BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE Story & Concept Explained: Lyrics & MV Breakdown and Analysis

[@shamelian]

So grateful you did this video so people can understand the intention behind PTD, here's hoping more and more people are inspired by its positivity

[@oranjiifaux3972]

music is technically like a magic shop but BTS teach us not to just stay there but live it out while accepting the fact we’ll go through hardships

[@ddanamoon]

Thank you for making this video! It perfectly explains the concept of the song and the message of positivity BTS wanted to convey.

[@jazminakarainy]

i thought this was just an ordinary happy pop song with no real meaning behind but U r always able to find the true meaning in it. I love this song 10x more now that i watched this

[@oranjiifaux3972]

to be honest same and I didn’t expect bookish theories to get on it so early , but whenever BTS is included you know that there’s going to be some meaning.

[@croissantdelune1]

Thank you for doing this video! You always point out things I missed. One thing I did not notice was the “Disability Resources” sign in the office. When you pointed it out it brought tears to my eyes! I don’t work in that field, but I have family members who have depended on people who do. People who coordinate resources and provide them are worth their weight in gold to disabled people and their families. How wonderful to see them represented in a BTS video. 💜💜 Also for me as an older ARMY who uses a cane, I was thrilled to see the man in the video who was using one. So many wonderful things in this song and video! Thanks from my heart to BTS for the video, and to Bookish Theories for all the great insight! 💜💜💜

Thank you sm for your hard work in explaining them i really enjoy your videos 😭😭💜

[@khadeejataylor2475]

It's been a while since I wrote in the comments section on here. Other than the cowboy concept being similar to TXT and some of ENHYPEN. You really got what the mv was about. Thank you for doing an analysis of this music video. I wondered why Jungkook had two different colored contacts in this music video or concept. The desert doesn't scare us anymore, we have struggles but we can always find the sea. They are facing the desert/struggles with more strength now. It's funny because I had to talk to my family about me not needing their permission to live my life. (This was around the first few days of July). I felt like I was living for others rather than myself and I finally stood up for myself. And this mv came at the right time. I don't know how BTS does it everytime, but it's amazing how well they know what's going on with ARMY and the rest of the world. And Ed Sheeran is very good with writing and producing music, he truly understands BTS and ARMY.

[@AwakeningWings]

@Su'ad Batrisyia Yeah ☺️

[@cluelessangel5292]

Pls never stop making these videos. You are the best theory-channel on the internet!

[@katien613]

I love how you phrase things in your explanations!! Thanks for another great video!

[@noemibernal4882]

Amazing explanation!! So many details were 🤯 The connection with Make It Right through Ed Sheeran, the connection with Spring Day and all the songs with the desert theme, the Disability Resources note that I'd missed, etc. Wow! Grazie mille!! 😄💞💜💜

[@dreester]

Always on point!!! Thank you💜

[@6tribes]

Wow you are good! You made me like the song even more!

[@wondersultan8079]

[@cloudie1592]

Thank you so much for this. 💜

[@sarendipity5926]

I figured out the connection between PTD and Dynamite!!! Cause we don’t need permission to dance Da-na-na-na-na Life is Dynamite 😂

[@nellies-taekook-journals]

This is such an excellent analysis... Thank you so much 🙆‍♀️💜 usa

[@imuniquefangirl]

~crying again~

[@dianarapi6159]

I love it! Thank you so much :3

[@Yami-ss4xi]

Life goes on and Permission to dance are connected basically. One is the continuation of the other but in a more optimistic, happy and even more hopeful perspective I think.

[@teresawalker7275]

When i didn’t see any videos from you for a while, my heart started to wonder. I was hoping you was ok. Thanks so much for telling the world about these 7 humans who God has sent to earth to help us all get through this. Also to remember we are all connected somehow. I hope you understand how important you are to some of us army. Please continue to spread the love BTS is putting out into the world. That message only goes as far if we all stand together. Love you and i always look forward to your sweet message of hope and love. Army Teresa from USA

[@AwakeningWings]

Yeah, that's what I thought those country signs meant in the music video. That we can have these feelings anywhere in the world and we can connect to each other that way. It was so sweet of them to add sign language to the choreography. Yes, I remembered "Spring Day" with the pile of clothes and laundry mat. And they did perform this at the Butterful Getaway. I was wondering why "Spring Day" was one of the songs they performed. I figured it out and realized some things just now lol (I had a strong feeling about "Spring Day." I had a feeling of "Permission to Dance" weeks before it came out. I knew that both songs were important.) I even said they were asking us to 'dance' from the "Butter" music video and they come out with a song called "Permission to Dance." This is what I mentioned in your "Butter" mv analysis: "It's like they're asking us to dance with them. The hand kissing reminds me of that; it's like when you greet someone or the men asking someone to dance with them. It reminded me of their past music too."

[@lilywrites4357]

[@aishanil8031]

[@ForeverAmber_1]

I think she did an analysis of Stigma, but I'm not sure. Scroll back through her videos, b/c the is a lot of awesome stuff in there!

[@eleonoracho5334]

Ģrazie mille. Tu sei la nostra grande Dottoressa del BTS ~!♡♡♡ Sono la ttua fan~~♡♡♡

[@janvi1208]

Omg I'm first 💗

[@oranjiifaux3972]

I love your profile picture , it’s so cute :]

[@MrKyledane]

Ah, see, I interpreted the "2022: The Beginning of a New Era" as a reference to a new album sequence. But I love the interpretation that the new era is when ARMY will get to see them again in concert, and that the Spring Day reference will mean Spring of 2022. I have been holding tickets to see them for almost a year and a half now and it will be one of the happiest days in a long time when they announce those rescheduled dates. Spring is about the best we can hope for at this point.

[@anjanamarakkatteri8617]

And there is Dangelo who says PTD is an anty-mask anthem 😬 Lorrd have mercy

[@shellrock5294]

Just Brilliant.xxxxx

[@minitwink16]

I noticed the laundromat and connected it with spring day
