Around the world in a day rm lyrics meaning
If “Indigo,” BTS leader RM’s past album from 2022, describes him defining what it means to be human, RM’s newest album, “Right Place, Wrong Person,” tells the story of his raw experience putting that definition into practice. It is this experience of RM turning off the switch of TV friendly RM and diving deep into finding who the “real me” is, that expresses the true theme of his album, “Right Place, Wrong Person.” Each song that’s housed in this album sets a precedent of one’s freedom to be human, no matter how many people know their name or not.
As soon as one starts playing the first song, “Right People, Wrong Place,” they are whisked into the world of RM’s mind as electronic sounds mix with a breathy voice and an 80s style synthesizer. The listener is then introduced to the album’s theme right off the bat when different reiterations of “right and wrong” constantly repeat. While RM repeats those words, he reads out different phrases in the background of the song, representing the different opinions of the people who have criticized RM in the past. All these voices in this first song express the conflict that RM is having within himself; different voices, all his own, expre

On December 7, at midnight KST, BTS’ RM, aka Kim Namjoon, took his fans by surprise by releasing the music video of Around the World in a Day, featuring Moses Sumney. His latest release is a B-side track from his second solo album, Right Place, Wrong Person, which he released back in May. RM’s new song premiered on HYBE Labels’ YouTube channel, which pleasantly delighted all his fans.
Around the World in a Day is an evocative blend of alternative soul and R&B that explores the themes of human connection, longing and travel. It features RM’s introspective rap verses and deep, resonant tones, which harmonise beautifully with Moses Sumney’s haunting falsetto. Together, the two create an emotional soundscape that perfectly complements the lyrics, “I love ’em, all your lies."
In the music video directed by rafhoo and with creative direction from San Yawn, the 30-year-old K-pop idol is seen exploring different landscapes and cultural setti
While the 11-track album, which dropped three weeks ago, has been lauded as the sophomore follow-up to the critically and commercially successful Indigo, it is in fact Namjoon’s fourth solo excursion. Looking back to his ‘mixtapes’, RM in 2015 and Mono in 2018, it is clear to see Namjoon’s artistic journey, which starts with the youthful swagger of teenage rebellion and rap-heavy beats of his self-titled debut, before becoming more reflective and introspective in Mono and his first official solo album, Indigo. Right Place, Wrong Person sees a more confrontational Namjoon, reminiscent of his first mixtape. However, this does not mean that his latest album is a repetition of the past, but merely that an artist’s journey to self-realisation needs always to be understood in terms of the oeuvre and where the work sits within it. Of course, his solo work is always haunted by that of his other persona as the leader of the globally successful BTS, with the responsibilities that have come with it and the corresponding acclaim and continual criticism.
As Namjoon approaches 30, he is in a reflective and combative mood, commenting on his personal journey alongside the weight of
It’s been a little over six months since RM and the remaining members of BTS enlisted into the military, and around the same amount of hour that we have been anticipating what would be the next project by the legendary K-POP leader, even if we weren’t aware of it. After months of teasing on a second Instagram account that kept us on our toes, last month it was announced RM would release his second full-length album, Right Place, Wrong Person, and released the pre-release single ‘Come Back To Me.’ With all seven members currently fulfilling their military duties, ARMY collectively chose not to expect too much during their absence, so this album release was quite the treat for the fandom!
Born from curiosity, Right Place, Erroneous Person explores RM’s inner musings as he asks himself the question: “If I hadn’t taken this path, what would my life look like now?” It’s no secret that life would be different if he wasn’t RM of BTS, and it’s easy to fall into the rabbit hole of wonderings and “what if’s?” Luckily for us, these ponderings ignited a creative spark and birthed a whole recent record for us to enjoy! Let’s dive into
Hangul
Look around, say I love ’em, all your lies
Only time will sort it out (if it’s right, if it’s wrong, then I’ll tell you)
Only time will sort it out (oh, now what’s wrong?)
Is it right? Is it wrong? I can tell you that I’ve outgrown
Look around, say I love ’em, all your lies
Only time will sort it out (is it right? Is it wrong? Could you tell me?)
Is it right? Is it wrong? Could you tell me it’s true?
Only time will sort it out (tell you it’s true, yeah, hey, ooh)
Pmm, pmm, pmm-pmm, let’s start the parade
If it’s by design, only time will sort it out
Pmm, pmm, pmm-pmm, let’s run the night
If it’s their design, only time will sort it out
Mmm, mmm, mmm-hmm, let’s end masquerade
If it’s by design, only time will sort it out
Oh, oh, oh-oh, what’s wrong is right (what’s wrong is right)
Yet it’s our design, and we’ll be marchin’
I see lovin’ all around the town (all around the town)
I see lovin’ all around and ’round (all around and ’round)
I see lovin’ all around the town (all around the town)
I see lovin’ all around
