This song is really for us 3 a.m girlies, so much feels. It felt so warm, like a big hug. Reading the [lyrics](https://twitter.com/seokjinbit/status/1688159572383674368?t=IGGuP3ovaeUiCb8_NZPwMA&s=19) is making me feel so many things. He just knows how to write lyrics that will touch your heart, break it and then mend it.
“come back to me like you used to do
Be what you be, I’ll roll you to the moon” ❤️🩹
“Spring always been here, I’ll sleep in her eyes” ❤️🩹
“you don’t have to be anything you see?” ❤️🩹
RM4 is going to destroy me I just know. How are you’ll holding up? How excited you are for his next album? I think it will come when he is in military..
Also, he said the song is still unnamed, but if you could give it a name, what would you give? I’ll say “Divine” 🥹

I’ve always said Joon has the incredible ability break your heart and mend it at the same time. And this song makes me feel just that. It feels a little sad, a little hopeful, a little healing all at once. I loooove the spoken word feel at the beginning. Feels like Joon and yet completely new. It makes me super excited to hear whatever else he has to give us.
I don’t usually like to speculate ’cause I’m never right, but I think it will release sometime after they announce his enlistment. Like a “sorry for breaking your hearts” gift.
These lyrics are beautiful. I thought he said earlier that the new music would be a 180 from Indigo but I felt that this song had an Indigo feel so now I’m even more curious what will be coming from him!
I still cry regularly listening to Indigo, I can’t wait for this. He is such an incredibly smart and sensitive men. And then his strength and confidence 😌
I just know that anything created by Namjoon will be brilliant.
This song felt as personal as Dear My Friend although with a different tone. Who broke yout heart, Joonie. It was an incredibly vulnerable performance. Unpolished, so raw, so real.
it reminds me of hyukoh’s newest stuff!! i’m SOOO excited for RM4
I cried listening to Joon sing this heartbreaking yet truly loving song to us. An unfinished song at that. That takes a whole lot of trust and love to do so. The lyrics are so meaningful in a poignant way that reflects sadness, hope, and this eternal love all at once. It’s a crooning soulful poetic song; Namjoon just has this way of writing songs that can just bring out different emotions all at once because he makes them relatable. He’s so versatile. Thank you Namjoon for gifting us this precious song that truly means a lot to you.
I am really looking forward to RM4 and I’m wondering if this song is on it or if it will be his goodbye for now song before E. I’ve said this before but if RM4 does release while he’s enlisted I will be so upset he can’t perform on stage or do promo in person. I guess we will wait and see.
The thing that stood out to me the most – besides the beautiful lyrics of course 😉 – were the instrumental sounds in the background. At the beginning it was more melancholic but after a minute or so the drums suddenly started to play and the song got more lively? I don’t know how to explain it but that’s just how it felt like to me 😅 I really loved the overall rhythm of the song and I hope he will release it soon. I want to listen to it again.
I know they’ve kind of dabbled in these kind of things before but they’ve never done straight up love songs or breakup songs before… they’re usually always sugar-coated in like metaphors lol. But I think we’re entering that period in their music where now that they’re taking more time for themselves and more than likely dating a lot more… I’m expecting more sentimental music from all of them as time goes on.
RM’s solo songs are definitely right up my alley. And this new song is everything I love! The lyric and the sound are interesting, I don’t think we’ve ever heard him sing like this! I hope we’ll get to see the finished result soon, and I hope it will keep this raw, moody undertone sound. 💜
I can’t even think about the lyrics. Too much to process today.
It felt like a spoken word piece to me! I wonder how representative it is of his coming music? I’m so interested in seeing what he’ll show us.
Very interesting to see where he takes us with his new album, it takes a lot of courage to perform something that is not the “final” version.
Always grateful that he chooses to share his thoughts with us.
The song sounds like such a quentissal Namjoon song, especially the lyrics – like Tablo said, there’s a bit of sadness & loneliness in Namjoon’s lyrics, even in the upbeat songs.
while it does seem to be more of an indigo track – but indigo had different genres & sounds after all! I feel it’s more the overall indie sound & mood.
