"Country style for ROPE IT? Ddang! It's not so shocking when you know BTS has bossa nova in 134340! The lead single #Dont_Say_You_Love_Me seems amazing, pretty nostalgic Track n°5 will be also surprising maybe with urban vibes ? Not sure! Background has Scorpions vibes," a fan shared.

"I know with 100% certainty that I am going to love this album; the highlight medley made my heart feel so good, just like Happy did! Claiming the pretty Track 5 “A Journey With the Clouds," a fan commented.
