Thanks so much for your comment, so now you save my time to see this person saying something that stupid. ♡

[@sandydebord8153]

As others have noted, this is NOT a good representation of their total discography. This song was written by Ed Sheeran. Normally, BTS members have major input into their lyrics and their music production. They have over 250 songs in their catalog ranging from rap to rock to R&B to NeoSoul to Pop and more! My personal favorite song is Black Swan, but after that I simply love all of their music. I would listen to Idol, Fake Love, Blood Sweat & Tears, I Need You, Tomorrow, Butterfly, Lie (by Jimin of BTS), Serendipity (by V of BTS), Interlude: Shadow (by Suga of BTS)….and it just keeps going! These songs would at least give you a decent cross section, but still not all of the genres. What makes most of us dedicated ARMYs is the meaning behind their music. Not every song is deep, but most are. They really advocate for self-love and development and speak openly against socio-economic norms. I really hope you’ll explore more of their music other than their recent English Pop songs. And, this is coming to you from a 55 year old grandmother in the United States. Their appeal is universal!

Just because this dude doesn’t care for the song doesn’t mean u have to explain why this song doesn’t “represent” them. It’s still THEIR SONG AND NO ONE said this song represented them as a whole musically. Stop trying to find ways to push BTS on ppl who didn’t like one song. We know their music is a bop and there’s people who don’t think every song of theirs is not a bop.

@@chatnoir-i8x This reactor is new to BTS, so I was simply giving him information…not “an excuse”. Why on earth would I not try to explain a bit about BTS’ music given the fact that these 7 men literally saved my sanity when they found me just last year. I know that ARMYs are great people and all of my interactions have been positive up to this point. However, I’m disheartened when I see this kind of comment directed to a fellow ARMY. Not the first time I’ve seen this happen, but it’s the first time it’s been directed at me. If you happen to disagree with someone else, or in this case, almost everyone else, that’s fine. But, I think it would be better to just make the comment as a stand alone comment. Feeling like a target doesn’t feel good. BTS, and people who are discovering BTS, make me feel good!

[@lilacxx5461]

Uhm this is just 0.01% of BTS discography. They literally do any genre. If you want to discover their musics then you can check out their songs on their mixtape and the songs they released for free. Still With You, a song by JK, jazzy ballad song was one of fans' favorite, a hidden masterpiece if I were to say. Taehyung has a lot of good songs too like Snow Flower, Christmas Tree, Scenery, Sweet Night and Winter Bear. RM had released many great songs but my favorite will probably his entire Mono playlist, his second mixtape, specially Moonchild. Well, those are just some of my few favorites. Most of the time, I honestly find BTS' bside tracks more amazing than the title track---which has an mv. That's why they said, nonfans don't know how great BTS musics are because only fans knew the hidden treasures of the band and that also includes their hidden tracks in their albums.

I had to laugh at BTS being "sort of popular in the US in the past couple of years." Yeah, I guess...if you define "sort of popular" as six number one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 since the August 21, 2020 release of "Dynamite." Most people call that explosively popular at the very least. You might watch a guide on BTS to get a more accurate picture of this band = their history, their road to the worldwide superstardom they currently enjoy, their immense and very diverse discography (300+ songs, multiple genres (pop, hip hop, neo-soul, R&B, EDM, rock, ballad, trap, and more)). We often suggest "This is BTS: Introduction to BTS" by xCeleste, "An Introduction to the 7 Members of BTS" by Ida S., and "The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS" by The Asian Theory - and be sure to choose the versions updated in 2021 for all three videos.

I liked your genuineness. This song was like a gift by BTS for their fans called ARMYs. It was symbolic of ending of pandemic and was placed in future setting. It was basically to close the English singles trilogy of BTS(which started during pandemic in hope to uplift people) that started with "Dynamite" which came out in 2020 and "Butter" which was released last year. Permission to dance, in a way, was an outro track for this and they delivered it perfectly. They've also performed this song in 2021 UN General Assembly where they delivered speech as well.

Actually I have been BTS army since 2014 and must admit the 3 songs released for the american market, Butter, Permission to Dance & Dynamite are all very simple tunes. Very good songs but also very simple tunes, however BTS themselves have covered a wide range of genre's and range is depths to music, themes, lyrics & vocals. Their complexity shows the more you review the songs. See our fearless leader RM has an IQ of 148 and very good at what he does, his main hobby is reading. One album was based from Carl Jung, one song from Herman Hess novel damien - Blood Sweat & Tears, another was linked in theory to the sewol ferry disaster which killed nearly 300 children which was called "spring day". You have a range of music videos interconnected with a storyline with album released notes etc that all tell of a complexed story called BU Universe. You have heaps of funny moments, behind the scenes, BTS Run, and In the soop there own variety shows, Vlive broadcasts directly to army, dance practices, charity work by both BTS & Army on behalf of BTS. The list goes on, when it comes to their acheivements..

