Track from 5th Full Album 'Arirang,' Capturing Inner Struggles
'Normal' is a track included in BTS's 5th full album 'Arirang.' Serving as a follow-up to the title track 'SWIM,' the song takes the gap between the splendor on stage and the individual in daily life as its theme.
The lyrics capture the confusion felt from a position striving for perfection and the will to return to a normal state. The recently released 'NORMAL LOG' video shows Jimin's daily life, connecting to the song's keyword, 'ordinariness.' The music video visualizes the emotion of the song by alternating between vibrant lighting and static spaces within a dreamlike atmosphere.
