FOR YOUBTS84rank/position

BTS ‘FOR YOU’ Official MV

A heartrending love song themed around a long-distance relationship, it topped the Oricon weekly chart.

Produced by UTA, the music video also features the members transforming into various part-time job roles—another highlight.

The vocal range in “FOR YOU” isn’t very high, but it feels like the lower register is emphasized more than the high notes.

Be careful not to overuse your throat when singing low notes.

Compared to your speaking voice, aim for a slightly more polished tone; lifting your eyebrows helps keep the resonance from dropping too much into the throat, preventing a muffled sound and making it easier to sing.

It’s also recommended to sing as if you’re placing a bundle of breath right in front of you.
