About the Song
An explosive and defiant anthem, 《Not Today (Japanese ver.)》 stands as a high-octane highlight of the 2018 Japanese studio album FACE YOURSELF by the global icons BTS. Published under the banner of Def Jam Recordings, the track was meticulously crafted by a powerhouse production team including Pdogg, “hitman” bang, RM, Supreme Boi, Adora, and june. Melding heavy hip-hop beats with aggressive synth textures, the song serves as a powerful motivational manifesto, urging resilience and collective strength against oppression. This Japanese iteration preserves the raw intensity and cinematic scale of the original, further solidifying the group’s identity as cultural revolutionaries who champion the underdog through sharp, impactful vocal delivery and sophisticated soundscapes.

A day may come when we lose
But it is not today Today we fight
But no not today そうはさせない今日は
No no not today まだ終わるには too good day
But still part of this world
EXTRA + ORDINARY よくあるけども
SO WHAT?今日は止まるな まだ
新世界の向こうへ
Oh baby yes I want it
飛べないなら走れ Today we will survive
走れなきゃ歩け Today we will survive
歩けなくても行け 這ってでも gear up
