This song isn’t about a relationship. They’ve wrote this song when the group was seriously thinking about disband and all of them were sad and conflicted. Fortunately they decided continue being together.
Music is about interpretation, it means something to the guys but the audience might find something they can relate to for their own life in different ways. I think that’s what’s great about their music!
I completely agree what you guys said, music can be interpreted based on our own experiences and emotions. I just replicated what the boys said about the lyrics of this song
@@dianamode212 yes u are right. I just wanna add something about art. People say art is upto interpretation. A lot of artists create art and say oh its upto the audiences interpretation. But what the audience don't realise is its wayyy more difficult to create art out of real emotions and feelings and saying OK so this is what this song is about. And people relate more to the stuff born out of real emotions more. Beacuse humans experience similar emotions quite often. So I give props to bts for coming out and saying what the song was born out of.... it makes the song 10 times more significant than it was before when we didn't have the artists story on it.
Haha trust me, you’re definitely not the only one who is very surprised by BTS! Many people only think “ooh, BTS is that boyband all those teenage girls listen to” - they’re really not only that. As you said, they’re absolutely diverse. They’re also mad talented and committed to their profession - they really love what they do. About this song: this is a very emotional song, but it is not about a relationship between them and a girl but about the group. Suga (the guy did the second verse) wrote those lyrics when they group thought about disbanding. They really went through a lot (and I really mean A LOT, they’ve really worked their way up from nothing!!) and when it was particularly hard Suga wrote this song. He said when he read the lyrics to the members they all cried together. But don’t get a wrong impression, they really love each other and are very happy now. They’ve been together for almost a decade, they live together and they are really a family :))
I'm 61 and never liked rap until I became a BTS fan. Their rapping skills are no joke and the lyrics and wordplays in the songs are so good. BTS are so talented and it's really sad some people think they are just a little boy band with poppy songs only.
They said they wrote this song in a time where they were thinking about disbanding (the group) because of the pressure they're were on (and still are) because of their popularity😅 we're thankful that they didn't go through with it
Hope that you can listen to more of their diverse discography including their solo songs and mixtapes. They usually wrote lyrics with deep meanings, positivity, inspiration and relatable to most people. Their 2 full English songs Dynamite and Butter can be misleading to new listeners who think that their genres are just poppy and funky songs. They released these songs to bring fun, joy and uplift people during the pandemic.
Welcome! It took me about a year to get really into BTS too because I’d only really been into rock, but fast forward 5 years and seeing 2 live concerts later and I’m blissfully happy staying in the BTS rabbit hole for as long as possible! They’ve really brought allot of joy and more knowledge and depth into my life. 💜
It’s even funnier when you realize that during the concert the song that’s right after Tear is The Truth Untold 😂😂 So the crowd goes from super hype to an emotional mess 😂
Oh my god you did Tear..... now i warned you back at your first reaction dont take them at face value they have layers on top of layers lol. This song was actually written by Suga in 2018 and its about them and the situation they found themselves in... it was very tough year for them and they were speaking about disbanding the group. He played this for them in a hotel ropm and they all broke down crying and now... you see where they are after deciding to stick together. Its a very emotional special song 💜
I’m a 49 year old American lady and love bopping to this in my car. BTS transcends language, cultures, races, genders, and ages. I stopped listening to music until I found BTS.
Me too, my playlist only consisted of the ‘80s and ‘90s until I found out about BTS. I feel bad I didn’t give them a chance back in 2017 because I thought they were just another Kpop group. I used to listen to Kpop decade ago but stopped because they were too manufactured. I finally made myself to check them out in 2019 to see why they made it in the US market. I haven’t stopped listening to them ever since.
Fable said he could see young people in Korea bopping to this. I’m in my 60s, feeding on a staple of rock and classical music, before BTS wrecked me with songs like Truth Untold, Outro Tear. Come on! Spread the word that these are NOT your candy floss boy band here, but hard-going heart-wrenching talented ARTISTS.
Suga (one of the members) said this song was written for the members and when it was finished they all listened to it and cried together. It was in 2018 when they were seriously considering to disband but luckily they could recover themselves
honestly, that's the thing with bts. people are so quick to judge them by the "boyband" and "happy upbeat k-pop" label the media forced on them to explain the "weird new phenomenon bts" when they first entered the western market that they're surprised with the stuff they hear once they actually give them a chance. Not only is their discography very diverse, their korean lyrics are absolutely beautiful and worth reading. Along with their incredible performances and music, they also provide their fans with endless content like their own free variety show (that has over 140 episodes now!), a travel series, multiple documentary movies/series, free selfproduced mixtapes and so much more. They kinda even have their own social media platform. Once you actually get to know them and what they do, it's very easy to understand how they got as big as they are now and why their fans are as passionate as they are.
Suga, RM, and Jhope wrote this song for all bts members. Suga said that after bts listened to this song, they all cried together. The reason why they wrote this is because in 2018, bts revealed that they almost disbanded due to hardships which affects their physical & mental health because of the hatred, criticism, and more that haters threw at them and ofcourse how tiring to be a "celeb"
I’m a 54 year old woman in America and I am proud to say I blast this song and sing along (poorly) in my car! The lyrics, the flows, the auto tune, the meaning...I never liked rap before, but this song is EVERYTHING.
