so heather (@wistfulocean) made the mistake of asking my top 5 bts songs of all time and i went a little crazy i think......who would have thought
i decided i literally can’t just pick a top 5 like...i’m incapable. how do you even compare all of these songs that are all so different? like it was hard enough for just those 34 title tracks the other week...so i’m doing 4 lists. group b-sides, unit songs, vocal line solos, and rap line solos. and i’m gonna be more chill on the whole only sound matters thing lol because there are a lot of reasons why i’m attached to some of these songs. i’ll try to explain them but it won’t always be sound related. the only rules i’m using are 1.) the song must be on spotify and 2.) BTS or a member of BTS must be the main artist.
okay...okay...let’s go!
i’m gonna start with unit songs because those were actually easiest to pick?
1. dimple
look i was really truly...choosing between this song and #2 is basically impossible, i would say they’re tied but i’m giving this #1 because it’s the only vocal line song on here lol. but also it’s everything to me, PERFECT pop song, super catchy AND quality, like it sounds amazing and yet it’s about kim namjoon’s very own dimples. like sometimes i forget what it’s about and then it gets to the bridge and i realize they’re being this dramatic about fucking dimples and i start laughing i just can’t believe it. that continues to be a theme here i love songs that make me laugh. although i do understand them being that dramatic about namjoon’s dimples like have you SEEN them? but anyway the BEST thing about this song, and i’m not sure if i have the words to explain this properly, is all the SOUNDS going on all the time. and they’re all on like entirely different rhythms, it doesn’t seem like any of them go together or with the vocals but then they DO. like it’s incredible to me whoever produced this i love you. matthew tishler (i’m SCREAMING actually this guy writes for like disney channel shows idk how to feel about that) and crash cove. i love you both. and you gave us such a satisfying voluptuous bass line. perfect song. strong power. thank you.
2. UGH! 🤬
the feeling i get when i hear the first few notes of UGH! is simply unmatched. like it doesn’t matter what i was doing or how chill i was before then, now it is time to thrash. when rap line says LET’S GO!!! it is time to fucking go okay??? i am always thrown off by the gunshots though, especially at the end. like what’s the point of those my friends
we’re doing notes for this one she deserves it but this is mostly misheard lyrics the romanization does not convey what i hear or feel in my heart
LET’S GOOOOOOOO
yeah mmm
dungdungdung dongnebugi dwae DUNG DUNG DUNG
those beats in namjoon’s verse idk what they’re called but they sound very old school
doing that one random high pitched word thing that i LOVE
ugh (OH!) ugh (OH!)
gah! gah!
btw i do watch the one concert performance in my head it just can’t be helped
hobi’s part is the best part surprise surprise
it’s the way he brings the energy down and starts out so casually and quietly but he builds it back up so perfectly like THAT is how you DO IT
WUH! WUH! WUH! WUH!
and then he brings it back down again! but it’s so SMOOTH. he’s magical
gah! gah!
and then HOBI doing that one random high pitched word thing that i LOVE sounding like a CHICKEN
scoot!
yawa! yawa! (i imagine this with the spongebob imagination rainbow hand movement. you know the one)
IHOP! IHOP! IHOP! IHOP! IHOP IHOP EATIN AT IHOP!
(ultimate favorite misheard lyric ofc it’s a product placement lmao)
like this song is so funny too but i just don’t have time to laugh about it because i gotta RAGE
ugh (OH!) ugh (OH!)
