Jimin: MUSE

Rebirth

This is my favourite song on the album. While I may gush about Be Mine and want sexy choreography, Rebirth is the track that I listen to when I want me a Jimin. The song embodies everything Jimin is and everything I feel about him. The Artist and his muse.

Side note: I’m not exactly sure why but the moment I heard it the first time, it reminded me of Mikrokosmos and Love Yourself. Don’t ask why. It just did. I can see him ending his solo concert with this song.

Production wise this song is the best of the lot as well for me. The choice of using the choir feels deliberate (and is a VERY good one too); SMF2 which had the chorus ended with Jimin being reborn. It only makes sense for Rebirth to be the first song on this album and for it to be softer, and have the choir crooning in the background. The utter contrast to SMF2 was important to show the rebirth, the growth, and what better way to show growth than to use the tools you have at your disposal but using them differently, to show a more softer side, more lovable side.

As far as the lyrics are concerned, it cements that Jimin likes to convey his message very simply, so that there’s no confusion, no doubt. There’s an earnestness, an ingenuity that Jimin possesses and it comes across in his writing/lyrics. There are people who act or who pretend to be that earnest, genuine. And you can almost always suss it out. But with Jimin, he truly embodies all this goodness and when he writes about it, it doesn’t feel forced or fake.

The following is simply my interpretation/observation taking into account both lyrics and music video(s).

I chose to look at Rebirth from where SMF2 ended so I should talk about SMF2 and what Jimin was saying/conveying. The principal theme was chaos. A sense of chaos that he felt within and without - with everyone pointing at him; speaking at him, about him; ridiculing him; the unkind words, the unwarranted criticism, the 24/7 spotlight on him. And how he does not give a rats ass about any of that. How he has chosen to break those invisible chains and be free. To be what he wants to be, what he thinks he should be. Leading to his rebirth.

In contrast, the lyrics for Rebirth are so clear. There’s a surety in how Jimin addresses what he wants. Jimin said in the MiniMoni exchange and the BTS of the live performance that when he was writing about Rebirth, he used the premise of a crush. Now to me, a crush is symbolic as he explained in the MiniMoni exchange. The crush is symbolic of the fluttering feelings, the excitement that he is missing from his life.

The lyrics at 0.25:

If I'm tryna be special

So that I can sing while making eye contact with you

I'll show you, baby

And here, the outro:

When that door opens

When I get closer to you

I'll tell you this

I will be special all for you

If you take everything into consideration, my interpretation is that he is talking about wanting to be a better artist for Army. His rebirth as an artist who will stand the test of time, for his fans but more importantly for himself. Because HE wants to be special for us. He isn’t saying the we want him to be special for us. HE IS MAKING THAT CHOICE ON HIS OWN.

I just stanned (is that a word?!) this man harder. Sigh.

Vocally, I can actually see the growth from his previous songs. The vocals are so much more stable, clear and mature. I’m not saying they weren’t before but I feel that he has now learnt techniques which help him sing using his head voice, go into falsetto without straining his vocal cords. I’m not an expert or even a singer, but the notes he hits in the beginning and certain sections of the song are pretty high! And he sounds so good!! And then he did the live version to confirm all my thoughts and feelings around this song. Absolutely bodied that performance.

The only gripe I have is that the song is too short. Too short. I want more of this.

SMART YT Streaming for US AND Global

7 NOT 24 - A BB tracking week is 7 days. Our focus on YouTube should be gaining streams during the entire 7 days of a debut week, not just the first 24 hours. Stream for longevity (seven days and beyond) and sustainability. Use playlists responsibly and as needed for your schedule.

Log in, Log In, Log In - You MUST be signed in to your YT account for the views to count towards the charts. If you are not logged in, those views will count for the view count numbers but NOT for the BB charts.

Limit Multiple Devices - YouTube tracks your IP address, so be responsible with devices. YouTube will delete views if your accounts/IP registers excessive hourly views, so aim for no more than 6 to 7 streams per hour per acct on YT to avoid excessive views.

Engage Frequently - You should have some type of engagement every couple of hours. You can comment or like someone else's comment but DO NOT SPAM. We need to engage more than once per day on the focus video.

— TIPS — As always, we promote streaming smart and responsibly to BOTH impact the charts and fully support BTS. Represent yourself and BTS well. Artist first, Charts second.

'REBIRTH' Themed

Keep on streaming Muse

I know the thrill of the first week is over and we are still basking in the results of our efforts but I can't help but point out (it's the geek in me) that some shout from the rooftop results are within our grasp if we can recover a bit of the energy from last week.

Specifically, if we can get streams back over 20 million either tomorrow or the next day we can achieve:

4 billion streams for Jimin's solo profile

500 million streams for Muse

200 million streams for Closer Than This

Let's do it for this cutie!