April Forgue is doing a great job introducing you to some hard core BTS numbers! Judging from your reactions to Outro: Tear and The Truth Untold, you need more… So, here are a few suggestions: - House of Cards (balllad, 2015, Live) - Cypher Medley (Live- They have 4 killer cyphers, but the live medley is spectacular!) - Blood, Sweat & Tears (MV, 2016) - NPR Tiny Desk Concert (2020, intimate with live band) - ARMYPEDIA (3 songs back to back, in stripped down setting) - Blue & Grey (MTV Unplugged from their BE album, 2020) - Dis-Ease (BE album, 2020) - Born Singer (Live stages 2015; 2017) After that, there will be NO TURNING back for you on the BTS path… They have over 200 songs, and they keep evolving, relentlessly!!!
Please always remember that bts RARELY wrote a song for a "relationship" (bfs or gfs). They wrote songs dedicated for either their members, armys, dedicated for themselves, their career, for depression&anxieties, cyberbullying, women empowerment etc.
I am 66 years old and ‘Tear ‘as well as all BTS songs play loudly from my car. Age has nothing to do with BTS and ARMY ages range from young teens to 70s. At concerts you see people of all ages enjoying great music. I never liked Western rap, but BTS rap and hip hop songs are fantastic and are among my favourites from them. You have said a couple of times now that their rap is for younger people. We all have to age but we don’t have to act old and stop liking things we enjoy. Just because my birth certificate says l have been around for a while now does not stop me from doing things that make me happy.
Wait til you hear 75% of their discography 🤣 they have ironic songs too. Like poppy or happy but the lyrics are actually quite depressing 😅 they have comedic fun songs too but are actually quite political 😅 and when army says theyve been saved by BTS, theyre not kidding. They have these bunch of songs where you feel consoled as a person. I'm a casual kpop fan since 2005, but my music taste has always been diverse from U2 to florence to kendrick to puddle of mudd, paramore and even beatles and a bunch of japanese rockbands. I even listen to theatre and classical music. I was not getting any projects in my career and felt left out, and baam, came across Paradise by Bts and then checked Awake as well and sort of checked the lyrics, I was already aware of them before that but Paradise upgraded me from casual listener to army in an instant. It was just the right song that I needed to hear at the time. So when you do find the bts song for you, and believe me, this isnt it or truth untold isnt it yet, but you will find it, it's the start of something new. Most armys joined the fandom because it feels like we've been heard and we also do charity works to help out those in need. You'll be shocked how much organizations and fund raising we have 😅 anyhow You're going to see the army recommend you a bunch of poetic songs (which is typical), out of bts 200-300songs, butter and dynamite are the only simple songs they do have (they would say it upfront that the song isnt deep or profound) 😅 but a pop english song was the only way apparently for them to get more radioplay. No hate for butter but it just gives a wrong first impression. They are charming though that much is true. 😂
I agree. Dynamite and Butter, whilst good song, are songs they did to cheer us up during these difficult time and therefore does not have deep lyrics and is more pop and typical.
This is the Rap Line of BTS: RM, Suga, and J-Hope. The other four BTS members make up the Vocal Line. Also, four of the members (J-Hope is one) make up the Dance Line. That is why they are so diverse. Everyone has a specialty, so unlike other “boy bands,” there is not just one member who’s the real talent and the others are a sort of backup.
I was at the Speak Yourself concert were they performed this live and it was so amazing. One of my favorite performance of the evening. The guys killed this song and the lights were perfect. I can’t wait to see BTS in concert again. Love them so much.
I think its time you watched xcelestes intro to BTS! Theyre not only diverse, high quality artists with amazing stage presence, but incredible humble people too
This was one of the best songs I’ve ever been lucky enough to see live! The whole concert was amazing but the passion in the rap line during this song that is so personal about almost disbanding, just on another level💜💜
If you really enjoy the meaning of the lyrics I’d recommend DKDKTV who break down a lot of the lyrics from a Korean perspective and explain references that we miss when relying only on English translations. These guys are truly lyrical masters! Ugh and Ddaeng are great examples but even Boy with Luv is actually a song for Army and not just a pop love song.
Add to that the storyline and symbolism that flows through a lot of their music videos (Bangtan Universe) and you’ll discover a depth and message to their music that you’d never have imagined 💜💜
This song was written at their most tough moment in their career, when they were thinking of disbanding and that’s when RM, Suga and J-Hope wrote this song for the members.
With BTS u must think about expression of love in another way, In their songs seems that they talk about love relationships, but that's not the case.. They talk about themselves, about love for music or fans.. 💜✨ I don't know why but from "my BTS beginning" I always felt that they songs went beyond this ordinary "love" meaning, and that's why I was fascinated. 👌✨💜
Hands down to BTS, the boys are so crazy talented its just out of this world, but my heart goes out to the boys and all these boy/girl bands. The hours of work they put in to perfecting their works, the lack of freedom to enjoy life, no social life, ppl around them who take advantage of their fame, agencies making them work, work, work, work w/o a break for years and squeezing every possible cent out of their fans. Its no wonder they break, who wouldn't tbh. BTS and many of these grps have put out songs of such suffering. I'm glad they didn't break up because they are phenomenal and I can't imagine how heartbroken their army would be if they did.
