Overall Meaning

Inner Child is a touching solo song from BTSโ€™s map of the soul: 7 album, sung by V. It speaks of hope and comfort, through reflecting on V's childhood and reminding himself that he can always return to the time where he was the happiest. The lyrics unfold as V reflects upon his past, acknowledging the struggles he has faced in the present, and reaching out to himself to assure himself that things will change, even if they donโ€™t seem like they will right now.


The first verse describes how V and the people around him were struggling when they were younger. The second sentence is a metaphor, emphasizing how the sky seemed far away from them, making it almost impossible to reach. But despite this, V sings about how he sees a galaxy in the sky and feels hopeful that thereโ€™s still something to look forward to. The second verse shows how V remembers feeling pain and how hard it was to chase his dreams endlessly, but he found hope from the memories of a happier time in his childhood.


Overall, the song is about anchoring oneself in memories and self-reflection; by recalling the inner child, the person that they once were, it feels possible to think of themself as lovable, and they are to learn who they are now. It highlights the importance of embracing oneโ€™s true self, even if theyโ€™re not perfect.

@Somebody yes they helped each other in writing songs but still each memeber has contributed in writing lyrics and composing before and u can't ignore that , u seem to not know much about BTS ..if namjoon (or any other member) helped in writing songs for them that means they write their own song bcs namjoon is a part of BTS duh

Geethika Ashok

All it took was 1 BTS song to hit me in heart ๐Ÿ˜ and Now its over OT7 Here. Enjoy the ride....You won't want to get off. Trust me. These Young men are so Talented its unreal. Try " Mikrocosmos" and "Spring Day" "you are my universe " with Coldplay. Absolutely Amazing.
