The song "Ma City" by BTS has lyrics that talk about the members' personal experiences living in their respective cities of South Korea. The song acknowledges the hardship that they have gone through but also highlights the pride they have for their hometowns. The haunting refrain "In ma city, yo eh yo yo eh" stays at the forefront of the song and punctuates the pride and joy that each member has when it comes to their respective cities. The track switches between the feats and obstacles that each member faced when they were young and speaks to the unending support their hometowns gave them.
The song opens by reiterating a shared past of running towards their goals and dreams despite their geographic locations indicating that location didn't matter because they were all still reaching towards success together. It then moves on to speak about the hardships they have faced while chasing their dreams, especially in the music industry. However, the chorus provides a sudden switch in tone moving to a place of pride and joy as each member speaks about their specific city, whether it be Gwangju, Busan, or Daegu.
