them a hug for being who they are and for helping me I know that they help armies out there with disabilities and I am so thankful for that. I love you BTS.
honestly their music is just so healing . my favorite song of theirs is paradise , i can relate to it’s meaning and it fills a void inside me when i feel down and the world is falling apart . bts are such amazing artists , i hate that i don’t listen to them as much anymore and i miss them a lot !! waiting for 2025 😭😭💗💗💗
I really think this is what truly separates BTS from other artists, especially other Korean ones. Not to say that others don't attempt to tackle serious topics, but I feel like the way BTS has done it time and time again, from the beginning of their career, really speaks about who they are as artists.
Yes thank you! Other artists work hard but BTS work harder. I’ve nearly finished the book and can’t believe everything they’ve been through, not to mention V’s confession on Suga’s show.
I think it s also the balance of hope. There are a number of artists who I like due to their lyrics, but where most artists fall short is that their relatable lyrics make you feel worse. Validation without comfort and hope. BTS is validation with comfort, hope and sometimes a battle cry to not give up. I'm an emo from way back, BTS do it like no other.
Thank you for highlighting the artistry and relevance of BTS's lyrical content. Personally, I draw a great deal of comfort, insight, and strength from their music. I would add 'MIC Drop,' 'UGH!' and 'Everythingoes,' to your list.
Yes that's right and they continue to do it in there solo work as well. They're just very talented and versatile musicians like they r just too good at their craft
For this topic this easily could be a top 50 since BTS tackled important issues throughout their discography of 10 years. Top 3 was spotted on, but I feel “UGH!” Is missing from this top 10. A very deep dive into what anger has become and how we are watering down the important feeling of anger wasting it instead of using it to make important changes.
Thank you for making this video. I found BTS when I was 16 and now I'm 24, their songs have been a constant in my life - they saved me with their words. "Even the scars from your mistakes make up you constellation" - Answer: Love Myself
I appreciate this video so much. When I started reading the translations of BTS's songs, it made me appreciate them so much more, and made them my favorite artists.
TOMORROW should also be in the list. This song helped me get through a time when I felt my hard work was going in vain and nothing was in my hand. This song held me and helped me get through that difficult moment. Thank you BTS for this masterpiece💜
All the songs in the list are spot-on. There are other songs too but I guess it's just too many to be included as they have dedicated their journey since 2013 to talk about many sensitive issues. For me, I love MIC DROP. The song is abt ppl doubting BTS & throwing horrible words or accusations at them but in the end, BTS shut their mouth when they succeeded through genuine hard work and perseverance. Anyone can related to this too when people look down on us and it is the revenge that keeps us going.
This video is cool and informative 👍, but I think you should have put the english lyrics when they are singing so that people can really understand. :) Just the woman speaking and explaining is a little vague imo. just my opinion. There's no much effort on that part 👎
I missed BTS so much now. I love them forever for being the inspiration to tell stories through whatever means you have, thank you bts and thank you for this video.
I love the validation that the West, location of the biggest music industry gives ‘7 ordinary boys from Korea’. Description of Whalien made me tear up. It’s their story, their message that makes them remarkable to me and impactful in this broken world.
What people fail to understand is that bts is not your regular K-pop group they are manifestation of what society goes through and what every individual experience hardship. They collectively bring everyone together
I’m always fascinated by BTS music aside from their own beautiful and amazing and wonderful beings~ Thank you for this video and the effort put through it~ ✨🌸🧿🌷🪷 I believe I fell in love again~ Borahae BTS 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
BTS won my heart through their deep meaningful lyrics. They’ve helped me through many hard times. They use their platform and music to spread kindness. Proud to be an ARMY 💜
"Ugh" should have been on this list. Not only speaking to the general uselessness, and potential harm, of internet dogpiling and keyboard warriors, but it also expresses sadness that an emotion like anger, which can be used for good and be a driving force for change, is being wasted.
I feel like they'd need a top 100 list cause there are so many left off this list!
I do Agree
Agree
I think it could have been had they been including solos/subunits, but they were only focusing on OT7 songs. I am kind of curious as to what a Top 20 list of songs that tackle serious issues would look like if OT7, Solo, and Subunit songs were included. That would be interesting to see.
@tase8723 I mean... zero o'clock is a sub unit song...