This remains my all time favorite BTS song. The lyrics are gut-wrenching and as lots of people have pointed out, it's not about a romantic relationship (or at least it wasn't for them). Yet another example of every time you think a BTS song is about a girlfriend, 99% of the time, it's not. Boy with Luv was probably their last big hit that was about a romantic relationship and that song was mostly written by outside songwriters. They sang about girls a lot in their early albums to cater to the teen girl demographic. But as they got older and more sure of themselves as artists, they started to write less and less about romantic relationships. This is one of the reasons they stand out from other "boy bands."
They never tell us it's about romantic relationships. There are almost always multiple meanings in artists' work, and much of it remains personal/hidden. I don't think we can discount that it's not about something also/simultaneously.
If I'm correct boy with luv was written to armys not even about a romantic relationship. It's about BTS wanting to go down to earth at ARMY's eyes level after we made them fly so high. About them wanting to know everything about ARMY. In the music video Halsey represents us as well. I thought it was at least ~
Sending love to April Forgue 💜💜 Great reaction, thank you 🙏🙏 BTS write complex melodies and are poets, something many people don’t bother to see - Outro: Tear was written about the group disbanding when they were going through a bad time - first draft written initially by Yoongi, with much credit going to the others, it’s my favourite song by the rap line (i have others but if I had to just pick one...). BTS are really multidimensional, multitalented artists - they write and produce incredible music that defies genres, they are great vocalists and rappers, they are fantastic dancers, amazing performers - and really good, decent, hard working, kind, and committed men. They deserve to be on top of the world 💜
After watching your reactions to The Truth Untold and this perf... here's the list of BTS songs that has very meaningful and deep lyrics you should definitely check them out Blue & Grey Louder Than Bombs Stigma (V's solo) Tomorrow So Far Away The Last [from Agust D (Suga's mixtape)] Still With You Your Eyes Tell (live) 00:00 (Zero O'clock) Epiphany First Love Shadow Singularity Abyss Jamais Vu Sea
Hello! I like your reactions. Maybe could you make reactions to videos showing more about BTS? I recommend Who is BTS? The seven members of bangtan (it's a bit dated but still giving a lot of info), Introduction by Ida S, This is BTS by xCeleste and Crash Course. BTS has a lot to offer. It would be nice if you could get to know the band more.
They spelled T.E.A.R. I believe, because in that one part it is meant to mean both "tear" as in crying, and "tear" as in ripping apart. By spelling it, it can mean both at the same time. Throughout the song it's pronounced in both ways. RM (first rapper) says "teer", Suga says "tare". And J Hope speaks of the fear of the end of a relationship (or remaining in pain in a relationship that's doomed). Unlike some others, I never like to dismiss romantic relationships as one of the motivators for their songs. Romantic love is very strong...even just the desire to be in love. I like to think with 7 people they can each have different meanings and interpretations of the lyrics. There may be an agreed upon group analysis, but that group is made of 7 individuals who each contribute. Unfortunately bc of their fame they can't be honest about their romantic lives, but it's a bit naive IMO to assume that out of 7 young men, they would make it to mid 20's-30 without any one of them having at the very least intense crushes and some sort of experience with love or romantic angst. They are human beings with similar feelings and desires as any other humans. So yeah, I personally call B.S. on it ONLY always being about just ARMY or eachother, or one's self (even in they claim it in their own words). They've had too much negative attention on them any time they involve a romantic interest in their concept or lyrics, that I don't expect them to ever own up to it.
They have many songs with multiple possible interpretations. Also, they have many songs that are explicitly about romance... The whole Dark & Wild album is about love and heartbreak. People say not all their songs are about romance, because they do have songs that are about other types of love that general public makes stupid assumptions about. Tear is obviously written so a common person can relate to it in relation to any type of break up. (Because they make pop music and mainstream music is supposed to be relatable.) But, the origin of the song is about when they were going through a very rough time and considering disbanding, they stated that explicitly, and we can't totally ignore it because they shared a vulnerability when they told us the background story.
IT'S NOT ABOUT RELATIONSHIP. ALL BTS SONGS(NOT QUITE ALL) ARE ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS, NEVER. THEY JUST USE THOSE WORDS TO EXPRESS THEIR FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS. BUT THE TRUTH IS, IT HAS A DEEP MEANING. I REQUEST THAT BEFORE YOU REACT TO A SONG, YOU MUST RESEARCH ABOUT WHAT THE SONGS DELIVERED AND WHAT THEY WANT TO CONVEYED.
Lol him saying everytime that is about a relationship. Lol let me say this straight BTS DOESNT MAKE MUSIC ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS! This song is actually very personal for them, so that why we have a lot of respect for this song. I recommed reacting to the explained videos. But pls get that relationship out of you head, I am saying it really respectfully, now that we have that covered. I really liked your reaction.
they have plenty old songs about love relationship ^^ but they have always double meaning and are deep, like The True Untold, this song is about love and self-love the last song really light about this theme was Dimple in 2017 LOL but even with their past songs this is just 10-15% on 230 songs from their discography 😂😂
uhmm most of their songs are about relationships. Relationship with one's self, relationship with each other, with their fans, with friends, with family, with the society, etc. Relationships doesn't have to be romantic, although they did have songs like those in their old discography.
This reaction was amazing! love to see you vibing to the music and analyzing the lyricsm. lm actually very new to them too and they completely blew away my expectations, mad talented 💜
6:41 The abbreviated T.E.A.R Worden's model on stages of grief T - To accept the reality of loss E - Experience the pain of loss A - Adjust to the new environment after loss R - Reinvest in new reality
"Let's go! What you gonna say?" RM: "I show you myself." *and starts rapping about his tears when BTS was about to break up under the stress in the early -18*
Love your reaction! Anw, the song is actually about themselves, it was written when they were thinking about breaking up. The lyrics are about the members.
