BTS released their second album Skool Luv Affair earlier this year, and are following up with a music video release of "Just One Day". From the music video description, "BTS's next song [Just One Day] is a trendy urban hip-hop song where minimal rhythm and neat composition of instruments stand out. [...] You'll be able to listen to a sad voice of the BTS's vocal line that has been hidden by the songs with strong beats."
True to the description, "Just One Day" implements minimal instrumentation, allowing listeners to really hear the emotion in the boys' emotions. A stark contrast from their usual upbeat singles, it also shows the group's versatility. I also think the track will appeal to rap lovers that don't generally like K-Pop, as the sparse instrumental causes some of the lines come across as reminiscent of Korean rapper Beenzino's flow.
Very different from their previous release "Boy in Luv", BTS showcases their emotional and caring sides in this song. Although some mid-tempo songs aren't catchy, "Just One Day" is a song you can't get out of your head with its cute repetition of "Do It" during the chorus and the 90s remindful vocals. It definitely deserves a place in your playlist. 5/5
