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 2: A song that motivates you
outro: wings!!! a great motivator AND it's a banger
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 5: A song that makes you dance
Outro: Ego
one of my absolute favs of all time!!! i would LIVE to see this live one day - i truly, truly hope i get to experience hearing ego live one day!

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 9: Favorite Intro / Interlude
Interlude: Set Me Free
not too much to say today, except that this is one of my comfort songs... AND [big sigh] i miss yoongi!!!
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 💜
Day 11: A song you will play on your wedding
Trivia 承: Love
i didn't have a wedding, but if i did, i would certainly play this
Day 12: Favorite English song
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
BTS (방탄소년단) 'Butter' Official MV Credits: Director: Yong Seok Choi (Lumpens)1st AD: Jihye Yoon (Lumpens)2nd AD: Ran Ro (Lumpens)PA: Soeyoung Park, Minsu KimD...
@brie
The ELEVATOR!!!
💜
😱 🤗 😱
All of this so much! 
Day 13: A song you recommend to locals
ON
i like to recommend this mv version specifically, because i think it highlights their various talents - singing, rapping, dancing, stage presence - very well! plus they look damn good in this mv
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!

Day 15: An underrated b-side
Paradise
honestly i don't know if paradise is underrated among ARMY, but it feels underrated by BTS and HYBE! justice for paradise!!! please sing it live one day!!!
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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOS766qqzlM&ab_channel=BANGTANTV
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" ✨
Day 18: A song that's on repeat
Hip Hop Phile / Lover
forever on repeat
Day 19: Favorite collab
Crying Over You ◐
such a hard question to answer!!! but i have to shout out this song because i LOVE this song!!! so much so that i'm going to create a meme about it brb (will toot meme separately)
Day 20: A song you sing in the car
A Brand New Day
i love this song so much it was my #1 song on spotify in 2019!!! it's a certified summer sing along banger
Day 21: Favorite from Face
Set Me Free Pt. 2
i remember the CHILLS i had when this mv dropped - what an incredibly powerful performance, lyrics, dance, and message to the world. it's a great song, and a great reminder, and it just makes me so, so proud of jimin & excited for his future
"I won't hide anymore, even if it hurts
Going insane to stay sane
Raise your hands for the past me
Set me free" 💜
