Here Are 10 Of BTS' Most Meaningful Songs That You Need To Hear ASAP

    BTS has a song for every emotion.

    I don’t know about you, but these days I find myself in extra need of healing music. I just keep needing something to help me work through all these extra emotions. Well, today, BTS is here to serve.

    Here is a list of what I find to be 10 of the most meaningful BTS songs out there.

    1. "00:00 (Zero O' Clock)"

    "00:00 (Zero O' Clock)" is a song from Map of The Soul:7. Sharing the message of the resetting day, the song says that at 00:00, time will reset and happiness will find us again (and if it doesn't, 0 o'clock is just around the corner)! It showcases the comfort of starting each day anew. This soft-pop record never fails to inspire hope in me and is a go-to when I can't wait for a bad day to be over.

    2. "Mikrokosmos"

    "Mikrokosmos" is such a fun and uplifting song! Watching them perform this at the end of concerts could literally bring tears to your eyes. The song says that each of our lives is like a star, and talks about how beautiful things can be when we all come together! While this is mainly a message for their fans, I think it also just functions as a beautiful song promoting togetherness. The “Shine, Dream, Smile” at the end always gets me!

    3. "Answer: Love Myself"

    I think it’s obvious why this song is on the list. Released in the last installment of the group’s love yourself series, "Love Yourself: Answer," the song is a huge ode to self-love! It talks about how they’ve learned the importance of self-love through their fans and encourages others to continue on the journey towards understanding and loving ourselves. Isn’t that a beautiful message?

    4. "Moving On"

    "Moving On" is such a beautiful song. Another part of their “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life” era, the song talks about how we are all human, and all going through similar processes of having difficulty moving forward, sometimes. RM’s verse at the end of the song is always so healing for me to hear.

    5. "2!3!"

    "2!3!" is another fan song! This song is SO meaningful to ARMY, but even if you aren’t a die-hard BTS fan, this song can be super enjoyable and light. It’s a song about going through things together, and being together (holding hands on the count of "2!3!" and taking things on!). It’s adorable and I love it so much.

    6. "Paradise"

    This song has a message that I personally think is super important. For the longest time, BTS has been reassuring its listeners and relaying the message that there is no “right way” to go about life, and that is summed up behind a beautiful, groovy beat in this song. “Paradise” reminds us that it’s okay to go at a different pace as others towards our dreams, and even to not have a dream at all! Our personal happiness and wellness are all that matters.

    7. "Life Goes On"

    This was the mid-pandemic tune that I needed to rediscover my sanity. At a time when the whole world felt (and very much was in many degrees) like it was standing still, “Life Goes On” soothed us and reminded us that things could still be okay!

    8. "Tomorrow"

    "Tomorrow" is a little bit of an older BTS song, coming from their School Love Affair album. It’s a criticism and analysis of the way we experience life, days blending together, feeling like we’re doing nothing or getting no closer to where we need to go, yet being desperate for tomorrow. The song definitely makes you feel a lot of emotions as you listen to it, and the message in it is incredibly relatable and important.

    9. "Magic Shop"

    Another fan song! "Magic Shop" is a HUGE theme of BTS and ARMY’s relationship ever since its release. It talks about a “magic shop," a special place that houses the relationship between the two and keeps it safe, and recognizes its uniqueness. How wonderful is that? The song is also produced by Jungkook, which makes it even sweeter.

    10. "A Supplementary Story: You Never Walk Alone"

    This is hands down, one of my favorite BTS songs. It’s not very long, or complex, but there’s something about it that is so powerful to me. The entire “You Never Walk Alone” project during the WINGS era sent such incredible and important messages of perseverance, individual growth, and togetherness, that are all brought together in this Supplemental track.
