About the Song
《Boy With Luv (작은 것들을 위한 시) (Feat. Halsey)》 is a bright and effortlessly charming track by BTS, originally released on MAP OF THE SOUL : PERSONA in 2019 through BIGHIT MUSIC, and later included on MAP OF THE SOUL : 7 and Proof. Written and composed by Pdogg, RM, Melanie Fontana, Michel Lindgren Schulz, “hitman”bang, SUGA, Emily Weisband, j-hope, and Halsey, the song turns love into something light, joyful, and full of everyday wonder. With a globally recognized artist like Halsey adding to its appeal, 《Boy With Luv (작은 것들을 위한 시) (Feat. Halsey)》 remains one of BTS’s most refreshing and widely beloved songs, and I would strongly recommend it to listeners who enjoy the group at their most playful, polished, and irresistibly uplifting.

let me fly
Sometimes I unknowingly put in strength
The sky got higher, the hall got bigger
Sometimes I prayed to run away
But your wound is my wound
When I realized, I vowed
With the wings of Icarus you gave me
To you, not the sun
Let me fly
i’ve waited all my life
ne jeon-bu-reul ham-kke-ha-go sip-eo
oh my my my oh my my my

The lyrics describe a shift from seeking grand, heroic achievements to finding true happiness in the small details of a loved one’s day. It portrays a genuine devotion where even the most trivial habits and interests of the other person become remarkably special and significant.