Let's go to "On(Kinetic manifesto flm)" and "Mic drop"! You will see their versatility!!! For the live performance, this is not even their best performance😅 You will be amazed if you watch these : MMA 2018 & 2019 (MMA is the Korean award show, and you will see what they really can do on the stage) Thank you for your open mind and giving chance to BTS! If you had no prejudice, you would meet the whole different level. I'm ur new subscriber to be your journey!
The songs that sound like love sounds are usually about ARMY. As people say in the comments, it’s about the group once talking about breaking up. They almost NEVER do songs about romantic relationships.
Thanks for reaction. TEAR BTS is amazing, important rap song for Us. Very Special song for Us. Lyrics about very hard time for BTS and ARMY. They are angry with themselves. Year 2018..very hard year for BTS. Best Awards and Top, but still haters and hostility. Finally BTS talked about disbanding the Team! BTS are Together for 2010, 2011. Starting with one room for Their 7. Always Together. training, practice, perform, programs, eat, sleep, relax and more.... For the year, maybe a few days were apart. So... It's not a band anymore, it's a Family. BTS became Brothers to one another. and Suddenly They would be separated?! I Think... It was a time of despair and pain.... and We (ARMY)...didn't know anything... The greater shock and pain We felt knowing, that They were struggling with it themselves. Watch and listen final speeches MAMA 2018. So... TEAR is very Important, very Emotional and very Special song for Us. I Hope... You watch and listen more BTS songs. I Purple U All. Be Safe Everyone.
Love the fact your now reacting to BTS!! Army will love your reactions 🥰 I’m a huge twenty one pilots fan and have been a BTS army for almost 2 years! Once you delve into the BTS rabbit hold you won’t ever want to get out haha Global superstars! 🔥🔥 There’s so many I could suggest you react to but I would definitely suggest Mic drop, fire, on and Ddaeng xx
After watching your reaction to TTU, this would have been what I would have wanted you to react to next...I am so looking forward to watching this, thank you 🙏🇿🇦
I like your reaction! Please, check more BTS music and performances. I recommend Ddaeng and Ugh live. Also Singularity, Stigma, Lie, Epiphany, Euphoria live or MV (not all of them have MVs but they all are fire live). These at solo work by vocalists
I am sad you picked of all live performances of Outro: Tear out there this one. Looks like a shitty recording in full sun light :-( Don´t get me wrong, it is still a dope song ( one of my absolute favorite ones in their discography) but seeing it being performed in Wembley in the night with neon green laser beams highlighting the stage and all of them in full black - a totally different experience. Concerts in the evening hit differently than the ones in blazing sun shine :-() The song is not about any dear or anyone particular. It was written by Suga ( the same guy that you reacted to in Daechwita / = AgustD is him) during their "existential crises" as a group in 2018 when they were all physically and mentally burnt out and were considering disbanding. The song is about that. You are right - many people mistakenly think of them as a stereotypical boy band with sugary, superficial songs about chicks and heart breaks. Not BTS mister :-) Their rap line is the best out there even if many people would disagree. Their musical variability is insane and they are never afraid to experiment and try new things. I hope you find more songs to your taste.
I actually think that this version is better (musically) than the Wembley version. Wembley was visually awesome but I think the rap line gave a better performance here than they did at Wembley.
@@traktician Mic Drop.. the Steve Aoki Remix video... then check out their dance rehersal video on it... a.m.a.z.i.n.g. in my opinion the best dance breaks and video.. not to mention the rapthingy lol rumor has it the mic drop idea came from obama's mic drop moment but the actual context of the song came from all the haters and naysayers about BTS back in 2017 I believe it was... it was their response to those critics..
You see, i like you because even if u had some prejudice (it's normal, many of us were like you before listening to them, thinking about some boyband usual thing) but you have an open mind and u are enjoying the journey! There are some hip hop reactors, like Nolifeshaq, that i love, but that they say to their fans (this 1 year ago) "Don't worry i will never react to that bts shit" cause they are afraid of toxic fans. I think every fandom has toxic fans, eminem too, tom MacDonald has some crazy fans too... I hate their prejudice, cause they say those things without knowing What these guys are all about! So sad 😥 Thank you for your reactions 💜
Please reaction to song bts dimple and paid paper live ,so what live,mickrocosmos live,love yourself answer and magic shop live 💜 army from Africa 🌍 somalia 🇸🇴 💜
Thanks for your great reaction! 💜 I like your reactions because of your commentary, you don‘t just bop your head to the music. I hope you can react next to more videos about the band and the members. They all are mad talented, passionate about their craft and their fans, inspiring people and on top of that funny af. Some recommendations to get to know more about them: - This is BTS by xceleste - An introduction to the seven members of BTS (2021 update) by Ida S. It is one of the newest introductions and based on their artistry. She reuploaded the video a few days ago. Greets from Europe!
their versatility is amazing.. the vocal line is great as you've seen in your previous reaction, the rap line is fire as you've witnessed here and as a group they're another level too... and i don't even have words for live performances..hahaha what's not to like.. that's why i don't understand all the hate towards them, its just so sad..
