Run BTS the live performance or louder than bombs would be amazing! Also I know you asked for bts, but my current favorite song is by their rapper Agust D/Suga. The song is called "Snooze", it's a very beautiful kind of orchestral rap song he wrote for his junior artists, and I would love it if you could check that one out too

Lyrics are usually the main focus for many bts songs cus a majority of bts tracks often have larger rap sections. Specially for their early hiphop influenced stuff. So I just want to let people know, always pull up the translations for lyrics for bts songs. It's pure poetry. There are literal poets among the members. Specially the 3 rappers who are responsible for the majority of the lyrics.

BTS member SUGA produced this song and some members wrote it (all with their devoted in-house team of course), but this track specifically was made as a gift for fans for their 10-year anniversary this past June, thus why it's more "chill" compared to what you were expecting. The song is a message from BTS to their fans, ARMY. BTS cover every genre - hip-hop, EDM, pop, R&B, etc. Their base has always been hip-hop, as they began doing primarily hip-hop music due to their 3 rappers, 2 of which started underground rapping. You can't put them in a box. With that said, lyrics are the basis of their music. We are fans because of their lyrics and their story. The members themselves even have said that production can be cool and whatever, but the lyrics are for us, so the lyrics are more important. Anyways, thanks for listening! You're not gonna get a generalized opinion of their music by listening to one song, not even ten. Maybe 30... or 50, LOL. They have over 400 songs.

So, even though it's long, you'll have a lot of us tuning in! Keep in mind as you're watching that the guide is more than a year old, so it's missing pretty much everything that's happened since the members started entering the military and they started releasing a lot of solo work. But the guide is a great introduction because it goes over some background and achievements of the group as a whole and the individual members. It will also give you a hint of their discography without spoiling it too much.

How about the Tiny Desk concert for NPR during the pandemic? They cover 3 of their songs, live, mostly sitting down, and you can really get a feel for their vocals.

[@amajinjams6966]

They always are involved with creative decisions of all aspects, most of their songs are written by the members, produced by the members (primarily Suga (yoongi)), composed by members etc. The lyrics for the songs they wrote are pure poetry, word play, honestly they are so beautiful. The major contributor to lyrics and the way they are so poetic is their leader RM(namjoon), he is insane when it comes to wordplay between english, Japanese and korean. He admires art and nature a lot and gets inspiration from books he reads ( a lot of psychological concepts and feelings). Take two was recorded a few gears ago, but was released during festa (a celebration between BTS and ARMY (us their fans)) it is a song to us, for us. Jin and J-Hope are in the military, seving mandatory military service, yoongi is the next one whonis announced to go, but the rest will also be going soon. They have constantly been releasing group work but during this time of military service they have been doing more solo prokects, finally releasing their own amazing albums, continously supporting each others work as well. BTS are a fmaily to eachother and are all incredibly talented dedicated people who have been together for 12/13 years, but their debut was 10 years ago. You will enjoy a variety of genres and new ways of making music the more you listen, watch and read of them. 😊 We (ARMY) are a very diverse community in age, gender, race, nationality, genre preference etc. will be able to help you in any way to learn more about them and us! 😊

Their backstory is truly inspiring and knowing what they went through and still just share positivity is impressive. You will often hear that BTS is not a regular boyband and if you decide to learn more about them you will understand why. They are now on a break for groups activities due to their military service but we are well fed with their solo projects. 😁 We hope for a group reunion by the end of 2025, maybe new music by 2026.

I found BTS in 2020 just as they were starting to promote their Map Of The Soul 7 album, just before the whole world shut down. The song from that album that got me started was “ON” specifically watching the MV “ON: Kinetic Manifesto Come Prima”. Not only are they incredible singers & rappers, they are amazing dancers. Yes, they sing while dancing. They performed “ON” in Grand Central Station on The Tonight Show and Jimmy Fallon said he could feel JungKook’s heart beating through his back when he hugged him afterwards! I agree with the suggestion of watch the Taylor video to get to know the guys of the group and their backgrounds at least a little bit if you are serious about checking out their music. I will warn you that ARMY, the BTS fandom, is really good at recognizing reaction channels who are simply using BTS to build their own YT channels. ARMY is more than happy to answer questions, make suggestions, and guide you through the very extensive /not/ just pop discography of BTS the biggest group in the world right now but they are very very protective of them too.

I am amazed that with your boyband experience and that you have actually written for Kpop that you never listened to BTS before now. Everybody in the Kpop industry looks up to BTS even when they profess to hate them.

[@NathanWalters]

I am familiar with a couple of their songs. But I’ve never dived in too deep until now!

[@MadlyNathan]

Love the song and it’s absolutely crazy how far BTS has come! I am on the search for a new IEM and was curious which set you use?

