Namjoon about Like Animals💜
🐨: Like Animals..
🐨: This was another song that originally came out of the pre-sessions, and it was actually a really sexual song at first. The lyrics were kind of like… you know? ‘If you wanna be animals, baby we can be animals…’
🐨: And then what was the next line again? Something like ‘living in pain is beautiful’ maybe? It had this whole sadism-masochism kind of vibe — basically a song about becoming wild like animals together.
🐨: But we felt that releasing something overtly sexual wasn’t really the right timing for us right now, so we changed it into a song more about drawing out instinct and raw emotion instead.
🐨: Though honestly, I do think going fully sexual with it could’ve worked too. The sound itself already has this naturally sexy atmosphere to it. I personally really love ‘Like Animals.’
🐨: I really like psychedelic music, and this was a style we’d never tried before. Artemas helped a lot with that kind of sound too. We felt like we needed sounds like this to move forward and evolve. We can’t just keep doing the same things we’ve always done. That’s probably what we were thinking.
🐨: But at the same time, performing ‘Attack on Bangtan’ again today also felt really good. Like… wow, this is genuinely exciting. There’s really something romantic about our team. I think that’s what I felt.
🐿️ : “sebelum debut aku mengalami bnyk kesulitan. Aku masih ingat, jungkook kecil menangis dan memelukku sepanjang hari memohon agar aku tidak pergi. Kita menangis bersama saat itu”
🐿️: “aku dengar dari staff kalo jadwal jungkook sangat padat. Dia bhkn mengatur ulang jadwalnya agar sesuai dgn jadwalku, semua agar dia bisa segera pulang dan ikut mengantarku wamil bersama member. Ahhh.. aku membesarkan anak ini dgn baik”
😭😭😭😭
🐨: Because I'm not... you know, I've always been someone who isn't the best at dancing. So, because I really wanted to do well with the choreography for ‘2.0’, I would always arrive an hour before our dance lessons started to practice by myself first. And then after the lessons ended, I’d stay behind for another 30 minutes to practice more for ‘2.0’
🐨: Because whenever I watched Jungkook, Jimin, Hoseok, and Taehyung, I'd think, 'Ah, I really don't want to drag them down.' I wanted to execute the vibe coolly just like them, especially since I have years of experience under my belt too. So I always watched them, analyzed their movements, and analyzed the professional dancers.
🐨: Anyway, it's a song that holds a lot of memories. And so many people showed a lot of love for the music video, too. I think it was a really meaningful song that allowed us to step forward into something new while still keeping an essence that feels authentically like us. I'm also really grateful to Mikey, Charles, Jungkook, Hobi, and Taehyung for this song.
Namjoon about Normal
🐨: Normal is a very sad song. I wrote the lyrics in Korean and then changed it to English for radio and stuff, but yeah, there is a Korean version of Normal. The guys have even recorded the Korean version. Idk if it will ever be out tho. Anyways, kerosene is oil that lights the bulbs. One day you love me, one day you say you hate me fine make me bulletproof, so that I won't die even if you shoot me. There was this keyword of Normal. But what is normal for us? As we live as BTS what is the normal for me? Someday ppl tell me that they love me and the other day they tell me to get lost just like a very toxic couple. Ppl put us high 1000 times and pull down 1000 times too.
"Two sides of a coin and they both ain't true"
Both sides aren't true. Why? Coz both sides are true and both sides are fake at the same time. There's no one who can explain this team called BTS.
"Wish I had a min just to turn me off"
Fine this is the life that I've chosen and all mistakes are mine but I can think about having a min of shutting off from the ppl. This doesn't mean that I wanna give up on my life but I can hope for ppl to forget me for a moment. I think that's the feeling behind writing this lyrics. Now that I see this song is really sad too.
"Fantasy and fame yeah the things we choose"
We're accepting that we've chosen this fame. When we sing this song on stage we sing it as a happy song coz we're singing it together, coz this is the other side of the coin.
NAMJOON ABOUT NORMAL 😭😭😭😭😭😭
🐨: "Living as BTS, I've been wondering, "What is normalcy to me? What is typical to me?" One day people say they love me, and the next, they tell me to get lost. It feels like the outside world the so called public or the people who don't love us. One day they praise me, the next they bring me down, it feels like that is the normal"