Pausing frequently during an artist's performance/track is like a chef trying to cook a dish, but the diner keeps tasting it WHILE the chef is in the process of cooking the dish. Instead, try just watching/listening all the way through the first time. Then, pause to make your comments a second time through. Just a suggestion.
🙏🙏🙏Could you please react to this video to understand what they stand for; -Who is BTS Introduction to BTS by xceleste This video really helps and shows how humble they are. 🙏 Enjoy your reaction!! Thanks for reacting!!!
This song isn’t about a relationship. They’ve wrote this song when the group was seriously thinking about disband and all of them were sad and conflicted. Fortunately they decided continue being together.
Music is about interpretation, it means something to the guys but the audience might find something they can relate to for their own life in different ways. I think that’s what’s great about their music!
It can also be applied to RM 's old friends when you think about it 😅 which sucks. fake friends tsk.
I completely agree what you guys said, music can be interpreted based on our own experiences and emotions. I just replicated what the boys said about the lyrics of this song
@@dianamode212 yes u are right. I just wanna add something about art. People say art is upto interpretation. A lot of artists create art and say oh its upto the audiences interpretation.

Is it song? where is a melody? harmony? 2-3 chords

I'm 61 and never liked rap until I became a BTS fan. Their rapping skills are no joke and the lyrics and wordplays in the songs are so good. BTS are so talented and it's really sad some people think they are just a little boy band with poppy songs only.
Same here, I hated rap when my nephew listened to it when he was young. All I heard was the F words. BTS changed my mind and I love their voices.
same never liked western rap but i really like rap from bts and other groups from korea
They said they wrote this song in a time where they were thinking about disbanding (the group) because of the pressure they're were on (and still are) because of their popularity😅 we're thankful that they didn't go through with it
The level of pain in the lyrics of this song actually mirrors the depth of BTS' relationship.
I'm starting to warm up to them, I admit that they are super talented..!!!
💜
💜
Hope that you can listen to more of their diverse discography including their solo songs and mixtapes. They usually wrote lyrics with deep meanings, positivity, inspiration and relatable to most people.

It has been over two years since the concerts happened

April Forgue is doing a great job introducing you to some hard core BTS numbers! Judging from your reactions to Outro: Tear and The Truth Untold, you need more… So, here are a few suggestions:
- House of Cards (balllad, 2015, Live)
- Cypher Medley (Live- They have 4 killer cyphers, but the live medley is spectacular!)
- Blood, Sweat & Tears (MV, 2016)
- NPR Tiny Desk Concert (2020, intimate with live band)
- ARMYPEDIA (3 songs back to back, in stripped down setting)
- Blue & Grey (MTV Unplugged from their BE album, 2020)
- Dis-Ease (BE album, 2020)
- Born Singer (Live stages 2015; 2017)
After that, there will be NO TURNING back for you on the BTS path… They have over 200 songs, and they keep evolving, relentlessly!!!
Please always remember that bts RARELY wrote a song for a "relationship" (bfs or gfs). They wrote songs dedicated for either their members, armys, dedicated for themselves, their career, for depression&anxieties, cyberbullying, women empowerment etc.
I am 66 years old and ‘Tear ‘as well as all BTS songs play loudly from my car. Age has nothing to do with BTS and ARMY ages range from young teens to 70s. At concerts you see people of all ages enjoying great music. I never liked Western rap, but BTS rap and hip hop songs are fantastic and are among my favourites from them. You have said a couple of times now that their rap is for younger people. We all have to age but we don’t have to act old and stop liking things we enjoy. Just because my birth certificate says l have been around for a while now does not stop me from doing things that make me happy.
BTS is at their best in live performances
this is onr of my fav BTS rap line song ...ever!
Wait til you hear 75% of their discography 🤣 they have ironic songs too. Like poppy or happy but the lyrics are actually quite depressing 😅 they have comedic fun songs too but are actually quite political 😅 and when army says theyve been saved by BTS, theyre not kidding. They have these bunch of songs where you feel consoled as a person. I'm a casual kpop fan since 2005, but my music taste has always been diverse from U2 to florence to kendrick to puddle of mudd, paramore and even beatles and a bunch of japanese rockbands. I even listen to theatre and classical music. I was not getting any projects in my career and felt left out, and baam, came across Paradise by Bts and then checked Awake as well and sort of checked the lyrics, I was already aware of them before that but Paradise upgraded me from casual listener to army in an instant. It was just the right song that I needed to hear at the time. So when you do find the bts song for you, and believe me, this isnt it or truth untold isnt it yet, but you will find it, it's the start of something new. Most armys joined the fandom because it feels like we've been heard and we also do charity works to help out those in need. You'll be shocked how much organizations and fund raising we have 😅 anyhow You're going to see the army recommend you a bunch of poetic songs (which is typical), out of bts 200-300songs, butter and dynamite are the only simple songs they do have (they would say it upfront that the song isnt deep or profound) 😅 but a pop english song was the only way apparently for them to get more radioplay. No hate for butter but it just gives a wrong first impression. They are charming though that much is true. 😂
I agree. Dynamite and Butter, whilst good song, are songs they did to cheer us up during these difficult time and therefore does not have deep lyrics and is more pop and typical.
This is the Rap Line of BTS: RM, Suga, and
J-Hope. The other four BTS members make up the Vocal Line. Also, four of the members (J-Hope is one) make up the Dance Line. That is why they are so diverse. Everyone has a specialty, so unlike other “boy bands,” there is not just one member who’s the real talent and the others are a sort of backup.
