BTS – Face Yourself: A Deep Reflection Through Sound

Released on April 4, 2018, Face Yourself is BTS’s third full-length Japanese album and a powerful emotional journey packed with introspection, vulnerability, and strength. Rather than offering a collection of just translated songs, this album dives deeper into themes of identity, inner struggle, and self-confrontation—true to its name.

The album includes both Japanese versions of previously released Korean hits and three original Japanese tracks, making it a meaningful entry in BTS’s global discography.

Track Highlights:

  1. Intro: Ringwanderung – An instrumental that sets a somber, reflective tone.

  2. Best of Me (Japanese Ver.) – A soaring, EDM-infused anthem about love and trust.

  3. Blood Sweat & Tears (Japanese Ver.) – A sensual track about surrender and desire.

  4. Don't Leave Me – A haunting, emotional original song filled with urgency and longing.

  5. Let Go – A powerful original ballad about releasing someone you once loved.

  6. Crystal Snow – A fan-favorite that captures fragile beauty and emotional clarity.


Other tracks include:
DNA (Japanese Ver.), Not Today (Japanese Ver.), MIC Drop (Japanese Ver.), and Go Go (Japanese Ver.)

Theme & Feel

Face Yourself encourages listeners to confront the hidden parts of themselves—the fears, regrets, and emotional scars we often avoid.