okay i KNOW you guys don’t have experience with automatic weapons yet
anyway
3. All Night (with Juice WRLD) 😜
i was actually going to have another top 5 list with collabs but i thought that would be excessive and this is also a unit song so i’m just putting it here. this song is one my ultimate faves because of the...i don’t even know if i can call it bass it’s more of like a rumble? like it kind of reminds me of a sound they would use in an EDM or dubstep song but like, super chilled out. and you know how the sound you hear is just your tiny little ear bones rattling in your eardrum? i feel like this sound rattles all of them in such a satisfying way like one of those coway massage chairs. like when you have a part of your body that you just KNOW you have to stretch but no matter how much you do it it feels the same but then one day you FINALLY bend it the right way and it stops? is that just a me thing? that is this song for me i gotta feel it in me ear bones every once in a while to be satisfied. and then on TOP of that the synth just reminds me of like, simply having a wonderful christmastime? not at all a similar song but i get a kind of wintery comforting feeling from that. ummm. i never really thought much about the lyrics until now, looks like namgi are talking about their love for their work lol but like...this is a sexy vibe...namjoon saying “come to my studio, magic happens” “seat-belts are fastened” “we keep ridin’ the whole night hold on tight” in THAT voice over THAT instrumental...he knows what he’s doing. i cannot be held responsible for my thoughts about this. and since there’s no performance or mv or anything to play in my head for this song i have NO choice but to imagine sitting on a basement couch with the artist made mikrokosmos mood lamp by jungkook on getting high with namgi and mayhaps we are eating ramen. before we move on VERY quickly i gotta shout out Juice WRLD for “need an ARMY, marching for your love, i’m a sergeant” because that is hiLARIOUS and “if it’s not your name comin’ up on my phone i won’t pick up the call” as someone who also HATES talking on the phone unless i’m super close to a person. like his whole verse is sweet and his voice is so interesting it’s got like a whininess to it that i wouldn’t expect to fit into the song but it does. i should listen to more of his stuff maybe
4. Stay
the PRODUCTION on this thing oh wow wow wow. again not that i know anything about production. but like, to put this in perspective, i’m not really into EDM or club music or whatever i’m supposed to call this. i wasn’t really into that era of pop music or most of the bts songs with that kind of sound but THIS. SONG. it’s really just the way it builds so smoothly from something so simple and ebbs and flows, it is PERFECT. i will definitely be following that producer (arston) and hoping he does more for bts one day. thank you for finishing out the be album with a bang what do you mean there’s another track on the be album. and then on TOP of that, such a sweet song, great vocals from jinkook, and namjoon’s iconic line “we connect to 7g!” i’ve made peace with the fact that they didn’t sing that part during ptd i can only assume the power of the crowd screaming that line would have been dangerous. power would’ve gone out concert over. cell towers fall down now none of us are connecting to 7g. boo
5. BTS Cypher 4
okay so the thing about cypher 4 is it’s all about “i love myself” right but when this comes on i am not myself...i am in the bts rap line. i am on the wings tour cypher 4 stage, i am wearing hobi’s velvety purple jacket and red sunglasses and the DEMONS haters cannot touch me. this was the first cypher i loved <3
notes for cypher 4?? notes for cypher 4 !!!
also nothing like the feeling of the opening notes to cypher 4 but it’s not rage it’s...unbreakable confidence
truly wish i could punch each and every person who’s ever called namjoon ugly in the face disrespectfully get fucked <3
errything errything errything!
dude this is such a good verse
but you! know my! name!
i love the echoey shouts in the chorus
HOBI’S PART. I LOVE THIS GUY
AHHHHH YOU WANNA BE MY LIFE???
du du du du du du!
no-kay no-kay no-kay!
...ah!...ah!...ah!...ah!...wuh!...wuh!...i love my RUUUUuuuUUUUuuule
CHUUUUUUU
wait hobi’s been into kaws since 2016 omg
this is one of my favorite yoongi raps ever
i’m SO high!
oh my ultimate favorite random high pitched words let it OUT bby
i know (i know!) i know (i know!) i know myself! ya player haters you should love yourself BRRP!
honorable mention to cypher 3 every time i listen it’s always better than i remembered it is JAM PACKED and they shouted “you can’t control my shit!” to the government and unnies call hobi beep beep ig? and based on the information we have available on yoongi’s tongue i can only assume its operated by boston dynamics
moving on
i’ll do...vocal line solos next that’s another easy one
1. Serendipity 💗
no one’s surprised right lol. watching him dance during the performance of this song made me a jimin bias. namjoon’s lyrics are beautiful. and i think the sound just really captures the feeling of infatuation (?) so perfectly. it’s ethereal, and i love! jimin’s!! voice!!! god!!!!! like if i ever hear another song like this ever again i’m gonna drop dead the penicillin won’t help me this time
2. Inner Child
ahhh i’m gonna cry...i love this song so much because i read a really good analysis article on it one time, this might be it but i’m not 100% sure i never remember anything. wait i’m reading it now and i’m crying that’s definitely it. oh and this one too that gets kinda technical with how the production and the meaning work together and the PSYCHOLOGY of it all??? gonna let those articles do the talking but this song is v imp*rtant to me
3. My Time
i remember i didn’t love this song at first, it had to grow on me. him saying “finna find my time” over and over again did not help lmao. but his voice sounds really good and the instrumental is very satisfying. i learned what it was about early on but never really looked at the lyrics since so i forgot how much english was in this song? i guess i’m just appreciating the sound i really don’t care what he’s saying lol but it’s super meaningful! i hope he’s catching up on whatever youth he can these days
4. Sweet Night ⛵
tae has REALLY good osts...i loved it’s definitely you and christmas tree but this song is just...especially relatable for me. it’s the longing and the pining and the fear of expressing your feelings and the wondering if you deserve love from certain people and the not knowing what you have til you lose it. that’s MY thing actually he stole it. and aside from that it’s just a gorgeous song, i love the harmonies, this song would have fit in very well with my vast collection of 2010s sad acoustic music
5. Super Tuna 🐟
yup. one minute and eight seconds of pure trot excellence featuring horrible homemade t shirts and dog toys from target that made me (and tiktok maybe?) a jin bias. what can i say i like the songs that go hard. like it’s so fast i don’t even dance to this song it’s more like a head/fist shake marching wringing out a towel thing. also the way he enunciates everything? the force with which he says palttakpalttak?? what else can that mouth do???