Maybe like mono seem like an extension of track life from RM (and in a way indigo’s mood leans toward Seoul)..I won’t will be surprised if we get similar situation here like an extension mood of closer (plus this is a wip still)
So damn good. I need that song released now. I love that he’s in such a thoughful songwriter mode. His music never sounds like a cashgrab or a “hit” if that makes sense. Such a beautiful song.
I just hope that if this was written with someone in his mind, the lyrics will reach the person and gives closure or continuation for both of them 💜
Caught the clip online and my first thought is: Namjoon is absolutely fearless. My second thought is: it makes sense that a man with a poetic soul who loves EW&F’s *September* wrote this “most treasured song.” It’s a love song that’s funky and personal and lovely and a little heart-breaking.
I wonder if RM4 will be an album of love songs – songs celebrating different kinds of love. It would follow naturally from his youtube chat with Colde. And it would give our poetic Joon so much scope lyrically.
Bangtan have different voices and different niches. Joon’s voice is not designed for pop. It’s designed for songs of adult life and pain and beauty. Joon singing poetic odes to the joy and torment of the different types of love we encounter through life (speaking as someone *old*!) would be a perfect fit.
Forgot to mention – I genuinely love this song. It’s in the same vein as my favorite male singer-songwriters, who are all one or two generations older than our Joon but somehow he is already developing the same sensibilities.
These lyrics are so pretty. He sounded so different, he’s been training his voice. This reminded me of old Coldplay so much (a la Swallowed in the Sea, and Green Eyes coupled with his falsetto like Chris Martin). Very intrigued about what he will name it. Namjoon has been going through some personal life stuff and I hope he finds the happiness he deserves!
edit: this is a chapter 2 comment and not targeted to him in particular but since the members are all spending more time alone and with their own special people who inspire and influence them, I’m so happy he’s chosen the influences that made him more vulnerable and brave than ever. Especially when this fandom can be so toxic and judgmental, and he’s got his fair share of insults, he chose this stage and this fandom to express such personal thoughts. Whatever/whoever has helped him find this courage – thank you!
These lyrics somehow tapped directly into what are probably my most precious and bittersweet memories. Listening to it feels like looking at snapshots of the past. It felt like a gift. He has a way – here and in songs like closer or forever rain to capture something so universal but deeply personal at the same time. Not “oh I can relate to that” in a general way, but more “yes, this is exactly what that moment felt like for me”.
I’m sure the lyrics will be beautiful but on first listening, I didn’t really like the first half where it was like spoken singing. Once the music kicked it.. it was better. I’m still on the fence but i will wait for the final release.
I want to talk about it but imo I need to hear it properly, too many emotions last night as it happened. I will say from what I remember it did have a pretty cool spoken word vibe to it and if that is the case, yes!!! I’ve wanted one of them to spin off into trying spoken word, trip or jazz hop.
after today’s concert (and this sneak-peak song):

Namjoon is the new king of indie music.
I fell in love with this song 20 seconds in. My favorite song from Indigo is Lonely and this song has a similar vibe. Namjoon is also singing in both and I guess this singer-songwriter sound suits him incredibly. I really hope it will be released soon.
Our poet is back 🥲🥰
After some recent disappointment, I’m truly happy again. Can’t wait for his album to just make me fall in love again!
Now did I dream some part in the lyrics about being a dandelion?
I was not expecting a new song!! what a beautiful surprise. the lyrics hit hard (but that’s to be expected with Kim Namjoon)
He said that this album would be 180° from *Indigo* but I have to say, I think this song would fit right in *Indigo*, I wonder if he meant about the rest of the album, I’m so curious now.
But this song appeal to me like *Wildflower* or *Spring Day* does. Right in the FEELS.
The thing that got me about his performance last night is that that is such a lonely, vulnerable song to perform out there on your own in front of a huge crowd that was probably expecting one of your hits. There’s nothing going on at all to distract from him and his singing, hardly his strongest area as a musician. It’s so different to what Jimin and Jungkook did with backup dancers and backing track. (And I loved those performances! I just think Namjoon’s was *brave*.) I just admire him so much for that.
