Overall Meaning

The lyrics to BTS' song "Not Today" convey a powerful message of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. It starts off by acknowledging that there may be days when we lose, when the odds are against us, but today is not that day. The song encourages us to fight and never give up, even when things seem bleak.


The chorus repeatedly states "Not, not today" as a mantra to reject defeat and refuse to back down. It emphasizes the importance of standing up and raising our voices, refusing to be silenced or to kneel. The lyrics also highlight the importance of unity and trust, urging us to believe in each other and in the strength of the BTS fandom, known as ARMY.


The verses in the song expand on the theme of not succumbing to failure. They stress that today is a good day, a day where we will survive and overcome any obstacles in our path. The lyrics use metaphors like "light breaking through the darkness" to symbolize the power and resilience within each individual. The song reinforces the idea that together, we can face any challenges and emerge victorious.

He is wearing a red jacket in this video and has black/blue hair. He's a rapper. We sometimes call him Motionless Min because he's very "slow" and avoids doing anything in his free time. He's far from lazy though. You can check out his mixtape called 'Agust D'. ❤️

Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook):

He has a brownish hair in this video. He's a vocalist and a dancer. He also raps sometimes. We call him golden maknae because he's the youngest in the group and can sing, rap, dance, draw, cook etc. His motto is: "Living without passion is like being dead". ❤️

Jimin (Park Jimin):

1:59
He has a pink hair in this video. He's a vocalist and a dancer. He has awesome abs. He likes to tease other members (in a good way), he's very cute. Loves reading comic books, they influenced him a lot. ❤

J-Hope (Jung Hoseok):

He is wearing a white cap. He's a rapper and a dancer. He's our little sunshine, full of positive energy. He chose the name "J-Hope" as his stage name because he wants to be a source of light and hope for his fans. Best dancer in the group. ❤

Jin (Kim Seokjin):

A.R.M.Y. stands for Adorable Representative M.C for Youth. 💖

Tip: Try not to remember them for their hair colors because they dye their hair often.

Once again, you're more than welcome to our family. 💕 You'll enjoy it, and once you become an ARMY, there's no going back😜

Once you JimIN, you can't JimOut.😂❤

-i didn't write who is main or lead dancer/rapper/vocalist because some sites say main and some say lead so it's best like this😊
