About the Song
《Spring Day (봄날)》 is a deeply moving and beautifully restrained track by BTS, originally released on YOU NEVER WALK ALONE in 2017 through BIGHIT MUSIC and later included on Proof in 2022. Written and composed by Pdogg, RM, SUGA, and “hitman”bang, the song pairs quiet sorrow with gentle hope, turning longing, distance, and the ache of missing someone into something timeless and deeply human. With its elegant melody, emotional warmth, and lasting sense of comfort, 《Spring Day (봄날)》 remains one of BTS’s most beloved and meaningful songs, and I would strongly recommend it to listeners who appreciate the group at their most heartfelt, poetic, and enduring.

Here, it’s all winter
Even in August, winter comes
My heart runs through time
The snowpiercer left alone
Holding your hand, I want to go to the other side of the earth
I want to end this winter

My heart runs through time
The snowpiercer left alone
Holding your hand, I want to go to the other side of the earth

But I never forgot you, not even for a day
Honestly, I miss you, but I’ll erase you now
Because it’s less painful than resenting you