I’m so ready for RM4. Indigo was my favorite solo album. His lyrics always move me to tears. Proud of our amazingly talented leader 💜
His lyrics always resonated me a LOT. I used to think he is writing my thoughts it was that similar. This is just another beautiful example of that….it has a Melancholic yet hopeful vibe to it and I’m here for it
it was so joon, i had tears in my eyes hearing it live. i cannot WAIT for his new music, that just made me infinitely more excited. and the fact that people heard him rehearsing wildflower earlier in the day and then he sings this.. 😭 idk he trusts us and loves us so much that he felt safe to sing a brand new song that isn’t even finished. i am never getting over that performance ❤️🩹
also unrelated to the song but him reassuring us AGAIN that he didn’t shave his head for the military 😭 i can’t he is just the sweetest
Divine would be a great title for it!
I knew he was going to do a new song. I just didn’t know it was going to be a tear jerker
“you dont have to be anything you see” ohh the lyrics hit🥹💜
The song was beautiful. Even though it’s a work in progress I can definitely see the feelings behind it. Namjoon’s songs are always heart wrenching for me. It takes me a couple listens to calm my own initial feelings toward the song and then analyze it. He’s a deep thinker so every word and phrase is intentional. Love songs do fit him really well but I have to prepare myself each time because it’s never a light listen. It brings up a lot of complicated feelings and personal reflection. Indigo was wonderful, we’ll see what he has for this next album!
It reminded me of a chat I had with a friend about loving someone who is caught up with some other image of themselves. Let me see if I can explain this better. When I have a lover, I love all parts of them including the flaws. In fact some of the flaws are my fav parts because it’s so them and together they create this unique person I get to hold in my arms. Like this whole no human is comparable to my human feeling. Anyway, the lyrics reminded me of this, and how that person that you love might be chasing after some image of themselves they are trying to portray to the world instead of the self that lays in bed with you. And some times it hurts. It can hurt to love someone who is busy chasing this “perfect” style. And you’re just saying “hey, come back, lay in bed with me it’s okay you didn’t shower, it’s okay if time slips away, be with me, I love you”- also the part about not being the sea (or something can’t see the lyrics right now) makes me think of him trying to shed the idol status to just be this normal person next to a lover. He just wants something natural and real without all these outside pressures/appearances/society expectations.
Anyway, it’s a bit painful when you’re living through it, but love is love.
I love it instantly upon hearing it. My friend and I were humming to the chorus on our drive this morning. I really love the name “Untitled” because the song seems moody and fluid allowing for different interpretations. Maybe it doesn’t need a “name”.
I had to remind myself to breathe! I feel like I say this a lot, but I really felt so honored that Namjoon would trust us with a completely new piece. It was different from what he’s done in the past, but I felt it was a continuation of the natural, stripped down feelings and musical themes he was exploring in Indigo. The lyrics felt so intimate and heartfelt, and the pared-down arrangement/vocals really made it feel like we were just having an honest conversation. I loved the callbacks to previous songs with the words sea, moon, spring, and I’m fine. I was really getting a vibe of the singer being a soft place to land for their person/lover – this gentle invitation, this genuine reassurance, this honest declaration.
Namjoon’s ability to set text and play with words, in any language, has always blown me away. His talent as a poet/writer is what drew me to him and, along with his deep thinking, emotional sensitivity, and mastermind orchestration (musically and conceptually), I think is what really brought him to be my bias. Indigo has my whole heart and if this new album continues along this vein, I know I’m going to love it and be a bit of a mess. Now to wait until it drops!
I remember thinking it should be called dandelion-
As someone who can’t hold a job, go to school, or save money because of health issues, this means a lot. I always wonder if its really okay if I can’t make anything of myself
Man really knows how to make calming music. I loved it right away when I first heard it 🥺
I really want to hear the finished version of this song. I feel like it has great potential to be a straight on masterpiece.
We started to hear RM getting into his spoken word bag in Dont Say You Love Me w/ colde, and that has actually become my fav collab for him.
The instrumental is so good on this track that I really think the finished production gonna be something great
We’re the luckiest and most spoiled fandom I swear. It must have been so nerve wracking to perform an unfinished song in front of tens of thousands of people (plus those of us at home!), who would have been expecting Persona or Wildflower. I’m so grateful for Namjoon (and all the tannies honestly).
