When you hear the word K-pop, seven faces and one name pop into your mind. Those seven faces - RM, J-Hope, Jin, SUGA, Jimin, V, and Jungkook - together make the global phenomenon known as BTS. They are not just players in the industry; they are the game itself. When it comes to writing songs that are not only catchy but deeply meaningful, no one does it quite like them. It's no surprise they top charts with every release; their discography is truly on another level.So here are BTS songs ranked from 5 to 1. Narrowing it down was no easy task, because let's face it, every BTS song hits differently.advertisement5. Blue & GreyI had a really hard time choosing this one, because honestly, there are so many to choose from and so many that deserve to be on the list. Blue & Grey stands out because it speaks directly to the quiet moments we often hide from others. It's soft, almost whisper-like, and beautifully written. The emotion is raw, and the simplicity of the arrangement makes it all the more powerful. It's a song for anyone who's ever felt a little lost or overwhelmed, and in its own way, it's deeply comforting. This one is my personal favourite for when I feel blue on grey days.
4. Permission To DanceThis one's more than just a catchy pop tune; it's a celebration. Permission To Dance is all about joy, freedom, and coming together, no matter who you are. What makes it extra special is the choreography, which uses sign language to spread a message of inclusivity. It's a reminder that dancing and smiling shouldn't need permission – we all deserve moments of happiness, even in tough times. It's BTS telling the world: let go and live a little. Also, they performed the song at the United Nations, which no group has ever done. So, I think it's valid when I say this song deserves the 4th spot. 3. ButterButter is slick, fun, and an instant mood booster, and deserves to be 3rd on the list. Why? From the very first beat, it's got that irresistible charm that makes you want to dance along. It's playful, confident, and packed with personality. No wonder it's a fan favourite – it's the kind of track that never fails to lift your spirits and get you moving. Just smooth like butter, it swiftly slides onto your playlist and into your mind. You know when your mind buffers, and you have multiple tabs open inside your brain, and some song is playing, but you don't know where. Butter is that song. 2. Truth UntoldHere's a track that's soulful, raw, and achingly relatable. 'Truth Untold' captures the kind of sadness you don't always say out loud, that deep, quiet hurt of hiding your true feelings. The vocals are delicate and emotional, and you can genuinely feel the pain in every line. It's one of those songs you put on late at night when you're lost in thought, and somehow, it says exactly what you're feeling but couldn't quite put into words. The reason why it is second on the list is also because of the song's packaging; It's almost theatrical. Like you're watching a poem come to life.advertisement 1. For Youth This one had to come first. 'For Youth' opens with ARMY singing, and that alone sets the emotional tone straight away. It's not just a song; it's a love letter to the fans who've been there since day one. The voices of thousands blend into the melody, and suddenly it feels like you're part of something much bigger. The lyrics are heartfelt, nostalgic, and packed with gratitude. It's BTS at their most vulnerable, thanking ARMY in the most touching way possible. Choosing just five BTS songs was tough because each one is special in its own way. But if you're excited about their new music - and honestly, who isn't? - these tracks are a perfect place to start or revisit. And if you're a new ARMY, welcome to the fandom! Give these songs a listen, and you'll quickly see why BTS has captured hearts worldwide.- EndsMust Watch
