About the Song
《Run BTS (달려라 방탄)》 is a fierce and adrenaline-charged track by BTS from Proof, released in 2022 through BIGHIT MUSIC. Written and composed by Dwayne Abernathy Jr, RM, Ebenezer, j-hope, GHSTLOOP, Jungkook, SUGA, Oneye, Daniel Caesar, Ludwig Lindell, Melanie Fontana, Michel “Lindgren” Schulz, and Feli Ferraro, the song surges with confidence, hunger, and unstoppable momentum, capturing BTS in full power as they push forward without slowing down. With a globally recognized name like Daniel Caesar among the credits and BTS delivering one of their most explosive performances, 《Run BTS (달려라 방탄)》 is a song I would strongly recommend to anyone who wants to hear the group at their most intense, commanding, and exhilarating.

I was right, in the leaky studio in Nonhyeon-dong
Drinking soju, lamenting my life
The promise I made, if we succeed, they’re all dead
Reason for BTS’s success? I don’t know, there’s no such thing
We all ran like crazy
No matter what they say, we ran
The answer is here, hahaha