honorable mentions to singularity lie and most of jin’s serious solos they are beautiful.
this is too long already. i’m not even drunk this time. okay rap line solos next. these were hard and the order would probably change on any given day but we’re gonna stick with this for now
1. Change
i can’t help but love this song for the message. i am probably biased because it’s in english so i understand the message well but like, these LYRICS. i don’t really have a comment about the sound it just sounds good and i’m happy about that. thank you namjoon, thank you wale
surprise notes i didn’t think i had anything
wait the intro sounds like some kind of comedy tv show/DCOM background music. like a scene where a character is snooping lol
no it’s definitely me i’m the insane baby
don’t ask me what i eat all day that’s a personal question
nothing’s real wale. nothing.
the BEATS
✨hated by alt-rights! and racist police!✨
yeah for a second i was doubting the #1 spot but no it deserves it
now we’re underwater
no but this BRIDGE
i see progress via my daughter’s eyes 😭 shut up that’s BEAUTIFUL
i believe that real friends love you to no limit! (yeah) i believe that real change lies in the mirror! [britney voice]....yeah
2. HANGSANG 🐶
j-hope said bts forever 🥲 yeah i’m gonna be emotional about hangsang i’m a pisces. but like seriously on top of it being fun, and funny, and going SO fucking hard, i love the devotion to his band <3 i do question his use of the word “thug” though...
this one gets notes it’s too good
he might be saying dawg as in friend too but i’m choosing to believe he’s just really obsessed with mickey <3
SMASH ON THE STREET SMASH ON THE STREET AY
EVERY DAY I’M SO TURNED UP WITH MY BOYS! EVERY DAY I’M SO TURNED UP WITH MY DOG! YAH!
eh! uh!
2018 update: hobi is still obsessed with kaws
walking walking walking...
talking talking talking...
HANGSANG, HANGSANG, TURN UP!!!
TURN MY SWAG NOW I’M BALLIN ON THAT WORLDWIDE
all the fake ass?
nado nado nado nado!
haters better COP out. credit card chops like karate chop CHOP
BTS ROCK BOTTOM YEAH THAT’S MY TEAM!
you’re gonna WHAT hoseok?
okay i forgot about the gunshots in this one like he’s actually talking about shooting people too...hope world is truly full of surprises?
3. The Last
i’m sorry the old min yoongi can’t come to the phone right now. why? oh...cause he’s dead! this is one of those songs that’s less of a song and more of an experience. it’s not like a daechwita or a tony montana where you can just play it for funsies and background music. he’s telling you a villain origin story. he’s giving you EVERYTHING. you gotta pay attention. follow him on this journey and don’t let go of his hand. you gotta stick with him to the last second. okay i’ll stop. i think the lyrics speak for themselves, i don’t really have anything to add there. but overall i just love how the song is like a stream of consciousness and starts and stops a lot like he’s building the suspense! and the guiTAR man i sure do love a rap rock combo. and the breathing. i love breathing. would love to do it someday
4. Intro: What Am I to You?
literally. the MOST. underrated namjoon solo AND bts album intro of all time. every time i see people talking about namjoon solos no one mentions this one and it is so very disappointing. sure, maybe not the best idea to start with that j.cole line but when you get PAST that...i mean he really does take you higher tbh it feels like you’re taking off in an airplane the trippy visualizer got it right. and the VIOLINS i love when instruments travel across genres. and the lyrics definitely have a dark and wild theme but i don’t think its war of hormone bad... he’s ~romantically~ frustrated not sexually lol. okay and then finally i love that he’s like shouting by the end i love the passion and energy especially knowing the following years were pretty hard on him and that kinda goes away with his reflection solo and mono
sorry i have notes for this rap line does this to me
also the school bell (skool luv affair?) and all the voices at the beginning i love things like that in songs
baby you should know you change all of my negatives to positives!
