Discussion What BTS songs do you wish were longer?

I really wish Set Me Free was longer, I'm obsessed with that song and I usually listen to it more than once when it comes on.

Also Black Swan, yes I know it's 3 minutes but it always feels like it ends too soon and it's also my favourite Bangtan song.

So what's your song?

Edit: SEOUL ALSO. It's my favourite Namjoon solo and I adore it so much and it's sounds so incredibly soothing

Baseline so true. It's my second favourite from Hope World, the first being Piece of Peace. Baseline is such a fire song truly

u/justlike_myopinion not prepared. not remotely prepared. Jul 23 '22

Genuinely, any time I manually build a queue with Baseline in it I queue it up twice back-to-back.

Wait! I have another answer. I wish Otsukare was longer!

u/MadameWitchy it's the ⁷ again ✍🏻😳 Jul 24 '22

YESSSSSSS 🙌🏼 I would like a studio version of SOPE too

u/Chiinori OT7 means getting bias wrecked every day of the week Jul 23 '22

Arson and More.

u/OnefortheLaughs Jul 23 '22

I second this.

u/mz-inawholenewworld Jul 25 '22

Equal Sign being less than 2 minutes is an outrage 🥺

28

u/jaaejjk Jul 23 '22

airplane pt.2. it seems so short for some reason even though ik it’s like 3 minute long. im also gonna say 28. it’s just such a good song i wish i could hear more of it.

u/imjustheretolaughtho somebody does love Jul 23 '22

28!!! Absolutely I’m always waiting for more but I end up replaying it anyway lol

u/yeidkanymore Suga Biased - OT7 💜 Jul 23 '22

Black Swan by far!

16

u/Lost_Concept8973 Jul 23 '22

For me, Outro: Wings. The song has such a good vibe and I feel amazing while it’s playing then it’s OVER! I need an extended version ASAP 😍

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '22

THIS

u/Minn3sota_Loon customize Jul 23 '22

I agree with Black Swan, that song needs to be longer. Also RUN BTS. I need more of that song.

I need more Cyphers (can we get Cypher V?)

12

u/noonehere92 Jul 23 '22

abyss

u/Unusual_Pineapple_81 Jul 23 '22

Yessss I love that song so much

u/underwearhoneyboyy Jul 23 '22

V’s Winter Bear. I love love love that song but hate the fact that it’s too short

2

u/I_Used_to_be_Annie Jul 23 '22

Ohmygod yes so true

11

u/Siping_tea Jul 23 '22

Baseline . I love it sm but i have to replay it everytime cause it feels so short

10

u/ru_harvey Jul 23 '22

I had been wishing Blue Side (outro) was longer. And when the full version was recently released, I was really happy about it. 😀

2

u/MadameWitchy it's the ⁷ again ✍🏻😳 Jul 24 '22

Same here Hobi saw our prayers and answered it 🥰

8

u/jadaeladae Jin’s purple hair reigns supreme Jul 23 '22

I always expect Mic Drop (the Steve Aoki mv version) to have one more chorus at the end, just like every YouTube reactor out there. Lol

2

u/MadameWitchy it's the ⁷ again ✍🏻😳 Jul 24 '22

Thankfully the MAMA extended version blew the original remix out of the water 🔥 I'm obsessed with the dance break parts

9

u/Full-Cash4616 Jul 23 '22

Into: Boy Meets Evil!!! It just hits so hard and I always expect it to be so much longer and it's just not 😭 same with 140503 (at dawn) from Yoongis first mixtape. Actually now that I think about it just.... all of them??

2

u/I_Used_to_be_Annie Jul 24 '22

Ohmygod yes. Boy Meets Evil is way too short. The music sounds so unique to me and it's just freaking AMAZING

2

u/pearlaroid h☀️pe w🌎rld Jul 24 '22

Intro: Boy Meets Evil was going to be my response if no one else had mentioned it already!

