It's the thought of being young
When your heart's just like a drum Beating louder with no way to guard it.
When it all seems like it's wrong Just sing along to Elton John
And to that feeling, we're just getting started When the nights get colder And the rhythms got you falling behind Just dream about that moment
When you look yourself right in the eye, eye, eye Then you say, I wanna dance, the music's got me going.
Ain't nothing that can stop how we move, yeah! Let's break our plans and live just like we're
golden And roll in like we're dancing fools We don't need to worry 'Cause when we fall, we know how to land Don't need to talk the talk, just walk the walk tonight 'Cause we don't need permission to dance There's always something that's standing in
the way But if you don't let it faze ya, you'll know
just how to break Just keep the right vibe, yeah, 'cause there's
no looking back There ain't no one to prove, we don't got
this on lock, yeah The wait is over
The time is now, so let's do it right Yeah, we'll keep going
And stay up until we see the sunrise And we'll say
I wanna dance, the music's got me going Ain't nothing that can stop how we move, yeah
Let's break our plans and live just like we're golden
And roll in like we're dancing fools We don't need to worry
'Cause when we fall, we know how to land Don't need to talk the talk, just walk the
walk tonight 'Cause we don't need permission to dance

I decided to rewatch their 2016 MAMA bangtan bomb after they won their second daesang and Yoongi said something like, “we used to watch award shows in 2011 and we would wonder when we would debut, if we would win a prize…” and i kinda teared up a little. It’s honestly incredible to see what these men have achieved despite being so young. What’s even nicer to see is that they’ve managed to stay genuine and true to the message they shared when they debuted, like their speech today. I loved the entire speech but the standout quote for me was:
“this isn’t the lost generation but the generation that makes excellent moves with the limited choices they have”
edit: can i just highlight how much i love that they did their speech in Korean?
This is my favorite performance stage now.
PTD is made for this stage. Can't imagine them performing Dynamite nor Butter here
I have to be honest I wasn’t that much of a fan of this song when it was first released but it soon grew on me cos it just makes me feel so happy. And now I really see why they released Permission to Dance. Such a perfect song to end their heartwarming and insightful speech!
Like bts said, we’re not the lost generation, we are the welcome generation. We can withstand change and we’re constantly taking up new challenges. We can take anything that life throws our way
Who could've imagined BTS performing in UN headquarters in NYC
Did anybody have “BTS performing at the UN Headquarters” in their bingo card?
Seriously, from performing at a small hall to selling out stadiums, performing at national landmarks AND the freaking UN HALL?!?!
I don’t have enough vocabulary to describe the immense sense of pride and joy I’m feeling for them but WOW who is doing it like them!!!
they really make it difficult to hate this song
anyways I’m so proud of them, the pressure has to be immense and I’m glad they carry themselves really well. Even though I don’t agree with some of the president’s ideas, being appointed to represent your country internationally is a big deal. Congrats besties!
also: namjoon looked so good omg
When I first checked out BTS with the whole Wings album, I had no idea what sort of run both the group and fandom would have to this point.
But seeing performances like this just kinda seals the deal for me, how influential they've become and it's crazy. Proud of them!
Unrelated but does anyone else have an idea when the next album will be, some rumors said October/November but idk.
