A week after it was first announced, the solo song from V (a.k.a. Kim Taehyung) of BTS for the Itaewon Class soundtrack is finally here. On March 13, V’s OST for the series debuted on the latest episode, Part.12, and dropped shortly after on the VLENDING YouTube channel as well as streaming platforms. Called “Sweet Night,” the song is a direct reference to the show’s DanBam pub, a location that plays an integral part in the storyline. “Sweet Night,” which was composed, written, produced and sung by V himself, is a perfect fit for the series. The low-tempo ballad dwells on conflicting feelings of lost love and hope — themes that will certainly ring a bell if you have been keeping up with the show on Netflix. Without spoiling too much, the show's official summary on Netflix reads, "In a colorful Seoul neighborhood, an ex-con and his friends fight a mighty foe to make their ambitious dreams for their street bar a reality." Prior to its release, the song was described as an acoustic indie-pop ballad. Though featuring objectively heartbreaking lyrics, the soft composition of the song is comforting, making it the perfect track not to chase the blues away, but to embrace them as part of your growth. That message fits right at home with V’s healing repertoire and the plot Itaewon Class. “On my pillow / Can’t get me tired / Sharing my fragile truth / That I still hope the door is open / Cuz the window / Opened one time with you and me / Now my forever’s falling down,” V sings in English. “I wanna ask you / If this is all just in my head / My heart is pounding tonight / I wonder / If you / Are too good to be true.” The song’s title is a direct translation of the pub’s name, whose name genesis is also explained in the series and holds a special meaning for main character Park Sae-roy (played by V’s IRL close friend Park Seo-joon).
