FAKE LOVE
BTS. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

널 위해서라면
난 슬퍼도 기쁜 척 할 수가 있었어
널 위해서라면
난 아파도 강한 척 할 수가 있었어

사랑이 사랑만으로 완벽하길
내 모든 약점들은 다 숨겨지길
이뤄지지 않는 꿈속에서
피울 수 없는 꽃을 키웠어
(I'm so afraid of, I'm so sick of this fake love)

I'm so sick of this fake love
Fake love, fake love
I'm so sorry, but it's fake love
Fake love, fake love

I wanna be a good man just for you
세상을 줬네 just for you
전부 바꿨어 just for you
Now I don't know me, who are you?

Hey 우리만의 숲, 너는 없었어
내가 왔던 route 잊어버렸어
나도 내가 누구였는지도 잘 모르게 됐어 (eh)
거울에다 지껄여봐, 너는 대체 누구니?

널 위해서라면
난 슬퍼도 기쁜 척 할 수가 있었어
널 위해서라면
난 아파도 강한 척 할 수가 있었어

사랑이 사랑만으로 완벽하길
내 모든 약점들은 다 숨겨지길
이뤄지지 않는 꿈속에서
피울 수 없는 꽃을 키웠어
(I'm so afraid of, I'm so sick of this fake love)

Love you so bad, love you so bad
널 위해 예쁜 거짓을 빚어내
Love it's so mad, love it's so mad
날 지워 너의 인형이 되려 해

Love you so bad, love you so bad
널 위해 예쁜 거짓을 빚어내
Love it's so mad, love it's so mad
날 지워 너의 인형이 되려 해

I'm so sick of this fake love
Fake love, fake love
I'm so sorry, but it's fake love
Fake love, fake love

Why you sad?
I don't know 난 몰라 (oh, yeah)
웃어봐, "사랑해" 말해봐
나를 봐, 나조차도 버린 나 (oh, no)
너조차 이해할 수 없는 나

낯설다 하네, 니가 좋아하던 나로 변한 내가 (oh)
아니라 하네, 예전에 니가 잘 알고 있던 내가 (oh)
아니긴 뭐가 아냐? 난 눈 멀었어
사랑은 뭐가 사랑? It's all fake love

Ooh, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
Ooh 나도 날 나도 날 모르겠어
Ooh, I just know, I just know, I just know why
'Cause it's all fake love, fake love, fake love
(I'm so afraid of, I'm so sick of this fake love)

Love you so bad, love you so bad
널 위해 예쁜 거짓을 빚어내
Love it's so mad, love it's so mad
날 지워 너의 인형이 되려 해

Love you so bad, love you so bad
널 위해 예쁜 거짓을 빚어내
Love it's so mad, love it's so mad
날 지워 너의 인형이 되려 해

I'm so sick of this fake love
Fake love, fake love
I'm so sorry, but it's fake love
Fake love, fake love

널 위해서라면
난 슬퍼도 기쁜 척 할 수가 있었어
널 위해서라면
난 아파도 강한 척 할 수가 있었어

사랑이 사랑만으로 완벽하길
내 모든 약점들은 다 숨겨지길




이뤄지지 않는 꿈속에서
피울 수 없는 꽃을 키웠어

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of BTS's "FAKE LOVE" delve into the complex emotions of pretending to be someone you're not for the sake of love. The singer expresses their ability to fake happiness and strength if it means making their loved one happy. They yearn for a perfect love where all their flaws can be hidden, cultivating unattainable dreams like growing a flower that cannot bloom within their relationship. The repeated refrain "I'm so sick of this fake love" reveals their exhaustion and disillusionment with putting on a facade to maintain the relationship.


The lyrics also touch upon the idea of transformation and losing oneself in the process of trying to please someone else. The singer questions their identity, as reflected in lines like "Now I don't know me, who are you?" and "거울에다 지껄여봐, 너는 대체 누구니?" These lines highlight the struggle of losing one's sense of self in a relationship where authenticity seems to have been sacrificed in the pursuit of love.


The chorus emphasizes the internal conflict and turmoil caused by this fake love, with the singer acknowledging their own deception by saying, "Love you so bad, love you so bad, 널 위해 예쁜 거짓을 빚어내." The juxtaposition of love being presented as both beautiful and mad further reflects the contradictions and complexities of the relationship. The mention of becoming a doll to be erased by the loved one signifies a loss of agency and identity within the relationship dynamic.


