Day 1: First BTS song you heard

genuinely, i don't remember!  i have a close friend who has been a fan from debut so it's possible it was no more dream, but i didn't start stanning BTS until late 2015!

so i'll share my first favorite BTS song, when i was initially diving into their discography and falling in love with their music... yoongi's CONVERSE CONVERSE I RLY HATE CONVERSE lives rent free in my head

Day 4: A song perfect when it's raining

Rain

is it too obvious of a choice?  dark & wild is still one of my favorite albums, and rain really is the perfect song for rainy weather, so i've gotta share it!

Day 6: A favorite from MOTS 7

the one.... the only...... the queen!!! 🥁🥁🥁

BLACK SWAN

such an incredible song AND i love the choreo / every performance!!!

it is one of their songs that i sometimes feel bittersweet listening to - i'm caught between jamming and reflecting on the experience of burn out & how terrifying it can feel to lose a passion for something that once fueled you - and it is a song i'm immensely grateful for

Day 7: A song for working out

Run BTS

i essentially get the zoomies when i listen to this song. it is so energizing!! i love the lyrics too, especially when hobi shouts out each member, and this dance practice video is straight 🔥🔥🔥

Day 8: Favorite from Layover

For Us

this was a tough one! i love the album on the whole - listening to tae's voice feels like a hug - but i have a soft spot for For Us, especially when the tape rewinds and he repeats the intro  just a lovely song

Day 10: A song that puts you to tears

2!3!

every day i regret that i missed my opportunity to see this live, but also i would've probably disintegrated so i guess it was for my own good

but for real. this song means a lot to me! possibly my favorite song of all time from them! i'm always trying to hold onto hope for more good days, often thanks to them. love u dearly BTS 💜

Butter

posting the music video because it's one of my favorites! i adore the beat, dance, outfits, and just watching them goof around. joon's iconic line "got ARMY right behind us when we say so" with the boys spelling ARMY makes me smile so hard like HELL YEAHH that's us  lastly jk's long purple hair this era was TOP TIER

Day 14: Favorite from D-Day

AMYGDALA

i have so many thoughts about this song i think i could write a whole essay. but to keep it short, amygdala is a song that means a lot to me, especially as another human in a love/hate relationship with my amygdala. i am grateful that yoongi shared it with us  

please heed the content warnings for the mv on youtube and take care!

@brie omg so i didn’t really know paradise until a few weeks ago??? i’m sure i heard it once in my earlier days, but i’ve been listening to ly:tear quite a lot recently and each time i had to stop and check which song was playing when i hit paradise bc i loved it so much
@pastelsinmysky RIGHT!! ly:tear is one of my favorite albums, it's just banger after banger!

Day 16: Favorite Japanese release

it's gotta be the one... the only... LET GO!!

there's 9 million views on this bangtan bomb, and i'm at LEAST 1 million of those views (/j) - the chorus!! the dance!!! jin's high note!!! i love this song

Day 17: Makes you feel confident

Answer: Love Myself

i love this part of yoongi's verse: "The thick tree rings in your life / It's part of you, it's you"

which reminds me of joon's UN speech, "maybe i made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday's me is still me. today i am who i am with all of my faults & mistakes. tomorrow i might be a bit wiser & that'll be me too. these faults & mistakes are what i am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life" ✨