I am an 83 year old woman that was so sad. There was no new music....John, Prince, Michael, ToM, so many gone.....Discovering BTS was SO wonderful for me
I love them so much.....haven't even heard the old stuff.....just some of it. Listen to the Busan concert almost every night. I have been a musician all my life, classically trained and don't tell me I don't know good when I hear it. I so appreciate the time they spend practicing their craft. I AM ARMY!!They have made me happy!!!!!
Love seeing people of all ages enjoying BTS' music. I hope you will get the chance to check out some of their older music.
Spring Day is the first song I heard when my friend recommended BTS. I'm a fan ever since, and Spring Day will always be my favorite.
Great video. I think you should make part 2.

BTS is so huge, and yet still underrated.
Exactly!

You should really include the lyric translations (with credits to the translators) for these songs. The message doesn't hit the same without that.

There's Young forever, Magic Shop, Tear, 134340, Shadow, the entire Mono album. With BTS the list just never ends 💜

The only choreo that every ARMY regardless her dancing abilities can do

Hope you have fun with exploring their group/solo music (there is so much and even just the last year we got soooo much music lol) and just take ur time, watch their content, interviews, shows etc. Like it's a fun, healing and joyous time and they r just very talented individuals and very humble, kindhearted people
@@g100-w6j It's been super fun so far 💜I'm just struggling to pick a bias lol
When I listen to the music Suga gets me pumped, but when I watch performances, Jimin catches my eye
@@boop99Join us ot7 biases who can't pick just a single one 😂
Ah the algorithm isn't algorithming, this deserves so many more views, for those curious about BTS and having only heard the recent English songs that were released to cheer up ARMY during COVID while also providing a stop-gap while they tried to figure out their military haitus schedule this can be an interesting primer. They have hundreds of songs, across many genres and topics, if you are open, please give them a try with an open mind. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you for putting this together, while I knew the beautiful queen Spring Day would be at the top, Am I Wrong? will forever be that song for me, followed by Baepsae. Am I wrong choreography tells the story that the lyrics were only allowed to touch on and they only got to perform it, I think two times (?)
Excellent! - We can always count on MsMojo when it comes to BTS. Always comprehensive and well thought out. Of course, like all the other the list, this could have been a Top 20 BTS Songs That Tackle Serious Issues (Tomorrow, Paradise, So What, just to name a few, solo songs aside.) Thanks!
yessss, there are so many 💜
I didn’t think I’d cry when I clicked into this but my gawd it struck a chord in me. ❤😢 this is why I love them so much
Okay I thought it was only me😭😭💜💜
love this! "Paradise" is the song that speaks to me the most. In simple terms, the song states that it's okay to not have a dream. You should enjoy the little things in life and not pressure yourself too much by holding the future to such a high regard. You should also be sure to differentiate between your true aspirations and expectations about what your aspirations should be. I remind myself of this message all the time and it really grounds me.
"It’s okay to pause
We now don’t run without knowing the purpose
It’s okay not to have a dream
Every breath you exhale is already in paradise"
A bit of a shame you didn't include the lyric translations as subtitles in the video. I cannot stress enough how important the reading and understand of lyrics is in bts songs. Not only do they constantly tackle social issues and psychological analysis, they also use intricate poetic language, often cross-referencing certain analogies and symbols across multiple songs and eras of their discography. Admittedly, it's difficult to capture the brilliant songwriting in a translation, but there's countless great army translators in the fandom who try their best to offer context for better understanding for non korean speakers.
Agree
bts found me when i needed them the most. 5 years ago, just before i lost 4 family members in a 4 months period. Ive worked on myself durning that time, using bts as my guide. Last year i lost my husband of 30 years and it almost destroyed me. (Im about to be 51 next month) But they bring me back time & time again.
4:12 I love zero o'clock. I think about the meaning when i lie in bed at night as i listen and struggle to sleep. They calm me because each day is a new day with endless possibilities. 💜
6:50 i feel that blue and grey is similar to zero o'clock in the way it calms me. Taes voice is awesome in that
13:30 Spring day is of course the queen. Also helps with my family tragedies and grief.
