No more dream talks about how society has destroyed the meaning of the word "dream" for the youth of today, who are stuck in a cycle of hard work that just drives them away from leading a worthy and good life, doing the things they love. https://open.spotify.com/track/4frlkLwlnm58ejpNwWjxyl?si=yWsd85P4Qt-r14M_pxCZDw&utm_source=copy-link

NO is a refusal to give in to societal expectations and norms and breaking away from them, from how the adults have defined hard work, good grades, a good life for all youth by pitting them all against each other as if they're animals in jungles. https://open.spotify.com/track/1hehPTlSVIhHEvCkVoe4HX?si=zUMRFZETRFq9foOqxEvtJQ&utm_source=copy-link

Baepsae is based on a saying that discusses how underdogs should dream of things only within their reach, and that's what BTS is rebelling against. True passion and hard work is what they need to beat socioeconomic inequality, and they were right. https://open.spotify.com/track/1ACMf8SOANvKlOu4vTWiJN?si=YZEAz5z_RQacZ-GFzipPsA&utm_source=copy-link

BTS highlights the extreme inequality which society is blind to, because the current system which gives power only to a few, is controlled by those few who are happy with it.

Gogo is a satirical spin on how the youth of today lives in the "now" as they spend however and "party all the time" unlike the other generations which believed in saving more than spending. https://open.spotify.com/track/5nq1uTNIR1cBR72T87viS0?si=IwSwWzP-QPmxw4fz3S6TeA&utm_source=copy-link

Anpanman is a dedication to the people who are heroes not because of their strength, but because they are essential to society as they give their all to help us keep going, because who's gonna do these tasks & help society if they don't? https://open.spotify.com/track/4lRwa7PKcGIuJMwtPIYKdy?si=XN79u6NJQASmYJ0dlBPWsw&utm_source=copy-link

Idol is a song that focus on self love in a society that tries to tear us down with its own standards. It's rebelling against self hatred that arises out of these unrealistic expectations which make us feel undeserving and unworthy of a good life https://open.spotify.com/track/2AIWoHr9DF6y4KALCBKWQS?si=4FD6kC4ISKi52O14XBOQOw&utm_source=copy-link

UGH takes on anger from three angles - how anger online has no consequences, how good anger gives justice & bad anger kills, and how the wrong anger drives us away from the issues we should be tackling in society. https://open.spotify.com/track/1aKuG1GG76xPLUkjBbQo3W?si=Ke062A1dRHeQhGTuE_bO2g&utm_source=copy-link
As per the article, BE didn't essentially have a social commentary, but Dis-ease can be interpreted to talk about how our passion can tire us out when it becomes a part of our jobs