In fact this song was written by suga when they were thinking of disbanding the group
I was at the Speak Yourself concert were they performed this live and it was so amazing. One of my favorite performance of the evening. The guys killed this song and the lights were perfect. I can’t wait to see BTS in concert again. Love them so much.
I think its time you watched xcelestes intro to BTS! Theyre not only diverse, high quality artists with amazing stage presence, but incredible humble people too
Suga has a way of making a song that can either rip out your soul or build you up & make you feel invincible
you would absolutely lose your mind with the cyphers
This was one of the best songs I’ve ever been lucky enough to see live! The whole concert was amazing but the passion in the rap line during this song that is so personal about almost disbanding, just on another level💜💜
If you really enjoy the meaning of the lyrics I’d recommend DKDKTV who break down a lot of the lyrics from a Korean perspective and explain references that we miss when relying only on English translations. These guys are truly lyrical masters! Ugh and Ddaeng are great examples but even Boy with Luv is actually a song for Army and not just a pop love song.
Add to that the storyline and symbolism that flows through a lot of their music videos (Bangtan Universe) and you’ll discover a depth and message to their music that you’d never have imagined 💜💜
This song was written at their most tough moment in their career, when they were thinking of disbanding and that’s when RM, Suga and J-Hope wrote this song for the members.
RM “just spitting like a llama”. 🤣😂🤣
With BTS u must think about expression of love in another way, In their songs seems that they talk about love relationships, but that's not the case.. They talk about themselves, about love for music or fans.. 💜✨ I don't know why but from "my BTS beginning" I always felt that they songs went beyond this ordinary "love" meaning, and that's why I was fascinated. 👌✨💜
Hands down to BTS, the boys are so crazy talented its just out of this world, but my heart goes out to the boys and all these boy/girl bands. The hours of work they put in to perfecting their works, the lack of freedom to enjoy life, no social life, ppl around them who take advantage of their fame, agencies making them work, work, work, work w/o a break for years and squeezing every possible cent out of their fans. Its no wonder they break, who wouldn't tbh. BTS and many of these grps have put out songs of such suffering. I'm glad they didn't break up because they are phenomenal and I can't imagine how heartbroken their army would be if they did.
Yes. BTS can cater to all. They sing any genre
Listen to Fake Love, it is great too. It is just insanely good (dance, lyrics, performance, all of it)
This remains my all time favorite BTS song. The lyrics are gut-wrenching and as lots of people have pointed out, it's not about a romantic relationship (or at least it wasn't for them). Yet another example of every time you think a BTS song is about a girlfriend, 99% of the time, it's not. Boy with Luv was probably their last big hit that was about a romantic relationship and that song was mostly written by outside songwriters.
They sang about girls a lot in their early albums to cater to the teen girl demographic. But as they got older and more sure of themselves as artists, they started to write less and less about romantic relationships. This is one of the reasons they stand out from other "boy bands."
They never tell us it's about romantic relationships. There are almost always multiple meanings in artists' work, and much of it remains personal/hidden. I don't think we can discount that it's not about something also/simultaneously.
@@jademelon7272 That’s true. I’m sure all of them have secretly dated. I guess I should say most of their songs are not overtly romantic.
If I'm correct boy with luv was written to armys not even about a romantic relationship. It's about BTS wanting to go down to earth at ARMY's eyes level after we made them fly so high. About them wanting to know everything about ARMY. In the music video Halsey represents us as well. I thought it was at least ~
@@cassandralucastorres1676 Yeah they did say that. Although I personally think Boy with Luv sounds a lot more like a love song.
Sending love to April Forgue 💜💜 Great reaction, thank you 🙏🙏 BTS write complex melodies and are poets, something many people don’t bother to see - Outro: Tear was written about the group disbanding when they were going through a bad time - first draft written initially by Yoongi, with much credit going to the others, it’s my favourite song by the rap line (i have others but if I had to just pick one...). BTS are really multidimensional, multitalented artists - they write and produce incredible music that defies genres, they are great vocalists and rappers, they are fantastic dancers, amazing performers - and really good, decent, hard working, kind, and committed men.
They deserve to be on top of the world 💜
Awesome BTS performance! Love this song. Enjoyed this reaction!!

Hello! I like your reactions. Maybe could you make reactions to videos showing more about BTS? I recommend Who is BTS? The seven members of bangtan (it's a bit dated but still giving a lot of info), Introduction by Ida S, This is BTS by xCeleste and Crash Course. BTS has a lot to offer. It would be nice if you could get to know the band more.
Everytime I hear this song, makes me cry cos I know what the song really mean. 😭
Love your reactions to BTS! Thank you Fable👍💜
They spelled T.E.A.R. I believe, because in that one part it is meant to mean both "tear" as in crying, and "tear" as in ripping apart. By spelling it, it can mean both at the same time. Throughout the song it's pronounced in both ways. RM (first rapper) says "teer", Suga says "tare". And J Hope speaks of the fear of the end of a relationship (or remaining in pain in a relationship that's doomed).
Unlike some others, I never like to dismiss romantic relationships as one of the motivators for their songs. Romantic love is very strong...even just the desire to be in love. I like to think with 7 people they can each have different meanings and interpretations of the lyrics. There may be an agreed upon group analysis, but that group is made of 7 individuals who each contribute.
