BTS songs to help you get through the pandemic

1. Life Goes On

The band really captured the essence of day to day life whilst isolating. It felt like the world came to a complete stop so suddenly. We weren't allowed outside and for many, mental health went downhill. Life Goes On really captured the feeling of being stuck, but reminding us that life continues and there will be a day where we can go outside and see other people again. The steady, calming melodies really help ease the slight anxiety that others may feel.

2. Magic Shop

This one holds a special place in my heart (not to be biased). Magic shop is like that place people go to where they feel safe, where all their dreams come true and everything that once appeared difficult, is no longer hard to deal with. This song provides fans with that safe space to go in and enjoy BTS' music. It serves a comfort to them that the band will always be there to comfort their fans in hard times.

3. You Never Walk Alone

For those who feel lost and completely alone, this song will speak to you. There is always someone there to hold your hand and say "it's going to be okay", and this song does just that. BTS reminds fans that even if they feel alone, BTS will walk with them and support them.

4. Dynamite

If you're looking for something to get you up and having a solo dance party, this is the tune for you. Released in the midst of the pandemic, Dynamite provided us with the upbeat tunes we needed to feel great. Trust me, put this tune on, pump up the volume, and dance in your kitchen! Just be careful to not slip (this may have happened to me on several occasions).

5. Fly To My Room

This song talks of being stuck in a room for a long time, which we have all been experiencing recently. It's too small to hold all the hopes and dreams the boys have, but its the safest space right now. It felt like a whole year was stolen and time just seems to be running away. A bedroom may feel safe to a lot of us right now, especially if going outside can seem a bit daunting. We haven't been doing much, just staying inside and hoping one day we can eventually go back to normality, and this song captures that hope. The steady piano and sweet vocals can provide a calming effect (at least for me it did).

6. 2!3!

This song holds significant importance to the fans and BTS as it was made for the fans, and it was also the song where the Purple Ocean Project came to life (look it up on YouTube, you won't regret it). This tune talks of forgetting bad memories, smiling and knowing that there are better days to come. There will be better days, and of course, everyone is going to have bad days, and that is totally okay. I personally found that this particular song helped me through those bad days by reminding me that a new day will always come along and things will eventually get better.

7. Spring day

The song no one can get through without crying (seriously, if you don't cry to this, you are a robot). Known for the tear-jerking effect it has on the fans, Spring Day talks of struggles in the form of a long winter, and eventually coming out of that into a spring. The winter can also allude to longing for someone, and the spring is then meeting with them again and things seem better. During this pandemic, we have to limit ourselves to the people we can see, and we all miss seeing and spending time with our loved ones. This song may make you cry, but it can be relatable in missing loved ones.

8. Love Myself

This song also gets me emotional as it talks about loving yourself. Spending time indoors has provided people with the opportunity to do some proper self-care. This song is perfect to play in the background as you relax, or even if you are having a tough time, it talks of loving yourself, and having reasons to show yourself the love and care you deserve.

9. I'm Fine

An upbeat tune to get you up and having a boogie, I'm Fine talks of being just fine. I think throughout this pandemic, the feeling of fine has just become a constant. The song is upbeat and great for another solo dance party.

10. ON

This one is a great motivator to get things done. If you want something to make you feel great, gain momentum and have a tune to get stuff done to, this is the song for you. With an intense beat and a fun dance routine, it will definitely get you up and going for the day ahead. If you have work, studying or just getting other stuff done, this a great tune get you started. The pandemic has provided us with lots of time on our hands, yet lack of motivation to get all the things we needed to get done. ON will aid in getting you out of that slump and feeling empowered.

I hope these songs provide you with comfort and happiness in this difficult time. Please remember, you are not alone!