I think another inspiring song is love myself. I think its a good message and helps me daily. Telling us to better ourselves/ love ourselves & better the world / love your fellow human is what we need right now
💜💜💜
I'm sorry to hear about you losing your loved ones. I also lost three family members just this year from respective causes. BTS has also helped me stay strong and keep going
Hope you find peace and I wish only good things for you truly 🫂🫂
'butterfly' deserved honorable mention, the song that saved me from my sad past,
the theory about spring day could explain the incredible success the song has had. the song has earned the award for song of the year in one of south korea's biggest award shows and it is undeniably a great song. but with this added meaning, it would explain why the song has not left the top100 of one of the most important charts in south korea and it is currently the longest charting song on the top100 EVER in the country. and it always rises whenever bts realease new music.
BTS found me when I was about to take my life, now I can't even remember how was life before them, they've filled my life with so much joy and I've become a better person since. Their inspiring lyrics are not only so relatable but they also encourage you to self reflection and take actions about a lot of stuff.
Thank you for this video!

Their lyrics were what truly first got me into BTS. I absolutely love when they talk about their personal journey through growth & struggles to which i can really relate to a lot. 2 years as a casual listener & 6 years as a fan. Still going strong for more years to come :)
Songs that also deserve special mentions:
Born Singer, Tomorrow, Jump, Could You Turn Off Your Cellphone?, Dope, Intro: Never Mind, Butterfly, Moving On, Epilogue: Young Forever, Fire, Lost, Outro: Wings, Not Today, A Supplementary Story: You Never Walk Alone, Go Go, Outro: Her, Paradise, Magic Shop, Anpanman, So What, Idol, Answer: Love Myself, Mikrokosmos, Dionysus, ON, UGH!, Dis-ease, Yet To Come, Run BTS, & a lot of their solo music
imagine my dumb a** skipped BTS just because I don't speak Korean. I'm glad I gave them a chance. It's a precious experience. My world is much broader now.
Good video but should've put the song lyrics for better understanding
please consider allowing us/an ARMY to add subtitles/translations to the song lyrics!
This is why I love BTS.
Many of their songs are about actual real life issues.
Not every song needs to be a love song.
With all of the topics one could sing about,
why does it need to be about love 95% of the time?
Funny, 'Spring Day' is one of my favourite songs.
I had no idea what it was about.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Whalien 52, zero o'clock, spine breaker, and spring day
Black swan is my favorite
I wish pluto/134340, so what, and lights were included
I never thought I would see the day that Mojo would cover Bangtan songs like this, this is so amazing to see especially when their lyricism is so beautiful and intricate.
Back then I used to think BTS was your typical boy band which only got popular because of good looks but I WAS SO WRONG I started listening to them in 2018-2019 and became a fan of theirs. During the pandemic their music was like free therapy for me specially their song "life goes on" really arrived when I needed it the most, also I was surprised when they released Dynamite, Butter and Permission to Dance, they are really versatile and of course those three songs made me really happy haha just watching the mvs made me smile. I consider them more than K-pop, it's impossible for me to see them as "k-pop" when they do so many genres and are genuine/passionate with their music. :)
I've been ARMY for just under 2 years, and it never fails a song will fly under the radar until I am in a vulnerable place. The lyrics will unveil themselves and be EXACTLY what I need at that moment 💜
Have you seen Tribe Loui's BTS reaction videos? Probably the most genuine reactor I've seen in a while. He got into them like 6 months ago and fell super deep lol. He's creative, entertaining and thorough. His vids are especially good for newer Army cause he pulls up the lesser known gems often.
I've never resonated with music as much as BTS music. I was at my lowest point when I heard their music and when I hit my lowest point again, I put their music. I appreciate how open they are and I'm so grateful I was able to get out of those dark places. I appreciate them so much!
I could never in a million years rank BTS songs so shout out to whoever had to take on this task lol. It must have been hard. There are soooo many songs in their discography even when you remove solo songs and subunit songs as contenders. I didn't know how you could possibly have picked a #1 but Spring Day is the Queen so that was a good choice that no one will dispute.
I’ve listen to many artist but BTS is the only artist that I would stan. The songs lyrics resonate the most to me and they as individuals too are amazing person.
BTS literally saved me during the pandemic, as I lived alone and worked in a hospital, I couldn't take it anymore because of so much anguish, I continued bc I wanted to hear their come back album
13:49 They kinda did. Jin said in an interview that it was related to a national tragedy.