[@morganmariex]

It's definitely because they can't really put much of their own sound/lyrics into the english songs. You can feel that those 3 just don't have BTS's spark as much, especially lyrics wise.

[@jessaramos2992]

If you listen to their music without prejudice then it’ll be a whole other story for sure. I think you need to give them more of a chance in terms of their actual discography as a whole. You have to remember English is not their first language so maybe as a music producer, you could have had more of an open mind and realized that their English songs are really just meant to be fun pop songs. As any other person commenting on here would tell you - their Korean songs are a lot more nuanced & much better representation of them …(obviously , they’re Korean …lol). I don’t know who recommended PTD to you either. Butter/dynamite is a lot better if you just wanted to check out their English singles. “looks like they’re wearing lipgloss…” …never really understand why ppl zone in on stuff like that. You can tell a lot about a person by questionable comments like that one. Not to mention these guys look amazing with or without make up...Plus calling BTS “basic” basing it off on an english single is ….well, pretty funny.

How big of a team they have and what is the production value of their music videos, reality show, and pretty much everything they set out to do? And artists of such caliber and skills, plus the people who work for them and with them, will somehow forget to cut a scene that wasn't supposed to be in the video? The whole one minute of it?

Some of these comments are odd… PTD, butter, and dynamite are all part of BTS’ discography, saying their not good representations of what their discography is would be saying that their discography has a certain sound and I think we all know it doesn’t. These 3 songs that I’m sure you’ve heard all before were part of an era, they were part of BTS’ feel good era were they just wanted some simple happy music that people could easily vibe too. All these songs were made in the pandemic and idk if we would have gotten them otherwise, but BTS simply wanted to cheer people up during these hard times (also hence why they’re in English;. BTS have a lot of different types of music that you may or may not want ti check out, but they don’t have a sound or style that I would associate as being the ‘BTS Way’. Their range is pretty insane when checking out their 300+ songs and you’ll see how different each album sounds. They do the poppy stuff, the do hip hop, rap, rnb, edm, and many many more. I do hope that you aren’t just here for the English stuff cuz I think you would be missing out on the true BTS experience, but trust me and everyone in the comments on the fact that there’s a lot of different sounds to their music.

[@jessaramos2992]

That's the thing...new reactors won't know that dynamite, butter and PTD are meant to be the "uplifting fun songs" in the midst of a global pandemic. I think a lot of ARMYS on here appreciate and recognize what those songs mean and represent - I certainly do at least. But frankly speaking, I do not think any of their english songs represent them to their full potential ...it just represents a part of the full package. Like you said, BTS do not have "a certain sound" as each era is beautifully different than the last. BUT these 3 english singles techincally all "sound the same" because they're generic pop songs...PTD especially. So how would this guy know that these songs are mean tto be songs to cheer people up when he already has prejuidces? The lip gloss comment is a prime example. I always think that if you're going to check out a new artist, espcially a non-native english artist then you should try and have more of an open mind, recognize that maybe songs sung in their native tongue is probably better to check out first or at least acknowelege that their english songs might not exactly paint an accurate representation of them. Take Twice's "the feels" for example ....a full english song and as someone who knows nothing about them, I can tell it's a cute fun pop song but I don't judge the rest of their music from that one song. This guy thinks BTS is "basic" because of one song and it's quite ovious he has preconcieved notions about them. His second reaction to the "Fix you" cover was equally questinoable in the and the way he talks when he' reacts to the video come off as sound backhanded compliments. That's just my opinon though & to each their own. I think we're al in agreement when we know the boys have a wide arrange of music.

BTS offers genres that suits everyones type of music. They also write their songs thats relatable and inspiring. That is how talented these 7 bangtans are. PTD song is a gift from the legend Ed S. given to these 7 legends. Perhaps you may try to browse and react more to BTS. You will not be disappointed. 💜

[@BlazeOfOnePiece]

I'm leaving it here in case you may react to bts more. Dynamite, Butter and PTD are just some fun pop tracks for the world to just enjoy and dance along (you have heard all 3 of them bcs are english not korean so radios have played them). There is no deep meaning to them and are especially a gift to armys. But *The BTS Discography* is what i didn't know i needed in this life. You have such a long way to go with BTS friend. I don't even know which one of the albums or songs to recommend you cos how can i separate masterpieces lol(?!) I think for albums: Map Of The Soul:7 or Love Yourself series or Map Of The Soul: Persona or The Most Beautiful Moment In Life: Young Forever or Wings. For songs: Spring Day, Fake Love, Blood Sweat & Tears, Black Swan, Idol etc (those are MVs), i can recommend you a thousand b-side tracks that can take your breath away but it's better to start off with MVs.

