“A Brand New Day” by BTS & Zara Larsson

BTS and Zara Larsson identify “fear and dread” as two thought processes which are hindering their paths to success. However, “visions” of victory are rather what have captivated their hearts and minds. So, as J-Hope in particular explains, although he was “fearful” and “dreadful”, he did not let these emotions cause him to shrink away from pursuing his dreams, even when he had to face “persecution” as a result.  And after a certain point of not giving up, he came to realize that the fulfillment of his aspirations was imminent.

And such is the primary sentiment of this song. It is not centered so much on the artists’ rejoicing at achieving their goals as it is them appreciating the journey which ultimately leads them to success. But as for the titular “brand new day”, that represents the actual moment their lives are transformed through the attainment of the ideological victory.

What really makes “A Brand New Day” unique is that instead of reveling in personal accomplishments or generically passing on words of inspiration to the audience, the singers are instead taking pleasure in each other’s triumphs. They are just as happy to share in their companion’s dreams and see them come true as they are in their own.