i’ll be KISSIN ya all the TIME girl!
he literally called himself a pokemon 💀 i love this man
the violins!!! or maybe another string instrument idk i didn’t do orchestra
well babe what kind of questions are you asking??
sorry i wanna scream at him lol give UP she’s obviously not interested in/ready for a relationship
edgelord but also he is pleading he is desperate there is vulnerability he is so EMO my BABY BOY
and then the anger 😈
5. Intro: Boy Meets Evil
not *quite* as underrated as what am i to you but we still don’t talk about it enough. i don’t think we ever could. i do see flashes of the mv for this in my head when i’m listening but he says and moves so much in just 2 minutes i literally can’t even process it when it’s happening i’m just staring like 😮 i can’t believe it. i’m sorry he went too hard it counts this time. and again the PRODUCTION. i have to say the beginning sounds like...video game music? you’re in a castle-like lair but it’s before the evil people know you’re there to stop them so they tell you secrets and stuff thinking you’re normal to bad. then that’s some good bass right there. i might have a bass problem actually. and i do like the wubby wooby noises (i really don’t know what that’s called i hope you understand) and the vocal effects. he’s just always doing such fun stuff with his voice. it’s not just an instrument to him it’s a toy! he’s a playful fella even when he’s evil. best boy best villain
honorable mentions to airplane seesaw tony montana give it to me and what do you think?
okay finally we have reached...the group b sides...and literally nothing is hitting the same for me rn so i’m making this list just based on what makes me the happiest which means we have also entered the 🔇NO TASTE ZONE🙅♀️ #notastetuesday #iwrotethisontuesday #idkwhenimgonnapostit
1. Converse High, Whalien 52
this isn’t a tie or anything these are my babygirls they’re twins actually and they can’t be separated sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ this is my EXACT bts comfort genre okay? very nostalgic, sounds REALLY good, but the lyrics...there are a lot of bts songs with funny cringey lyrics but there is just...something special about these two. they’re very important to me because it shows these boys were willing to sing about ANYTHING. no limits. they weren’t too proud! they left their egos at the door! that is dedication to the craft if i’ve ever seen it.
oh you KNOW i’m doing notes for these suckers
Converse High 👟
yeah...(wassup)...yeah [chuckles] oh yeah...yeah
con! verse! high!

namjoon i love you you GET IT. fuck a designer brand if i pay more than $50 for a pair of shoes it is with tears in my eyes
hobi said gay rights <3
petition for hobi to do his sound effects for all the hollywood movies
hobi sweetie we can tell namjoon i have two feet hands 😘
soaked into??? lmao
why not converse lows? too much ankle? too slutty?

fun fact: yoongi hates converse
yoongi being the fashion police in this song is actually the biggest plot twist in history
fun fact: yoongi likes basketball
i can take my own shoes off actually thank you very much...
this song is weirder with all the feet stuff recently sorry
conver-sigh
Whalien 52 🐳
fun fact: namjoon loves whales
yeah
the most lonely creature in the world
(i’m a whale)
do you wanna know my story?
(yeah)
i never told this to anybody
oh FUCK that!
yoongi pls
lonely lonely lonely whale!
also if you tell me you’ve listened to this song and never tried and failed to hit the whale note in the chorus i’m not gonna trust anything you tell me ever again
(that’s gotta be pitch shifted right...right???)
no more! no more baby! no more! no moooore!
so catchy
these lyrics are so fucking emo i can’t believe
believe in my hertz 💀
namjoon has so much passion!!!
i’m a whalien
i love this so much you don’t even understand i love bts i fucking LOVE bts
where’s the grammy???
2. Miss Right, 24/7=Heaven
oh i know....i know i know i know i know i know. MORE twins?! i was surprised too when i found out. again, these songs sound SO good and nostalgic, but dear lord their lyrics...in a different way than converse high and whalien. again i just love them because they make me laugh

new pickup line: if time was a share named you, i’d invest in it
i saw someone say hobi is most likely to do matching couple outfits i think this is proof of that
i don’t wanna say no more! feel like i don’t wanna say more!
3. Your eyes tell 👁️🗨️
okay i do have one serious one...these japanese songs man...so GORGEOUS. the vocals in this one are just INSANE and it’s just really fun to sing. and the lyrics 🥺
4. So 4 more/2nd Grade 🎓
this song is...it’s BAD. it’s objectively bad i admit it. they went into the recording booth for this and the producer was like “okay guys for this song you gotta get into the mindset of a second grader” and they really took that to heart. it turns out bts were really annoying second graders. but as someone who identifies as annoying this song only makes me stronger. and my GOD does this song go hard and it’s so fucking funny and the gunshots just don’t bother me as much because i cannot take anything in this song seriously.
notes
oh god this instrumental is insane
oh so they do mention trigger pulling i guess the gunshots are thematic...but at what cost...