Unfortunately bc of their fame they can't be honest about their romantic lives, but it's a bit naive IMO to assume that out of 7 young men, they would make it to mid 20's-30 without any one of them having at the very least intense crushes and some sort of experience with love or romantic angst. They are human beings with similar feelings and desires as any other humans. So yeah, I personally call B.S. on it ONLY always being about just ARMY or eachother, or one's self (even in they claim it in their own words). They've had too much negative attention on them any time they involve a romantic interest in their concept or lyrics, that I don't expect them to ever own up to it.
They have many songs with multiple possible interpretations. Also, they have many songs that are explicitly about romance... The whole Dark & Wild album is about love and heartbreak. People say not all their songs are about romance, because they do have songs that are about other types of love that general public makes stupid assumptions about. Tear is obviously written so a common person can relate to it in relation to any type of break up. (Because they make pop music and mainstream music is supposed to be relatable.) But, the origin of the song is about when they were going through a very rough time and considering disbanding, they stated that explicitly, and we can't totally ignore it because they shared a vulnerability when they told us the background story.
One of my faves BTS's songs
IT'S NOT ABOUT RELATIONSHIP. ALL BTS SONGS(NOT QUITE ALL) ARE ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS, NEVER. THEY JUST USE THOSE WORDS TO EXPRESS THEIR FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS. BUT THE TRUTH IS, IT HAS A DEEP MEANING. I REQUEST THAT BEFORE YOU REACT TO A SONG, YOU MUST RESEARCH ABOUT WHAT THE SONGS DELIVERED AND WHAT THEY WANT TO CONVEYED.
Lol him saying everytime that is about a relationship. Lol let me say this straight BTS DOESNT MAKE MUSIC ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS!
This song is actually very personal for them, so that why we have a lot of respect for this song. I recommed reacting to the explained videos. But pls get that relationship out of you head, I am saying it really respectfully, now that we have that covered. I really liked your reaction.
they have plenty old songs about love relationship ^^ but they have always double meaning and are deep, like The True Untold, this song is about love and self-love
the last song really light about this theme was Dimple in 2017 LOL
but even with their past songs this is just 10-15% on 230 songs from their discography 😂😂
uhmm most of their songs are about relationships. Relationship with one's self, relationship with each other, with their fans, with friends, with family, with the society, etc. Relationships doesn't have to be romantic, although they did have songs like those in their old discography.
This reaction was amazing! love to see you vibing to the music and analyzing the lyricsm. lm actually very new to them too and they completely blew away my expectations, mad talented 💜
I am so happy you're loving my boys!!!
6:41 The abbreviated T.E.A.R
Worden's model on stages of grief
T - To accept the reality of loss
E - Experience the pain of loss
A - Adjust to the new environment after loss
R - Reinvest in new reality
"Let's go! What you gonna say?"
RM: "I show you myself." *and starts rapping about his tears when BTS was about to break up under the stress in the early -18*
They are really worth the hype.. there's nothing they cannot do i guess.. will be happy if you become an army also😁💜💜
It’s not really anger… it’s more heavy frustration, lots of pent up emotion, and pain.
Fable thank you.. it was amazing to listen BTS with you 💜
Love your reaction! Anw, the song is actually about themselves, it was written when they were thinking about breaking up. The lyrics are about the members.
Pls do "An introduction to the 7 members of BTS - 2021 update" by Ida S 🙏 new and great video to get to know them
Let's go to "On(Kinetic manifesto flm)" and "Mic drop"! You will see their versatility!!! For the live performance, this is not even their best performance😅 You will be amazed if you watch these : MMA 2018 & 2019 (MMA is the Korean award show, and you will see what they really can do on the stage)
Thank you for your open mind and giving chance to BTS! If you had no prejudice, you would meet the whole different level. I'm ur new subscriber to be your journey!
The songs that sound like love sounds are usually about ARMY. As people say in the comments, it’s about the group once talking about breaking up. They almost NEVER do songs about romantic relationships.
They never TELL us it's about romantic relationships.
They do have songs about being romance. Just not as many as people assume. Also, they have many songs that have multiple meanings.
The reactions are amazing, man, thank you. I had a great time.
Hola Fable gracias por hacer reacciones para el mejor cantante del mundo Dimash!!!!!, te faltan pocos temas, los dear esperamos ❤️🇵🇪
This song was written when they were thinking of disbanding in 2018.
Thanks for reaction.
TEAR BTS is amazing, important rap song for Us.
Very Special song for Us.
Lyrics about very hard time for BTS and ARMY.
They are angry with themselves.
Year 2018..very hard year for BTS.
Best Awards and Top, but still haters and hostility.
Finally BTS talked about disbanding the Team!
BTS are Together for 2010, 2011.
Starting with one room for Their 7.
Always Together.
training, practice, perform, programs, eat, sleep, relax and more....
For the year, maybe a few days were apart.
So...
It's not a band anymore, it's a Family.
BTS became Brothers to one another.
and
Suddenly They would be separated?!
I Think...
It was a time of despair and pain....
and
We (ARMY)...didn't know anything...
The greater shock and pain We felt knowing, that They were
struggling with it themselves.
Watch and listen final speeches
MAMA 2018.
So...
TEAR is very Important, very Emotional and very Special song for Us.
I Hope...
You watch and listen more BTS songs.
I Purple U All.
Be Safe Everyone.
Crazy good. Superlatively good. Mind-blowingly good.
