About the Song
《ON (Feat. Sia) (Digital Only)》 is a dramatic and expansive track by BTS from MAP OF THE SOUL : 7, released in 2020 through BIGHIT MUSIC. Written and composed by Pdogg, RM, August Rigo, Melanie Fontana, Michel Lindgren Schulz, SUGA, j-hope, and Krysta Youngs, the song builds on the original’s message of struggle and resilience while adding a heightened emotional edge through its featured collaboration. With a globally recognized artist like Sia attached to the track, 《ON (Feat. Sia) (Digital Only)》 stands out as a bold alternate version that I would strongly recommend to listeners who want to hear BTS in a more dramatic, widescreen, and crossover-driven mode.

Look at my feet, look down
The shadow resembles me