Towards the end of the song, the singer expresses confusion and frustration with the situation, questioning the authenticity and meaning of love. The repeated instances of not knowing oneself and feeling blinded by love underscore the theme of grappling with self-awareness and the effects of fake love on one's psyche. The overall message of the song seems to be a poignant reflection on the pain and emptiness that can result from putting on a false front in a relationship, ultimately leading to a yearning for genuine connection and self-acceptance.

BTS came from a small company, they started with nothing.
Jin who was casted just because of his looks,
Suga who left his family and gambled his education just to do what he really wanted to be,
Namjoon who was never have been supported by his parents,
Jimin who thought himself as ugly and fat,
Taehyung whose always been part of BTS but was never shown in any promotions- not until they debut,
Hoseok who seemed to always laugh but never felt as an accomplishment to his father,
And Jungkook who was very shy and have saved his parents at a young age by auditioning to companies.
Remember the days when they were struggling?
They even have to sacrifice and work hard just so they could eat?
They were squeezing themselves into one small apartment and have to take responsibilities- the reason why they wrote the song 'Move'.

Those times when Jimin has to starve himself just because people calls him fat and ugly.
That one interview where Yoongi said that; it was nice that people listens to their music because Taehyung and Jungkook are good looking.
And he thought that it was at least enough.
Do you remember when Hoseok was supposed to be the vocalist and Taehyung is the rapper, but he chose to rap instead and learn it because Taehyung wants to be a Vocalist.
It was Taehyung's dream and Hoseok loves his dongsaeng that much he would sacrifice.
Other fan base were accusing them for plagiarism just because they had the smallest detail whose the same with other big K-pop group which is actually just a coincidence.
There was a time when Yoongi packed 300 gifts and letters just to give to their 300 fans who will attend at their mini fan meetings.
So why do people judge them so fastly?
Did you know that Jimin came all the way to Seoul from Busan just to persuade his dreams?
Did you know that Taehyung lived with his grandma gor almost half of his life making him innocent from what else is out there in our world?
Did you know that Jungkook set aside his embarrassment just to meet the others expectations?
Yes, he is the golden maknae, but he suffers too when he see his hyungs having a hard time, he cries.
And there was a time when Jimin caught him crying and the reason is because he misses his family.
Jungkook often cry secretly so that his hyungs wouldn't worry.
Did you know that Jin auditioned to make his mother proud of him and so that his mom would have something to brag off to those judgmental neighbors they have.
He worked hard on his vocals yet people called him talentless.
Did you know that Namjoon worked hard just to produce songs yet there was a time when his mom ruined his computer and broke his mike so he could focus on studying?
Did you know that Hoseok auditioned because he wanted his father to be proud of him?
Because he felt like he was a disappointment?
Those rookie days where they only listen to the awardings and be amazed by their seniors.
They can't do anything but to watch those idols who receives the awards.
The days when they were happy with just 300 views on YouTube, mini fangatherings, small numbers of followers, and one Daesang award.
They were contented.
And now they've reached to the top and became more successful. From 150 fans to 6M and counting,
From a small practice room to a bigger one,
From cramped dorm with roommates to big dorm with each of them having a room,
From one daesang award to more awards and they've even won on BBMAs.
BTS never expected this before their fourth year anniversary, they've come so far- so far that the only chance we have to see them is to go to their concertor (NEVER) meet them along the street with 0.01% chance.
But really ARMYs! We've came this far fam, let's love them and give them our support till the end!
I wanted to thank y'all. I love you fam! I love BTS. Let's stay together until the end. If you believe in what I've said. If you believe in 1! 2! 3!
A true ARMY shall spread this

Yoongi-yaaaaaaa...my little meow meow that i love with all my heart.
Today, i still miss you soooooooooooo much. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Please don't overwork yourself in the studio too much.
Enjoy your sleep. I wish you could sleep for a long time on a bright day without yellow dust.
I wish you could smile and be happy after finding a new speaker or a new MIDI equipment that you have wanted for so long.
I wish you always surrounded by people that you love.
Please always be happy and healthy, my love.
Don't ever worry about us.
We are here. Always. 💜💜
