The song “Permission to Dance,” which drew attention because Ed Sheeran contributed to BTS, has a title that literally means “permission to dance.” That doesn’t seem to make much sense, right? In fact, if you rearrange the letters of the title as an anagram, it becomes “NO PANDEMIC STORIES.” As you can tell from the rearranged title, it carries a message about COVID.

For students preparing for entrance exams, these times can be especially tough.

Even while being affected by the state of society, if you’re studying hard for exams, please give this song a listen and lift your spirits.
