вЂњSpine Breaker,вЂќ Skool Luv Affair (2014)Д®arly on in the groupвЂ™s career, BTS set itself apart by boldly addressing societal issues. A bonus: J-Hope, who specializes in rapping, makes a rare appearance singing the mellow verses in this track. The airy melody flows on top of light percussion and piano, creating a melancholy mood that matches the songвЂ™s lyrics about the grayness and gloom of a rainy day. While most of BTSвЂ™ earlier songs are hip hop-infused tracks that pack a punch in the rap verses, вЂњRainвЂќ is a jazz-centric number with a spotlight on relaxed vocal lines. JinвЂ™s bright tone, in particular, shines in delivering the bittersweet emotions of wrestling between holding on and letting go, the internal struggle described by the lyrics. The song strips down heavy musical production in the refrain and layers the singersвЂ™ bare voices atop classical piano, highlighting the vocal colors of the four singers Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook. But the merits of вЂњLet GoвЂќ should not be overlooked. вЂњLet Go,вЂќ Face Yourself (2018)ДЄnother track from the Japanese album Face Yourself, вЂњDonвЂ™t Leave Me,вЂќ garnered significant attention in part for being the theme song of a Japanese television series. вЂњBut why is there this fear in between the happiness?вЂќ The songвЂ™s composition mirrors the theme - a cyclical, serene instrumental melody is paired with breathy vocals to create a sound that resembles the tranquil crashing of waves. вЂњThe scary desert became the ocean with our blood, sweat and tears,вЂќ Suga raps. In the lyrics, BTS uses the imagery of an ocean and a desert to convey the hope and despair they experience while pursuing their dreams as K-pop artists. The hidden track вЂњSeaвЂќ is only available on the physical edition of the Love Yourself: Her album, so it may have evaded the notice of fans who mostly stream the groupвЂ™s music. In no particular order, here are TIMEвЂ™s picks for the most underrated BTS songs, compiled in a playlist at bottom.

For the purposes of this list, вЂњunderratedвЂќ songs exclude title tracks released with music videos and promoted most heavily during album releases, as well as the usual fan favorites (вЂњSilver Spoon,вЂќ вЂњTomorrow,вЂќ вЂњAnpanman,вЂќ to name a few, have had their fair share of recognition.) WeвЂ™ve also included вЂњhidden tracks,вЂќ which are only found outside the realms of Spotify and Apple Music.

BTSвЂ™ discography dates back to June 2013, with the release of their debut album 2 Cool 4 Skool, and has since spanned genres, with lyrics offering social commentary and introspective musings alike.ДЄhead of the seven-member ensembleвЂ™s new album Map of the Soul: 7, which drops on Feb. But if you were just tuning in, you would have missed quite a few worthy tracks. вЂњBoy With LuvвЂќ was BTSвЂ™ song of choice when the K-pop phenom group performed at Times Square on Dick ClarkвЂ™s RockinвЂ™ New YearвЂ™s Eve, on Saturday Night Live and a multitude of similarly grand stages late last year.
