💜💜Not Today is inspired by one of the famous quotes by Martin Luther King Jr., “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.” It's all about fighting authority and "breaking the glass ceiling." Its 2017 releases coincided with civil unrest in South Korea as a response to governmental corruption. RM confirmed as much when asked about the song by the Korea Herald. "I wrote the lyrics for BTS so we do not stay silent against social issues and injustice and continue to solve it and raise problem," he said. "We talk about social issues, read books and meet with experts and ponder together. We still have a long way to go, but we will think hard and embrace criticism." The lyrics of "Not Today" speak of overcoming obstacles and keep fighting, while instilling hope in oneself. In the opening lyrics, RM calls out to "all the underdogs in the world." It discusses the theme of anti-establishment that was featured in their previous singles "No More Dream" and "N.O.", through lines like, "A day may come when we lose/ But it is not today/ Today we fight!" During the chorus, the band speak of rallying against injustice, corruption and irrationality; "Don’t kneel, don’t cry, raise your hands Not not today." The line, "Break the glass ceiling that cages you" references the idea of breaking all invisible barriers that stop people from succeeding. The lyrics addressed social and political issues (they are trying to rally the youth and let them know life is worth fighting for, possibly in response to the extremely high rates of youth suicide in their country from a generation that feels lost, unempowered and desperate.)💜💜
It's so funny how often you said "That's dope" or "That's fire" during this reaction because I'm sitting here and kind of laugh-yell at the screen "No, that's Not Today!" (They literally have a song called Dope AND a song called Fire.)
I agree with you. I also always giggle at reactors especially the Americans who like to say Dope and Fire and then think hahaha if only they know 😂😂. I purple you💜💜💜
You will understand the hate for BTS if you watch the Taylor Mari video for “guide to BTS members” and also XCeleste video about their hardship and why army is so protective of our ot7. Thank you for your reaction 💜
Agree! If you don't like the music, don't listen to it. There are just some cowardly people out there who want to cause problems and are too afraid to show their faces.
If you haven't already you should definitely watch XCeleste's video BTS Hardships 2013-2021 (linked below). It's honestly infuriating but it's a huge part of their story and goes a long way to explaining their quite unique and close relationship with ARMY. 💜 BTS Hardships 2013-2021: th-cam.com/video/EdY6wnLsetQ/w-d-xo.html
Probably my favorite among their hype songs. So fun watching you enjoy it. This song (and BTS in general) always inspire me. I am so grateful for them and how they’ve lifted me up time and time again:
there are haters because BTS is the best and they (haters) can't beat BTS 😂😁lol ..... BTS is too perfect and high for them to reach. keep supporting BTS 💜💜💜💜
Haters hate on them because they are so successful. They can’t be them and they don’t have loving fans like they do. I don’t think that there will ever be another group like BTS or another fandom like Army.
Thanks for your BTS reaction.. you might like to check out their Not Today dance practice and also the MV shooting! enjoyyyyy! :) Dance practice th-cam.com/video/_PwYjNh1bww/w-d-xo.html MV shooting th-cam.com/video/UZMjLkUJOOU/w-d-xo.html
The BTS Haters are fans from other fandoms who actually got knocked out of the running for awards they assumed were there's. I wont mention any names but there was 1 in particular. Their book Beyond the Story was really enlightening. Things were revealed that were didn't even know about. Remember, KPOP is an INDUSTRY and if you dont follow their protocols and pay your way up then you are outcaste. BTS had to create their own variety show, RUN BTS, because they had not real way to connect to ARMY besides doing VLives.
I actually reacted to that one already, it’ll be on my channel under “bts reactions” playlists if you want to check it out! But you’re right, I did enjoy that one as well lol. The energy from both songs was crazy 🔥
It seems like maybe you're a dancer? If so, I highly recommend you check out the dance practice for some of the ones you like best (this one is a great one). The dance practice is pretty special because it's just that, the dance for the whole song, without all the cuts out to create the cinematic video, and typically you can see all seven of them, when all seven are dancing. 💜
That’s a great idea! I think going forward, I’m going to react to the video and performances all in one! That way I can get through and see a lot more of their content other than just the videos 💜
Many hate because they’re Asian band successful In racist society. I have tried to share their music with my family and been told because they are Asian they won’t even give them a chance. It was my granddaughters that introduced me to them in 2018 went to our first BTS concert in 2019 and if they are in USA we’re there Agust D/ Suga concert in Chicago was awesome. He will be doing live streaming from Korea August 4&5 through Weverse BTS official site where they do live streaming etc. please react to Mic drop. Dope, Fire. Enjoyed your reaction 💜
They hate BTS because the used to be "underdogs"the nobodies", the ones they said won't make it because they came from a small almost bankrupt company. They can't believe BTS were able to outperformed, and outsell other KPop groups who came from the big 3 companies. They hate BTS because the boys proved the haters and antis wrong. Next, please watch and react to Hardships of BTS by XCeleste.
@juliegibson1139 It's not just fans of other groups. Over the years BTS has been treated badly by Korean TV companies and show hosts. MBC a Korean TV company got annoyed when BTS didn't appear on their New Year show in 2019 because BTS had already committed to appear at the New years rocking eve show in Times Square and dont invite BTS to appear in their shows any more. Check out XCeleste's video on BTS's hardships 💜💜💜

That's is freakin awesome! I never knew this. Thank you! 💜
Welcome. It's your first time with BTS❤
Haters always hate those whom they can never surpass....BTS became the industry anomaly for kpop.....they became global stars....
Facts 💯

I didn't see it until just now so I was very glad to see your comment. I had the same reaction 😂
I was thinking the exact same thing!!!
Still one of my favorites. Lyrics, choreo, MV. Love it. This is a song that one should listen as soon as you wake up and then smash the day.
You will understand the hate for BTS if you watch the Taylor Mari video for “guide to BTS members” and also XCeleste video about their hardship and why army is so protective of our ot7. Thank you for your reaction 💜

They hate because they are jealous. Jealousy is ugly.
You need to watch Mic Drop Steve Aoki mix. I think you’ll love it!!

@@OffTopReactionswe tend to like that a lot 😁 you'll find plenty of audience for deep dives
I'm just going to thank you for having respect for the boys, and I'm going to say that honestly only those who speak badly don't really know
The haters are usually from other idol groups who are just plainly jealous. Do you know that there is also a Fire and Dope videos?
The haters are mostly fans from other groups who want their group to win all the awards or other rival music companies i think
You should react to bts jimin solo song like crazy .
