Within less than a day of its release, the MV has already surpassed ten million views. Let’s dive into this song together!
BTS V – “Rainy Days” Song Introduction
"Rainy Days" is a unique blend of alternative POP R&B, ingeniously merging retro and exotic percussion with modern rhythms, establishing a distinctive mood. Everyday ambient noises intertwined with V's vocals heighten the depth of emotion within the song.
In the MV, V navigates through an ordinary day. The director cleverly depicts the day's emotions, showing tranquil scenes from waking up in the morning, preparing breakfast, focusing on work, to taking short breaks, all seemingly unfolding under a languid, rainy sentiment.
The song is emotionally charged, portraying the longing for lost love and a desire to reconnect. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and regret, with rainy days symbolizing the sadness and emptiness felt amidst waiting and reminiscing.
Lyric lines such as "Rainy days, I'm thinking bout you, What to say, Wish I knew how to, Find the way, Right back to you" express continuous longing for a missed one, uncertainty about what to say, or how to bridge the gap formed between them, showing a yearning and hope for reconciliation.
The main producer of V's album "Layover" and also of the "New Jeans" album, ADOR's Min Xi Zhen, stated, "I aimed to maintain the song's atmosphere in its simplistic essence rather than V's splendid showcase. V and I discussed a musical style we hoped to try. Considering his vocal texture and style, we planned and selected this series of tracks for him, which he agreed upon."
Min Xi Zhen also shared insights into the album-making process, saying, "Both the sound and visual effects are unforgettable."
