If you are new to BTS and their body of work, you will certainly drown on how extensive their discography is. To date, they have a total of 182 Korean tracks from 30 Albums including the Japanese releases, special editions and the repackaged ones. Not to mention the BE Album that was released last November 20. That’s a lot! We know because we got drowned too the first time we discovered the numbers. This article however will not delve into all of their songs but rather on the ones that have been our favorite. We have also included the lyrics from each song that have touched us deeply as well as our Spotify playlist. So sit back, ready your speakers or earphones and stream!

Tonight, if I reach my hand to yours
Can you hold that hand?

You’re my boy, my boy
My boy, my boy, my boy
