Born Singer

A song that, right after their 2013 debut, reinterpreted J.

Cole’s “Born Sinner” by setting the seven members’ inner thoughts to Korean lyrics.

It was released on SoundCloud one month after their debut and was officially included on the 2022 anthology album “Proof.” The lyrics capture their real state of mind at the time—anxieties and loneliness in pursuing their dreams, paired with a determination to stay true to their passion for music.

Blending hip-hop and R&B, the track layers gospel-like vocals from the vocal line with introspective flows from the rap line, resulting in a sound that resonates deeply with listeners.

It’s a song that gently supports those walking the path of music or striving toward their dreams.

Hormone WarBTS80rank/position

Hormone War (Japanese Ver.)

When you want to liven things up with everyone, “War of Hormone” is a perfect choice.

It’s a track included on the album DARK & WILD.

It features sampled sounds reminiscent of retro games and intricately woven rhymes.

At the same time, it has relatively few high-pitched parts and a relaxed tempo, which is part of its appeal.

That makes it great for singing together in a lively group.

By the way, the lyrics differ between the Japanese version and the original, so it can be fun to sing while comparing the two.
