'Life Goes On' by BTS: Full Lyrics in English
Previous chart-topper “Life Goes On” returns to the World Digital Song Sales ranking at No. 1, where it debuted late last year.

BTS are probably the most successful act of all time when looking at that one tally, and once again they’re enjoying a truly incredible week on the list, despite the fact that nothing new from the band finds its way to the ranking this time around.

BTS fill 10 spots on this week’s World Digital Song Sales chart, occupying 40% of all the available spaces on the 25-rung tally. That’s an amazing showing for any group or solo musician, but it’s not even the most impressive demonstration from the South Korean septet. What is perhaps most astonishing about BTS’s performance this frame is that their domination is thanks almost entirely to returning smashes, as opposed to a slew of new placements.

Previous chart-topper “Life Goes On” returns to the World Digital Song Sales ranking at No. 1, where it debuted late last year. The tune wasn’t present on last week’s roster, so the fact that it reappears as high as a cut can climb is certainly impressive.

BTS is off to a good start after they dropped the MV of their title track of “Life Goes On” which has been lauded by ARMYs all around the world as a positive reflection of their experiences during the time of uncertainty that this challenging time presents.

From the opening bars when Jungkook sings “One day, the world stopped without any warming,” fans already knew that they were in for an emotional ride. They were not wrong. But here are a few interesting facts that you might not know about “Life Goes On” and what makes it so special.

Check out the English lyrics and sing along:

[Intro]

I remember

I, I, I remember

Ah, ah

[Verse 1: Jung Kook, Jimin]

One day, the world stopped

Without any warning

Spring didn't know to wait

Showed up not even a minute late

Streets erased of footprints

I lie here, fallen to the ground

Time goes by on its own

Without a single apology, yeah

[Verse 2: RM]

It looks like rain again today

I'm soaked to the bone

Still won't stop (Hey)

Running faster than that cloud of rain

Thought that'd be enough

Guess I'm only human after all

I'm in a world of pain

This cold the damn world gave to me (Woo)

Prompts me to press the dust-covered rewind

Dancing off-beat lying on the ground

Once winter comes, let's exhale

A warmer breath

[Pre-Chorus: V, Jung Kook]

There's no end in sight

Is there a way out?

My feet refuse to move, oh

Close your eyes for a moment

Hold my hand

To that future, let's run away

[Chorus: Jung Kook & Jimin]

Like an echo in the forest

The day will come back around

As if nothing happened

Yeah, life goes on

Like an arrow in the blue sky

Another day flying by

On my pillow, on my table

Yeah, life goes on

Like this again

[Verse 3: SUGA]

Let me tell you with this song (Ayy)

People say the world has changed (No)

Mm-mm-mm-mm

But thankfully between you and me

Nothing's changed

[Verse 4: j-hope, Jung Kook]

With the 'annyeong' that we start and finish the day

Let us thread tomorrow with today (Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh-woah)

Stopped for now but don't hide in the shadow

Once again daylight will glow

[Pre-Chorus: V & Jung Kook, Jin]

There's no end in sight

Is there a way out?

My feet refuse to move, oh

Close your eyes for a moment (Close it)

Hold my hand (Hold it)

To that future, let's run away (Oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus: All, Jimin]

Like an echo in the forest

The day will come back around

As if nothing happened

Yeah, life goes on (Oh, woah)

Like an arrow in the blue sky

Another day flying by (Flies by)

On my pillow, on my table

Yeah, life goes on

Like this again

[Outro: Jimin & V]

I remember

I, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

I remember

Ah-ah, ah-ah

I remember

I, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

I remember

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Interesting facts you may not know about BTS’ emotional comeback track ‘Life Goes On’

It’s a powerhouse track

The song was composed by BTS’ rap line members RM, J-Hope and Suga in collaboration with Antonina Armato, Chris James, Ruuth and Pdogg. Pdogg, who is a multi-awarded composer and producer specializing in easy listening tracks, also produced for BE’s title track.

It’s directed by Jungkook

Fans have been raving for golden maknae (youngest member) Jungkook’s artistic eye for photography and cinematography ever since he started uploading his GCF clips on BTS’ YouTube channel.

This year, his BTS hyungs (big bros) made sure that their youngest member got to showcase his budding skills even more by encouraging him to direct their comeback music video. As a result, Jungkook formally debuts as a director for “Life Goes On.” This was also the reason that #Jungkook and #JK were trending worldwide, along with #LifeGoesOn, just in case you’re wondering. ARMYs just can’t express enough how proud they are of their little superstar.

Indeed, Jungkook is putting his in Broadcasting and Entertainment major from Global Cyber University to good use.

It already surpassed ‘Dynamite’s’ viewing record

It’s more like destroyed. It can be recalled that “Dynamite” became the fastest music video to reach 1 million views within 52 minutes when it premiered last August 21. “Life Goes On” managed to achieve the feat in 36 minutes. It’s already nearing 60 million views merely 20 hours since its release.

It was shot in the same location as IU’s “Eight” music video

When Big Hit Entertainment dropped the teasers for “Life Goes On,” they immediately noticed that the location looked familiar. It was the same set as IU’s music video for “Eight.”

What connects these two projects together? Suga.

Suga was the featured artist and producer of IU’s smash hit last May, which proceeded to make a perfect all-kill in all Korean real time charts immediately after it was released.

It topped iTunes charts in 75 countries

Perhaps, this is nothing new to BTS fans but “Life Goes On” followed the tradition of its predecessors and topped the iTunes charts of 75 countries in only 12 hours. In the US, it took only one hour for RM, J-Hope, Jin, Suga, Jimin, V and Jungkook to dominate the chart.

BTS could perform “Life Goes On” on Good Morning America

It’s been confirmed that BTS will kick off the US Thanksgiving Week on Nov. 23. It is expected that the group will perform “Life Goes On” for the first time for a global audience for their appearance.