53 yr old long time ARMY here. Thank you for this top 10, delving a little deeper into the often profound meaning BTS's songs have. Spring Day holding the top spot is absolutely perfect. I didn't expect to cry during a top 10, but here we are. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Only BTS in Kpop who have a gut to criticize the society.
The Queen became No. 1! As it should. Thank you for the list! Borahae 💜
This video needs more views and every kpop fans needs to see this
This takes me back to the HYYH, Wings, and You Never Walk Alone. As a high schooler myself during that era, listening to the meanings and snippets of the song really reminded me how BTS guided me through young adulthood when everything seems confusing back then. Doesn't help that Kpop in general was still not as mainstream back then, so that piles on the loneliness I felt during that period. They really gave me comfort back then. 👍🏼
It's a informative great video but I think you should've put some english lyrics and translation so we can really see what the song is talking about. Not just the woman explaining with her voice. 🤔
I was waiting for UGH!
Others are important too but it was my first through with this anti aggression message
People often associate BTS with regular K-pop. The truth is BTS is beyond K-pop & they revolutionized K-pop with their music and made it to mainstream.
The entire BE album helped me wade through my grief after losing my mother at the end of 2019 and then being forced to work from home while grieving. I will forever credit BTS for saving me during the lowest point of my life and I am proud to be an ARMY.
I hope things are better for you now. Although I'm sure it's still difficult. I'm very close to my mom and I don't even like to think about the day when she's no longer here. I'm glad BTS music has helped you. Borahae.
Sorry for your loss 💜
I love BE
Black Swan is one of the BTS songs that I never get tired of and could listen to for hours. This song has a special place in my heart. 🖤💜
And this is why I love BTS and their music so much. Yes they have a lot of fun songs, but they aren't afraid to tackle subject matter that isn't pleasant but that people of all backgrounds can relate to. BTS music has helped me in my most darkest moments and I can't wait to see them back together in 2025. Wishing nothing but the best for their solo endeavors and mandatory military service.
idk but I think it would have been better if they added the english translation of the lyrics they are singing so people can understand it better
BTS has more than 10 songs that tackle issues that we face in real life ❤
Excellent video but I hope the lyrics were subbed so non fans will have greater context, lyrics for BTS and Armys is everything 😊
Black Swan is possibly the saddest, deepest, yet most compelling song. Masterpiece.
Bts has implied to the sewol ferry in their esquire interview 2020.
Good list. I would add Butterfly, Dope, and I'm Fine. Also Ugh and Tear. (My first thought on seeing the title was 'Only 10?'
Thank you for your thoughtfully curated presentation of just a sample of BTS's music! In general, this is such a good representation of songs in their discography and I love the fact that the general public may be hearing these songs for the first time. Not only did the list showcase the depth of BTS song lyrics, it also clearly showed the group's broad musical range.
Thank you for making this. For me it is Spring Day. The song never left Korean chart since 2017. One song but covers so many issues, from tragic incident to mental health.
BTS are the reason why I got into K-pop I saw them in 2022 in Vegas and their show that they did was so amazing. I love singing to their songs, and I covered a few of them on my channel Honestly you know they always know how to entertain their fans and look out for them and care for them as a family I got into them in 2020 after my break up with my second boyfriend and it was a really hard thanks to them they helped me get through it and they are the heroes that I look up to. I want to meet them someday and thank them and give them a hug for being who they are and for helping me I know that they help armies out there with disabilities and I am so thankful for that. I love you BTS.
You don't need to learn language to get a message. These songs define it ❤
honestly their music is just so healing . my favorite song of theirs is paradise , i can relate to it’s meaning and it fills a void inside me when i feel down and the world is falling apart . bts are such amazing artists , i hate that i don’t listen to them as much anymore and i miss them a lot !! waiting for 2025 😭😭💗💗💗
I knew spring day will be the first...the queen❤
I really think this is what truly separates BTS from other artists, especially other Korean ones. Not to say that others don't attempt to tackle serious topics, but I feel like the way BTS has done it time and time again, from the beginning of their career, really speaks about who they are as artists.
Yes thank you! Other artists work hard but BTS work harder. I’ve nearly finished the book and can’t believe everything they’ve been through, not to mention V’s confession on Suga’s show.