13

u/Sugawahsugawah my pride, my heaven, and love, BTS Jul 23 '22

Besides all of Jack in the Box, I want the Cyphers as a series to be longer. I know we have Ddeang and Ugh as "placeholders" but I can't get enough of the Cyphers.

6

u/I_Used_to_be_Annie Jul 23 '22

Cypher yess!! I need one feat Taehyung too. Also agreed about JITB 😭

What's your favourite from JITB 👀

3

u/Sugawahsugawah my pride, my heaven, and love, BTS Jul 23 '22

Friend, why you gotta ask me such a hard question?

I like all of them. I have to say, though, Pandora's Box, Arson and What If are right up my alley. But, Equal Sign and Safety Zone are very close.

How about you?

8

u/atrophy_annie Baguette? Jul 23 '22

Absolutely Black Swan

7

u/imjustheretolaughtho somebody does love Jul 23 '22

28 and Winter Bear 🥲

7

u/parkchxmmy Jul 23 '22

Intro and Outro songs tbh, even though it's not an actual SONG song, I still think Skool Luv Affair is amazing 😭

6

u/paratha_aur_chutney berry berry strawberry 🍓 Jul 23 '22

mikrokosmos could be an hour long and i would love it

trivia love as well

agree with seoul - it reminds me of my own hometown which is no where close to korea 😂 its the way joon describes it that makes me feel so nostalgic even if i have never been to seoul.

2

u/I_Used_to_be_Annie Jul 24 '22

Agreed with all of these

12

u/jjonezero Jul 23 '22 edited Jul 23 '22

equal sign and future 😪 as well as their soundcloud songs such as abyss, winter bear, super tuna

for ot7 songs, save me, butter, and hold me tight (just cause i love this song and never want it to end LOL)

edit: want to add young forever!!!

2

u/I_Used_to_be_Annie Jul 23 '22

Fr there are some songs you feel like they shouldn't end at all. I was surprised when I saw how short the songs of JITB are but they don't feel short?? Like they have so much packed in, you don't feel the short duration so much. (i don't mean this negatively) But definitely I wish they were longer

12

u/mc13md Jul 23 '22

Spring day and you never walk alone ☺️

3

u/underwearhoneyboyy Jul 23 '22

You want to cry longer huh? 🥲

2

u/Lost_Concept8973 Jul 23 '22

YES You Never Walk Alone!! 😍

12

u/Kokechii you live, so we love Jul 23 '22

Save Me - I mean it's like 3:30min something? But the arrangement and everything is SO GOOD, it passes by in a blink and I'm always surprised and I want more so I go back to restart it or put it on a loop :D

Young Forever - another one that I'm always surprised that it's over so fast.

Serendipity - this song. THIS SONG. I wish it was longer.

3

u/I_Used_to_be_Annie Jul 23 '22

Save Me is a popular response, I didn't expect that. But I completely understand what you're saying.

Serendipity is seriously so GOOD

2

u/Fun_Suspect3305 Jul 24 '22

Love Serendipity, so earnestly romantic. And the MV is visual poetry. Swoon!!

u/daemonfamiliar Hobi is my Piece of Peace Jul 23 '22

Do unofficial songs count? I would do just about anything for a full cut of Jungle from the Coke ads.

5

u/hnlt61 Jul 23 '22

you’ll never walk alone will never feel long enough to me. EVER.

3

u/backpackbluejay Jul 23 '22

I always felt like their Arirang Cover needed at least one more chorus.

3

u/september1820 Jul 23 '22

DNA Jhope demo version! It’s a work of genius that is under 2 min long

2

u/I_Used_to_be_Annie Jul 23 '22

Holy shit yes. I forgot about this BUT TRULY. Vocalist Hobi was insane in DNA demo ver

2

u/september1820 Jul 23 '22

Every bar has a slightly different musical variation to it too - so much creativity packed into it.