[@paulas7191]

Wow. Your reaction made me laugh out loud. Lip gloss !!! This is the biggest boy band in the world. Over 250 songs and many genres. Look around and try again.

[@violetastoykova-jakobson9278]

I vote for BTS to name their next album "Lip Gloss". It wouldn't vibe with "BE" or all the other brilliant ones they have gifted us, but it will shut down the moronic makeup debate forever. And that is coming from me - a woman who doesn't wear a speck of makeup.

[@geumpaudel8681]

You called this basics but this song represents many hidden things for people which you can't understand 💜

[@sariel8406]

BTS has nothing to prove anymore.

[@angelamariaramirez2707]

Reacción innecesaria. No entiendo la manía de cada productor musical de reaccionar a las canciones de BTS, sólo para enfocarse en 3 singles en inglés, sin tomarse el trabajo de conocer toda su historia y más importante todavía su discografia. El que sean productores certificados no les da el mérito necesario de juzgar un estilo musical de una grupo que lleva más de 8 años de carrera y que se ha luchado el lugar que tiene ahora. Solo hizo la reacción porque creo que ahora es moda reaccionar a todo, pero el prejuicio con el que la hizo le quita el sentido de que sea un músico. BTS es más que 3 canciones en inglés tiene una discografia llena de experiencias personales y temas super importantes.

[@csaulpaugh89]

All I am going to say is to watch BTS Room Live.

[@barbaramesquig]

Thank you for your reaction! This song is not one of my favorites, but I love to sing along with it and also it was important to me in that time. Was really what I was needing during pandemic, so I totally see what you are talking.

[@mammak990]

I'm trying to be respectful here...but please move on and go "react" and give your 2 cents to another group. To understand BTS music you must first understand BTS. Walking in and PTD being your first and your comments are disrespectful to their artistry and to their person. PTD was chosen by them for a reason and one that unless you know, any critique is baseless. For one, PTD, to see it LIVE on STAGE, is a kick arse song to close a concert too. Either dig deeper or hang your boots up, mate.

[@tonniatran5681]

Yes, they Do wear lip gloss!

[@dardarmissesv]

Youre a producer yet first thing you noticed is V’s lipgloss. I guess my man’s handsomeness is too distracting for you

[@roseyll5083]

More of BTS songs please….you’ll love them. 💜 Fighting!

[@alienblade7031]

PTD is entirely in English and closer to American pop music. In this song, the choreography was specially simplified so that many could repeat it, the dance uses sign language for people who are hard of hearing.

[@dreamblue3207]

So now react to mic drop to change your opinion about BTS.

[@pyang46699]

Okay @ 1:00 the MV did not even start yet and you couldn't even pronounce the labels name. It's not Byeheee... it's even in English BIG HIT" lol. I have yet to even watch the reaction but why do I feel like this is going to be a disaster...

[@jazmin72009]

Permission to Dance was written by Ed Sheeran. It's a song to cheer people up. Of course BTS have a discography of 300 songs, of different styles, in which they have all participated, in lyrics, music and production. So PTD is not fully representative, it's just an English song. (My opinion)

[@JeonJungkook-wr4yr]

They did sign language as well for the the people who are deaf basically and it's such a beautiful song I love it. Plus the masks were pre pandemic.

“I’m here to react from a music producer’s perspective...... he is wearing lip gloss” 🥴😳

[@bfmusic74]

Permission to Dance will serve as a gift dedicated to ARMY on the fan club's birthday, July 9, 2021. The day that BTS' fandom was officially christened ARMY. It was written by Sheeran along with Steve Mac, Johnny McDaid, and Jenna Andrews, and produced by Mac, Andrews, and Stephen Kirk. BTS And Ed Sheeran's ‘Permission To Dance’ Lyrics Are Your Reminder To Let Yourself Feel Good. As BTS told Zane Lowe of “Butter” and its purpose, via an interpreter, in May, “We wanted to create a song that's really upbeat, that's a really summer song that, as you said, it makes people happy and go out and dance. That's what we want to do. We wanted to have a summer song that can heal and console people. That's why we chose this song and that's why we decided to release this song. This is a really fun song so when we finished recording it, we all listened to it together. Then we were saying to each other, ‘This is so great. This is such a fun song.’”

[@nancyhennes]

I'm gonna enjoy watching your future reactions if all you've heard from BTS is their eng songs. Want to play a little game of deconstructing BTS music? Listen to Ddaeng (it's produced by SUGA one of the rappers of BTS and performed by only the rappers, no vocalists) Want a taste of reinventing the wheel in chord progression? Listen to Lie by BTS, it's a song performed by Jimin, one of the vocalists. Oh, also FYI permission to dance is produced by Ed Sheeran, which is why it sounds very 'western pop' which is not meant in a negative way at all, it just means that it's more familiar in terms of structure to western listeners and music makers. Which is not the case for most of BTS music that's mainly produced by the members themselves 😊

[@nic.art00]

When i first heard this song i was filled with happiness 💜 please react to know more of there songs.