[@NathanWalters]

I use 64 Audio. They sound so great. Sometime I even mix music in them. Here's a link www.64audio.com

JIMIN JIMIN JIMIN 🎉🎉🥰🥰🥰

[@nixbangtan5356]

Nathan from PLUS ONE?? OMGGGG i was a big fan then and of course til now, your music also heals me. just like BTS your music also saved me, always on my playlist. My faves are BE, THE PROMISE, GOD IS IN THIS PLACE, SOUL TATTOO, WHEN YOUR SPIRIT GETS WEAK, I WILL RESCUE YOU, MY FRIEND, RUN TO YOU, the iconic LAST FLIGHT OUT etc. I'm so happy you reacted to BTS Nathan. Thank you! PLUS ONE and BTS FOREVER 💜

[@nataliacastillo1003]

Super sentimental lo dejaron grabado antes de que se fuera Jin y JHope al Servicio militar asi que es especial

[@heatherg7666]

I just subscibed! Ive been a BTS fan for 6 years, and its great to see your input as an artist and a former band member

[@jocooper1785]

Lyrics are important, but the way the song makes you feel means so much more. BTS transcends past language to do just that.

[@oltzkizze345]

As you come to know them, you will also be amazed by their lyricism. They're not just singing some songs. Their songs tell a story, learn things from it too. 😊

[@theresaf3688]

Oh Jimin and his voice 😂😂 He sounds so pretty. I had similar reaction to you the first time I heard him. I was wondering if there was a female member

[@rdmname]

i love how the guitar at the beginning sounds like gentle waves at the beach, which is super intentional. you'll figure out why on the journey

[@jonzgurl4ever]

I LOVE how you are vibing to it without knowing what they are saying...which is how I used to be....but BTS has such impactful lyrics that you kind of NEED to know what they are saying to appreciate them. I would like to see you react to live shows or MVs vs just a tract as you can see them and get an appreciation for them as well. They have the most amazing personalities

[@sheryl0t7and5]

You absolutely need to keep listening to more BTS. Since music is such a big part of your life, I can guarantee you won't regret it. I also hope you continue to branch out into more music that you're not going to hear over here in the states. We miss out on so much here. Another artist you must absolutely check out if you never have is Dimash Quidaibergen. Again, guaranteed not to disappoint.

[@lizalbuquerque8706]

Nathan… loved your reaction. There was this live performance of theirs in Japan some years ago, the song was Butterfly. Loved it… especially the high notes Jimin pulled off. Almost sounded like an electric guitar.

[@trivialauvs9851]

i loved your reaction so much! BTS are amazing artists so i’m glad you enjoyed the song, hope you discover more 😊

[@NathanWalters]

Thanks! It was fun to share my first listening experience of this BTS song. I'm still learning more about them and super interested now. What's your favorite song?

[@trivialauvs9851]

@@NathanWalters 134340 is by far my favorite! it’s one i recommend to all new armys

[@mpgisbtsarmybaefighting2838]

Hi, nice reaction. Thanks for having an open mind toward their Korean lyrics, THANK YOU. Hope you get to know them, they are down to earth and love music💜

[@eltadcf4636]

Every BTS song has a context… if you want to appreciate it, you have to learn a little more about them. Thanks for Ur reaction! 💜🇵🇪

[@js3839]

Their melodies always feel nostalgic to me. Like I’m remembering something but it’s the first time I heard it. They just feel like home somehow 😊

[@HFConsultores]

My wonderful Co-ARMY already gave you lot insight so I'll just praisse you for this nice reaction and welcome you into this journey. Much love to your way, I'll be expecting your insight as a former member of a group.

[@ehquez3458]

You chose the right thing to listen to- truly congratulations- Army is huge and strong and supportive- anyone who appreciates our boys is loved.

[@sarasaysstuff505]

I think what immediately compelled me to BTS was the way they make the music a visual art form as well. I really love your interpretation of their sound and later I’ve liked watching how your appreciation grows for them as a vocal unit and visual art form. I’ve either been dancing or teaching dance for about my whole life, so as a “so-called” professional, let me say their visuals and choreography are always spot on. I hear a song and see the choreography that goes along with it. They are the literal best of both worlds. The awe inspiring beauty in both sight and sound. That’s BTS.

[@lonehegh8735]

The "feminine" falsetto is the angle voice of Park Jimin. Yes he is mistaken sometimes for a female voice, but his voice is very comforting. You can find lyric videos for all their songs on KZbin. BTS has great vocales, but their lyrics are deep and touches you soul 😊

[@MinTina7]

BTS Festa Room Live!

[@CrisSoriaga]

There are English translations of their lyrics. You will find they are usually focused on positivity, motivating everyone to love themselves. Reason why people appreciate them more because we can relate to them especially those who undergo depression, their songs have touched so many lives and healed a lot or scars.

[@marijamilo8023]

'Yet to come' Proof Live version. Actually just the whole Proof Live set. I think there is 3 songs and you will hear some great bops as well as amazing live vocals ❤🎉

[@Mirian.V.C]

OH i would have loved if you had reacted to the live version they did. It was amazing.

[@inamardesouza]

React to the live performance of this music. Jimin sings harmonies with most members. He has the high notes.

