“Danger” brought back the theme of young relationships. This time, the song expresses the angst of feeling like your feelings are stronger than the other person’s. It also features a sound that’s influenced by both hip-hop and rock.

“War Of Hormone” was released as the second single off the album and was met with some criticism over the lyrics for objectifying women. It even caused them to release a statement admitting that they reviewed the lyrics and realized they could be perceived as misogynistic but that it wasn’t their intention during the writing process.

Since then, Big Hit’s whole team and BTS’ members have taken it upon themselves to meet with experts and read more books when they tackle sensitive subjects.

Personally, I don’t actually find the songs lyrics to be that bad. Though it’s comforting to know that BTS is always willing to take constructive criticism to better themselves.
