BTS: Permission to Dance

Permission to Dance was released through Big Hit Music and Sony Music as a stand-alone single, even it could have most definitely be part of album or album series. The song was also included as part of the CD release of the group's previous single "Butter", and is the band's 3rd English-language single.

Permission to Dance, as name says, is a catchy and wonderful hit that just makes you wanna dance. It is fun and makes you smile, and cheers you up in your bad days. The MV is really amazing too, and the choreography too. It's in English too, again which I like and fits this specific song. I can listen for many times!

This is a little out of my depth but I'm going anyway. BTS came to a wider public attention when they made a speech and performed the song "Permission to Dance" on the United Nations headquarter on September 2021 during the annual meeting. Those who knew them loved it; and those who didn't had to research more about them. A nice performance on the empty gathering room and surroundings but the real clip for the music is a more colorful one with the group members dancing along with several amusing extras. A bright colorful we all needed in the darkest of times of restrictions and limited actions.

Not really my cup of tea but I liked the real enthusiasm presented, the folks involved and how natural it all goes with everyone; not to mention the song is incredibly catchy. While the song talks about happy times and to one get lost and let loose while dancing, the group managed to evoke our good times as human beings and to make a speech about sustainability at the UN. It's only when we move towards progress of the world by caring about our environment that we can be united and enjoy the dance. That's important. 6/10.