STILL EVERY DAY bang it bang it! B̵̨̯̭̬̯̄͒͆͘ͅͅA̡̱̲̣̣̔̒̀͗ͤ̍͜Ṉ̢̱̜̮̹ͥͬͧ̀͛͛G̡̦̳̯̰̠͓͕̀ͥ͐̓ I̞̻̫̞̱̥̘͐͐̏ͮ̇T̲̓́̂̈̐̈̒̂͆͝ͅ B̴̳̟̭̹͍͙̩̐ͮ̐͢Ą̴̷̢̲̹̼̟̪͗̄̔N̪̭̻͚̻͚̎ͣ͂ͦ͛̚Ğ̺̳̥̙̫͊̅̊̚͢͜ Į̴̤̰̻̰ͨ̐̇̏̉͆T̵̷̡͕̮̉̀ͤ̍̌̃͛
burn the stage
like they aren’t singing they’re...i really don’t know what to call it i think they have to invent a new word...they’re like cats fighting or something
me too namjoon i may be short but my heart is tall <3
ahhh shit
[student voice] will there be a test?
me 🤝 namjoon “i do as i like for now, please leave me alone”
work it out! work it out!
burn it up! burn it up!
so many gunshots 🤦♀️
fun fact: yoongi is a little brat
TURN UP
this is the start of a new age 💀
what was your thing in second grade yoongi’s was thinking he’s hot shit mine was making paper dinosaur finger puppets ✌️
ummm i promise i love this song lol
5. Hip Hop...Lover...
okay so what i love about THIS song aside from how funny it is is that it’s literally “what i learned at hip hop school is...” because if i remember correctly they were recording this album while they were in LA for american hustle life and it’s like...this is them saying that they really know and appreciate the genre they’re making music in, the history and culture behind it, the artists who came before them, etc. like yeah it’s dramatic and cringey but it was really cool of them to actually do that because i don’t think a ton of hip hop/hip hop inspired artists whose lived experience was far removed from the roots of hip hop do that to my knowledge? idk if that makes sense. but on top of that, the song does sound good! super catchy melody AND you get to laugh
notes
people wonder why we love this h i p h o p...shit...
it was a NEW WORLD
people keep ASKING baby WHY you love that hip hop SHIT
IT’S CAUSE IT’S HIP HOP
me 🤝 namjoon “i was like an old lady”
[teenagers trying way too hard to be sexy voice] i’ll be down for your rap...i’ll be down for your rhythm...
yeah i love this HIP! HOP!
rap dance and singing skills
hope world est. 2014
oh namjoon trying too hard to be sexy too lmao
the drama! the passion! you’re gonna love the arts in philadelphia hip hop
honorable mention to dionysus paradise crystal snow paldogangsan where you from and hold me tight
okay this post was once again ridiculous and if you’ve gotten this far i do feel like i have to give you an all up top 5...so i’ll pick 5 but don’t you DARE ask me to put them in order
dimple
UGH!
Serendipity
Miss Right (but she misses her twin dearly </3)
Boy in Luv
please ignore that boy in luv was #3 on my singles list a couple weeks ago new month new me i’m constantly changing ever evolving growth mindset you know how it is
so to conclude:
my favorite bts songs will make me laugh or make me cry or i just need it in my earholes. if i ever find a song that does all 3 at the same time i’ll let you know
i’ve been told some newer fans don’t really listen to the older bts songs and i just gotta say they’re REALLY missing out
i love my silly little kpop boys <3
oh right i was going to make this a tag game...i’ve never really started a tag game before idk what to do haha. obviously you do NOT have to go as crazy as i did nor would i recommend it BUT if you’d like to give your top 5 bts songs or do lists for the subcategories like i did i will tag @wistfulocean @jiminsproof and @joon-rkive no pressure though just payback bby!!!
anyone else can play too ofc! VERY interested in what other people’s faves are because i refuse to believe the polls they did in that one run episode are accurate
#about me#tag: i'm it!#(kind of)#wisftulocean#jiminsproof#joon-rkive#less than 5k this time...is this maturing?#ily guys if you don't want to read my top 5 is at the bottom <3#i didn't replace whalien 52 with miss right what are you talking about it was always there#i can't stop laughing sorry
