Love Yourself Analysis

1115 Words5 Pages

Another thoughtful and emotional work has been released by BTS, the innovative and internationally famous South Korean boy group. The 7-member group has created an EDM influenced and electro-pop/hip hop EP featuring many upbeat songs, though there’s more to this album than just that. On the tracks, the lyrics largely elaborate on themes such as loving yourself and others, their own fans, whom are dubbed “A.R.M.Y,” today’s thriving, but worried generation, and their skyrocketing international fame. In my opinion, Love Yourself: Her is an exceptionally complex and emotional EP, and I enjoy all the songs and the concept behind it. From my point of view, it’s important for bands to experiment with different and new sounds, which is exactly what …show more content…

Personally, I really enjoy ‘Pied Piper’ and ‘Outro: Her.’ The outro of the EP feels quite introspective, and objectively, the song is about the dangers and truth of Korean idol-fan relationships, especially shown in Suga’s verse. One of the things RM said about the hook was, “The hook is saying that love is not all about the happiness, it's just not just about the joy, it's not just about delight.” In my thoughts, he’s talking about his fans in both his verse and the hook, as he did explain his verse was basically saying that he found love in a complex world, and that they’re his “her,” and also his “tear.” Fans and idols alike can both cause each other to feel delight, sadness, and a range of other emotions. Suga’s verse seems to elaborate more on the reality of fans and idols, stating that he, “can never take off this mask,” and “I’m not the guy you know under this mask.” This line, along with the song as a whole, feels introspective and thoughtful for that reason. BTS is aware that they have to put on a mask for the fans to love them, and that they are not entirely the same people off-camera. Often, fans expect idols to be perfect, which can be a dangerous standard for some idols to achieve, so BTS are reminding the fans, including myself, that they’re all still regular people. Similarly, ‘Pied Piper,’ the 5th track of the EP, fleshes out on this theme as well. However, in this song, BTS takes a more playful and banter-like approach, reminding fans that they’re not their entire world, and that if they obsess too much over BTS, it can be dangerous to their schedules and lives, which is admittedly,

    Throughout history, women have always been considered inferior to men. Women are typically supposed to stay home and care for the children, quieter than men, do not need an education, and are supposed to listen and do what they are told. The men are the ones in charge.

When reading “Taming of the Shrew” by Shakespeare and watching “10 Things I hate About You” directed by Gil Junger, the stereotypes and gender role of Katherine (Kat) and the sisterly relationship between Katherine (Kat) and Bianca come across.

We witness the gay man beaten to death by the anti-homosexual mob and the lover couldn't make it to the scene in time to save him. While this is happening, the soft piano then turns to a louder melody matching the tone that Hozier is singing in. We also see a quick glimpse of anti-homosexual protests on a TV screen.

    Are you happy with yourself?” By repeating this question, the speaker is asking her audience to seriously question their own happiness and if it was falsely cultivated through society’s measures.

    This recording is a classic and inspiring example of the sweetness of pop, the passionate vigor of soul, and the groovy feel of R&B. There are many compositional techniques used to convey message in this song. First there is the bass guitar, which provides the melody throughout the song. It begins with a low pitch, and gradually increases until a climactic rise in the mood of the song during the chorus. This could be a representation of being at the lowest point in life, only to rise from the ashes.