[@deeiandreimanuelmalazarte6529]

its my JIMIN🥰🥰

[@jujoonline8248]

If you want to check out different bands too, than maybe also check out some of these: TXT and Jonas Brothers colab! - Do It Like That TXT - Sugar Rush Ride, 0X1=Lovesong Seventeen - Left&Right, Rock With You, Home, Don‘t Wanna Cry, Super, Homerun BSS (svt subunit) - Fighting (feat. Youngji) Stray Kids - Gods Menu And for girlgroups maybe: New Jeans - OMG, Ditto MAMAMOO - Hip IVE - After Like, Love Dive Fromies 9 - Stay this way

[@mee143]

Reacting live is more exciting to watch...live for this song is much more nice.

[@BrilliantHuman]

The reason this song is called Take Two is because BTS are in, what they call, their Chapter 2 at the moment. They announced last summer that they would be going on a break from group activities to focus on solo projects and then fulfill their 18 months mandatory military service (all eligible men in S. Korea must serve) before reuniting in ~2025. 2 members (Jin & J-Hope) are currently serving and 1 (Suga aka Agust D) just announced this week that he is enlisting. When reacting to BTS it's best to keep an open mind and not try to fit them into a box or category. As we've seen with their solo projects this past year (and something Army - the name of their fandom - has known all along), all 7 members are stand alone artists who shine and all have their own particular sound and genre hence why as a team they really can do it all. Truly, they are a powerhouse. An interesting introduction could be the song Born Singer. They originally wrote it July 2013, 1 month after their debut and released it to soundcloud. It'll give you a sense of their early sound and flavour (and story). There is a stage mix performance with lyrics on the Enjoy BTS More channel. The music itself is from J-Cole's Born Sinner. Last year they were given permission to officially release it. They rerecorded it and included it in their 2022 anthology Proof. There is a live performance available on their official YT channel BangtanTV. That way you can see and hear (and feel) their passion in the early years and how they've matured as artists since then. Would love to see you react to both in 1 video.

[@pacitalumas8435]

My favorite TAKETWO thanks Nathan Walters for sharing its a gift from BTS in their 10th anniversary

[@dumpercastillo1499]

Good high note songs are crystal snow, epiphany, awake …so many!

[@JoanneGarcia]

Thanks for checking out BTS! I hope you end up doing more of their songs - they have a very wide catalog. Here are some suggestions as far as title tracks go: Black Swan, ON Kinetic Manifesto Film, Save Me, Mic Drop Steve Aoki Remix, Fake Love, Blood Sweat & Tears, Spring Day, Boy With Luv. Always go for the official MV's from either HYBE or BangtanTV (their captions are the most accurate). Another great suggestion to start off with is their NPR Tiny Desk or BTS Room Festa Live for an array of their music. Both of these are live performances so you get to know more of the members and their personalities. I hope you end up doing more. It's always cool to get an inside perspective from a former boy band member and also as a producer. Also side note - don't call them a boy band. They're so much bigger than that and ARMY will gently correct you each time. PS - I remember Plus One! I used to listen to you guys when I was a teenager. Very cool!

[@JiminZhai]

Thats Jimin voice❤ sounds like girls voice and Michael Jackson too

[@jeanettasheehy3018]

thanks so much! looking forward to more!

[@BouguereauFan]

Oh, I knew "Plus One" I like "Last Flight Out" I'm 90's generation too

[@BangTanies953]

Always turn on the subtitle it's a must

[@SilverFang95]

Unless it says auto-generated

[@Keisita97]

I know it's a reaction but for many people this song is more than special, it's the last song we have from BTS as a group until they return from mandatory military service in their country😿💜

[@sofiagv95]

"the sun rising, the sun setting, it feels good" Meanwhile ARMY crying their hearts out cause we miss them

[@suzannekilgore6604]

All 3 rappers, RM, J-Hope and Suga have a part on almost all their songs. A few songs just feature the vocal line(4 voices V, Jin, Jimin and Jungkook) j-hope learned to rap after he joined BTS.

[@brenda6466]

Thanks for the reaction! Hope you discover more from them.

[@x.meri.x]

Bts have grown since the start on all levels.ive been a fan since 2014 and they try out all sorts of music. Plus the fact they adres issues that keep everyone busy is their strength.some of their older songs are really good.enjoy them

[@zjdelms]

"is this a duet with a girl?" i said the exact same thing after hearing dynamite for the first time😅(which opened the door for me 😍)

[@capegoat1]

Second voice belonged to Jimin; it has a very unique timbre. Also, ask your KPOP writer friend if second verse was always 'rap', or was that an invention/intervention of BTS. The did start out their very first year of training as an almost hip hop enclave... all rap and no singing. Only later, when the singers arrived did singing get blended into things, and even then ALL the singers learned to sing pretty much from scratch, so it took them a few years to get their shine on.

[@thatkpopsis]

Thank you! You are in for a fun ride!

[@zorak219]

7:25 totally agree with you abt melodies that feel familiar but not ripped off 💯. Also, I loved your song "Last Flight Out" back in the day! So cool to see your reaction to BTS. Hoping to see more!