I think it s also the balance of hope. There are a number of artists who I like due to their lyrics, but where most artists fall short is that their relatable lyrics make you feel worse. Validation without comfort and hope. BTS is validation with comfort, hope and sometimes a battle cry to not give up. I'm an emo from way back, BTS do it like no other.
Thank you for highlighting the artistry and relevance of BTS's lyrical content. Personally, I draw a great deal of comfort, insight, and strength from their music. I would add 'MIC Drop,' 'UGH!' and 'Everythingoes,' to your list.
Yes that's right and they continue to do it in there solo work as well. They're just very talented and versatile musicians like they r just too good at their craft
For this topic this easily could be a top 50 since BTS tackled important issues throughout their discography of 10 years.
Top 3 was spotted on, but I feel “UGH!” Is missing from this top 10. A very deep dive into what anger has become and how we are watering down the important feeling of anger wasting it instead of using it to make important changes.
I actually can't listen to Spring Day, it makes me cry every time.
Great video and work, I appreciate the time and effort you put into understanding their songs so much!
Could not have been explained better :)
Glad you liked it!
Good gods these men are musical geniuses. The music is beautiful.
BTS Discography is ARTISTIC EXPRESSION itself.
Thank you for making this video. I found BTS when I was 16 and now I'm 24, their songs have been a constant in my life - they saved me with their words.
"Even the scars from your mistakes make up you constellation" - Answer: Love Myself
I appreciate this video so much. When I started reading the translations of BTS's songs, it made me appreciate them so much more, and made them my favorite artists.
Epiphany by Jin made me Army and changed my mindset for the better and forever 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you BTS rapline
BTS saved me in 2021. I would not have been here if I did not found them. Their songs gave me a lot of hope, strenght, courage and love.
sad that “magic shop” didn't make it to the list. it was the song that saved me when i was suicidal and was overwhelmed with depression.
TOMORROW should also be in the list. This song helped me get through a time when I felt my hard work was going in vain and nothing was in my hand. This song held me and helped me get through that difficult moment. Thank you BTS for this masterpiece💜
I think that Not Today should have made the list, but these are great picks!
Spring day our queen will ways be on top
Still listen to "silver spoon" going to work!! Plus its my ringtone!! Makes my day easier!!
All the songs in the list are spot-on. There are other songs too but I guess it's just too many to be included as they have dedicated their journey since 2013 to talk about many sensitive issues.
For me, I love MIC DROP. The song is abt ppl doubting BTS & throwing horrible words or accusations at them but in the end, BTS shut their mouth when they succeeded through genuine hard work and perseverance. Anyone can related to this too when people look down on us and it is the revenge that keeps us going.
Great video
This video is cool and informative 👍, but I think you should have put the english lyrics when they are singing so that people can really understand. :) Just the woman speaking and explaining is a little vague imo. just my opinion. There's no much effort on that part 👎
I missed BTS so much now. I love them forever for being the inspiration to tell stories through whatever means you have, thank you bts and thank you for this video.
I love the validation that the West, location of the biggest music industry gives ‘7 ordinary boys from Korea’. Description of Whalien made me tear up.
It’s their story, their message that makes them remarkable to me and impactful in this broken world.
Thought ARMYS didn't need validation...?
@@EverRoxasYou're always in BTS related videos yet you aren't a fan.
BTS has actually officially confirmed the connection of Spring day to sewol ferry tragedy in 2020 during Jins weverse interview💜
What people fail to understand is that bts is not your regular K-pop group they are manifestation of what society goes through and what every individual experience hardship. They collectively bring everyone together
why play BTS singing without providing translation?
im really moved with how researched and vulnerable this video studies the deep and dynamic lyricism of BTS, thank you for this
Tysm! please add lyric translations for the songs part that were used in the video, if possible.
I’m always fascinated by BTS music aside from their own beautiful and amazing and wonderful beings~
Thank you for this video and the effort put through it~ ✨🌸🧿🌷🪷
I believe I fell in love again~
Borahae BTS 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I thought Paldogangsan and Go Go would be on there for sure!
I think one song missing in this list is Butterfly
If Spring Day isn’t number 1, imma flip a table (still in the middle of the video)
BTS won my heart through their deep meaningful lyrics. They’ve helped me through many hard times. They use their platform and music to spread kindness. Proud to be an ARMY 💜
Whatever happens, Spring Day is the queen...💜💜
Spring day will always be THAT girl !!!!