[@borreguitoazul]

I got the recommendation of your video, first I read some comments finding several negatives; personally appreciate the reaction, I consider that above all you have to respect the comments of those who react, but from what I saw I think you enjoyed the song, which is what they intended when it was released. I'll tell you something about the context of this song: 1.- It’s the second collaboration of BTS and Ed Sheran. He gave them the song and the boys liked it deciding not to change it or add rap verses. 2.- For this reason, on this occasion the rappers had to sing. 3.- The hotcakes are related to his previous song "Butter"; and the waitress is relatable to the girl (representing Army) who appears in her TinyTan animations. 4.- The purple balloons that appear throughout the video represent the hope that the Covid will end and to be able to meet Army again (purple is the color with which BTS and Army identify). 5.- The final scene of the video, they did not forget to cut it, are the staff and some directors of their company who were during the recordings. It's part of what they wanted to convey. 6.- It’s a song that they released seeking to give hope to their fans, which is why it premiered on the anniversary of Army (their fandom) 7.- On the day of its premiere there were Armys (mainly Korean) who did not support the song because it was also in English, but it really is a very nice and comforting song. 8.- You mentioned Elton John as the song also does; after its premiere Elron John himself tweeted: When it all seems like it's right, I sing along to BTS. 9.- Most of the choreography was simple for all of us to ask to do it, including 3 words in international sign language: fun, dance and peace. 10.- A dance challenge was launched on youtube that received videos from almost everyone. Elton John also participated and also uploaded a tweet singing a phrase and sending his love to Army. 11.- They recorded a performance (singing live) at the UN facilities, which premiered during the last General Assembly as the closing of BTS's participation in it. 12.- His new series of concerts is called Permission to dance on stage. They started with one online in October, they did 4 dates in LA in November and last December (at Sofi Stadium, selling out); one of the dates in LA was also online; and in March there are 3 face-to-face concerts at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul, Korea, 2 of them will also be broadcast online and the other will be broadcast live, delayed and in repetition in theaters in at least 62 countries

The last scene was not an outtake, it was the staff and crew joining the members.

[@irmawatiagoesman2143]

I like it, as musician, you can find all the chords. FYI, this song made by Ed Sheeran, so now I know that he made basic song also, and it's good, with all instruments included. But, as music producer I'm sure you know that song isn't only about chords, instruments or vocals. The lyrics are also very important, for many people. For example, if you listen to BTS Spring Day, you may say it also has basic chords and structure. But, if you digging the lyrics and meaning behind that beautiful song, you'll be amaze. I really hope you'll react to mooore BTS' songs, maybe ARMY (BTS fandom) will appreciate them because you know much about music, and can learn about the chords from you. Regards fr Indonesia..!

[@glai4608]

PTD is just 0.0001% of their entire discography haha. Better check their other songs and you will realize that you need this "basic" song as you say as a breath of fresh air 😂

[@chriss_thefloorstuffie78]

I agree with the majority of the comments. The 3 English BTS songs are a lot more simplistic compared to the majority of BTS music. Please dive into the more complex BTS discography. Like Mic Drop Remix, ON, The Cypher series, Black Swan, House of Cards, & then all 7 members have solo tracks.

[@yoongichi9557]

I need those simple songs after the past 7 years

[@chriss_thefloorstuffie78]

@@yoongichi9557 I'm Baby ARMY but I am obsessed with the earlier half of their catalog. I've yet to find a track to skip. It's so rare to find artists that still record Intros, Interludes, Skits, & Outros let alone ones that are just as good if not better than some of the full length tracks. But of course leave to BTS to even get that right.

[@bt_honey0864]

Please read the comments, Army will be very glad to assist you to the songs that we think you should react! We will wait for your next reaction to BTS! New sub here. Thanks.

[@archive2500]

I must say you are just late to the party because their recent singles are not my favorites, because right now, they are just doing their own thing for their fans and as an upbeat music during the pandemic. I think they are working on a new album. Their best releases are located in their albums and especially during 2015, their explosion of popularity, and also the songs of the three rappers' projects as trio or as solos.

[@vitaozolina8795]

I think you should listen to the Army advice and try another Korean song...how about Black Swan, Fake Love or On - Kinetic Manifesto Version? BTS is far from what you might think. There is a reason why the fanbase tries to draw your attention to things that really matter.

[@mev9752]

Bts- interlude shadow (full version ) is a pretty good production, also Bts - ON , rain. But yeah the chords aren't that variant but the production is interesting ( the way they mix genres ) specially if you know the lyrics like their song whalien 52 ( use the frequency of the whale they talk about )

[@mev9752]

Also dis- ease.