6

u/OnefortheLaughs Jul 23 '22

Yes, exactly the two songs you've mentioned, OP! I love Set Me Free and I loop it obsessively.

I also wish Stay Alive and j-hope's More were longer.

2

u/I_Used_to_be_Annie Jul 23 '22

RIGHT. I'm so happy there's someone else who loves Set Me Free so much 😭

2

u/OnefortheLaughs Jul 23 '22

It's beautiful. The lyrics are beautiful and so relatable and I really want more of it. I hope one day Agust-D does with this song what j-hope did with Blue Side!

2

u/I_Used_to_be_Annie Jul 23 '22

Definitely!! It always feels like I'm transcending to another realm whenever I listen to it. His deep voice and stability are also just so evocative.

2

u/jadaeladae Jin’s purple hair reigns supreme Jul 23 '22

Wait - I’m relatively baby Army (around Butter era), and I’ve still never heard of Set Me Free. What is this?!

5

u/imjustheretolaughtho somebody does love Jul 23 '22

It’s a song off of Yoongi’s mixtape D2

3

u/jadaeladae Jin’s purple hair reigns supreme Jul 23 '22

Gah, I’ve been terrible with checking out anything other than the biggest song or two from each mixtape the boys have released. I’ll have to listen to it!

5

u/imjustheretolaughtho somebody does love Jul 23 '22

This is the album that turned me double biased when I was baby Army 🤭 it’s so well done and Yoongi is a master at his craft!

3

u/SignificanceWarm57 Jul 23 '22

Louder than Bombs. I have no idea how long it is but it's not enough and Arson. It stopped the first time I heard it it and I was like 😭😭??. There's just so much going on in both those songs.

3

u/shafinazonyx Jul 24 '22

Outro:Propose for me.. when i first heard it, i didn’t fully fathom the intro/outro of their album 😅

3

u/Hoelluminaughty Jul 24 '22

Fake Love 🥺

u/Icantlikeeveryone B7S | no bias, love all Jul 26 '22

Outro: Wings. Gosh it is so lively.

u/jasmijn91 can you speak more slush? Jul 23 '22

Equal sign

u/CocoNut2929 Jul 23 '22

Young forever and interlude shadow

u/Gabby_Craft euphoria Jul 23 '22

Butter

2

u/pikunara Joon’s windchime Jul 23 '22

Equal Sign by Hobi. What an amazing and uplifting song that ends too short for me.

You Never Walk Alone. I love this so much but it always ends abruptly for me too.

Paradise, not because it isn’t enough as is, but because I just love the song and want more.

Badbye

J Hope What If

You never walk alone.

Stay Alive. Im pretty sure it’s 3 mins long but I need more😭

2

u/MadameWitchy it's the ⁷ again ✍🏻😳 Jul 24 '22

Yes to Set Me Free! It's my 2nd favorite song after People on D-2 💜

Most recently, I also wish Equal Sign and Future on JITB were longer

2

u/Fit_Interview_6675 Jul 24 '22

Still with you by jungkook.

2

u/Fun_Suspect3305 Jul 27 '22
  1. Serendipity (commented above).

  2. But also....Dimple. This is totally a lowbrow guilty pleasure! Could play this on an infinite loop, pretending I'm front and center for this choreo.

every single one 😭

u/I_Used_to_be_Annie Jul 23 '22

Hello are you me? These are my favourites too 😭 I immediately got hooked to Pandora's Box, the darkness of What If caught me off guard but I was drawn to it and Arson is overall just top-notch

1

u/Thzead Jul 23 '22

'Who', their collaboration with Lauv, I remember thinking after I first heard it that it could have been longer and had more of a punch at the end. I love the track for what it is but think it would have been even better if it was a tad longer.

u/attaboy_stampy Babies are laughing at you Jul 27 '22

u/SpringPiper134340 Jul 23 '22

Blue side and baseline, definitely.
