Guys plead with, “I just want to be happier” while wondering if that’s a very greedy request these days.

As the record goes on, the mood lights up while still being realistic. The funky and funky “Telepathy” song (the closest thing to BTS’s next “Dynamite”) makes the group sing straight to their fans by clever wordplay, describing the connection that one can feel from someone even when they are not physically close. Dis-easy uses ancient hip-hop music because it reflects the troubled times artists go through during the pandemic, even if its end encourages the listener to move forward without fear.

“Staying” is another new song B (Coming before the band ends this Eight songs short with “dynamite”.); It The stadium-ready EDM track serves as a constant reminder for fans to hold it on even with your distance from each other. “Yes, I know you will always be there,” Jungkook sang on the hook, and RM spoke smartly of the way technology keeps the band in constant contact (“We’re calling 7G”), making for a touching moment that is sure to extract fireworks and tears whenever Possible to perform on tour again.
