“Spring Day” was written by RM and Suga about their experiences of missing someone close to them, while using the metaphor of the seasons to discuss how things always get better, much like spring after a long winter.

The song also draws inspiration from the novel The One Who Walks Away from Omelas, which is also referenced in the music video.

Many fans also believe that the lyrics of the song were inspired by the tragedy of the sinking of the MV Sewol. BTS and Big Hit Entertainment donated 100 million won (approximately $85,000) to the Sewol Ferry Disaster 416 Family Council, though there has been no official confirmation from the band that the song is related to the tragedy.

“Not Today” revisits the band’s anti-establishment theme from prior songs, and urges underdogs to continue fighting.

RM helped write the lyrics for this song as well, and the music video features the group dealing with masked assailants.
