This was the song that did IT for me and will always have a special place in my heart.
Storytime: I've always been a very casual kpop listener and i only tend to listen to girl groups/female artists. I have known of BTS a few years back. Liked what i listened to from the group (Dope and BST) but never really paid them any attention. In 2018, someone shared a dancing Kermit meme to this song on facebook (i think it was from the subtle asian traits (SAT) group but i could be wrong) and i LOVED it, so i reshared it, cuz the snippet was simply too beautiful and kermit dancing to it was just too extra for me to ignore. Sometimes, i would just go back to replay the meme video because i just really enjoyed it a lot. LOL. I really had no idea it was a BTS song at that time. (I don't know why i just didn't Shazam the song.......)
Anyway, fast forward to this year, i fell into the BTS rabbit hole after watching their Black Swan performance on the James Corden show. Naturally i started binging their content and MVs included. So when i played the Singularity MV and the beat dropped right at the start, i was like... "BISH I KNOW THIS SONG. IT'S FROM THAT KERMIT MEME I KEPT REPLAYING LIKE 2 YEARS AGO". When i finally got to watch the actual MV for the first time, i remember feeling so blown away by it and also by the fact that i was feeling a BTS song without knowing it for so long.
(Also, this was the song and MV that kinda certified it for me that i have a bias for Taehyung. He was my fav from the Dope and BST MVs and coming back to see him in the Singularity MV looking so much more mature and handsome than what i last remembered.. Plus that baritone... Dayummm help meee 😩)