One of my favourite BTS songs! Power!! Thanks for your reaction. Glad you liked it.
RM 👑SUGA 👑Y JHOPE 👑
Love the fact your now reacting to BTS!! Army will love your reactions 🥰
I’m a huge twenty one pilots fan and have been a BTS army for almost 2 years! Once you delve into the BTS rabbit hold you won’t ever want to get out haha
Global superstars! 🔥🔥
There’s so many I could suggest you react to but I would definitely suggest Mic drop, fire, on and Ddaeng xx
all members cried when they listen to this for the first time
Love yourself series albums is a masterpiece
Multidimansional 🤯🤯💜💜
BTS 💜💜💜💜๑◕‿◕๑
After watching your reaction to TTU, this would have been what I would have wanted you to react to next...I am so looking forward to watching this, thank you 🙏🇿🇦
I like your reaction! Please, check more BTS music and performances. I recommend Ddaeng and Ugh live. Also Singularity, Stigma, Lie, Epiphany, Euphoria live or MV (not all of them have MVs but they all are fire live). These at solo work by vocalists
It was about their disbanding decision in 2018 but they back off because of ARMY
FUN - THX’s FIL ❤️🥒
OMG that was fire
Me : no. That's outro tear
Hi, please react live UGH bts 💜💜💜
I am sad you picked of all live performances of Outro: Tear out there this one. Looks like a shitty recording in full sun light :-( Don´t get me wrong, it is still a dope song ( one of my absolute favorite ones in their discography) but seeing it being performed in Wembley in the night with neon green laser beams highlighting the stage and all of them in full black - a totally different experience. Concerts in the evening hit differently than the ones in blazing sun shine :-()
The song is not about any dear or anyone particular. It was written by Suga ( the same guy that you reacted to in Daechwita / = AgustD is him) during their "existential crises" as a group in 2018 when they were all physically and mentally burnt out and were considering disbanding. The song is about that.
You are right - many people mistakenly think of them as a stereotypical boy band with sugary, superficial songs about chicks and heart breaks. Not BTS mister :-) Their rap line is the best out there even if many people would disagree. Their musical variability is insane and they are never afraid to experiment and try new things.
I hope you find more songs to your taste.
I actually think that this version is better (musically) than the Wembley version. Wembley was visually awesome but I think the rap line gave a better performance here than they did at Wembley.
You have missed their best song/video ... Mic Drop .. do it do it :D
Which one 👀👀👀👀 I want to do it
@@traktician Mic Drop.. the Steve Aoki Remix video... then check out their dance rehersal video on it... a.m.a.z.i.n.g. in my opinion the best dance breaks and video.. not to mention the rapthingy lol rumor has it the mic drop idea came from obama's mic drop moment but the actual context of the song came from all the haters and naysayers about BTS back in 2017 I believe it was... it was their response to those critics..
You see, i like you because even if u had some prejudice (it's normal, many of us were like you before listening to them, thinking about some boyband usual thing) but you have an open mind and u are enjoying the journey!
There are some hip hop reactors, like Nolifeshaq, that i love, but that they say to their fans (this 1 year ago) "Don't worry i will never react to that bts shit" cause they are afraid of toxic fans. I think every fandom has toxic fans, eminem too, tom MacDonald has some crazy fans too... I hate their prejudice, cause they say those things without knowing What these guys are all about!
So sad 😥
Thank you for your reactions 💜
Fil, o Clique ficará com ciúmes!! Fil, The Clique will be jealous!! 🤭😂😂
Please reaction to song bts dimple and paid paper live ,so what live,mickrocosmos live,love yourself answer and magic shop live 💜 army from Africa 🌍 somalia 🇸🇴 💜

Thank you April!
Thanks for your great reaction! 💜 I like your reactions because of your commentary, you don‘t just bop your head to the music. I hope you can react next to more videos about the band and the members. They all are mad talented, passionate about their craft and their fans, inspiring people and on top of that funny af. Some recommendations to get to know more about them:
- This is BTS by xceleste
- An introduction to the seven members of BTS (2021 update) by Ida S. It is one of the newest introductions and based on their artistry. She reuploaded the video a few days ago.
Greets from Europe!
Try to react to bts tiny desk concert and bts room live
Amazing performance 😘😘😘🥰🥰
Pls do "An introduction to the 7 members of BTS - 2021 update" by Ida S. Great video to get to know them. It’s new and up to date
omg !
You need to react to Mic Drop... it will blow you away.. the choro is amazing and they go hard on it... seriously do it
REACT TO BTS OTRO: WINGS SATGE MIX PLEASE 🙏
their versatility is amazing.. the vocal line is great as you've seen in your previous reaction, the rap line is fire as you've witnessed here and as a group they're another level too... and i don't even have words for live performances..hahaha what's not to like.. that's why i don't understand all the hate towards them, its just so sad..
Pausing frequently during an artist's performance/track is like a chef trying to cook a dish, but the diner keeps tasting it WHILE the chef is in the process of cooking the dish. Instead, try just watching/listening all the way through the first time. Then, pause to make your comments a second time through. Just a suggestion.
lol "spitting like a llama"
React to Polish Metal Alliance - Stars.. Please..!! 😁😁
please react to BTS Love yourself ANSWER live! it's such a beautiful song!
There are so many intoduction videos about them and their journey. If you can pls react to Who is Bts by Xcelest and BTS Most beautiful life goes on.
