Intro: Never Mind

BTS's 'Intro: Never Mind' is a powerful track that delves into themes of perseverance, ambition, and resilience. The song begins with a reflection on the artist's past, where they ran forward without looking around, eventually becoming a source of pride for their family and achieving a degree of success. The lyrics suggest a journey from humble beginnings to reaching a point where the artist has grown both physically and in perspective, with a nod to their youthful days spent in a basement studio in Namsandong, leading up to the more affluent area of Apgujeong.

The song addresses the skepticism and discouragement from those around them, with others warning against pursuing music and risking financial ruin. However, the artist chooses to ignore the naysayers and live according to their own beliefs and passions. There's a defiance in the lyrics, a challenge to those who wished for their failure, asking if they appear to have ruined their family as some had predicted. The repeated lines 'I don’t give a shit, I don’t give a fuck' emphasize a strong dismissal of others' opinions and a focus on personal conviction.

The chorus of 'Never Mind' is an anthem of determination. It encourages listeners to push through adversity, to step harder when facing obstacles, and to keep moving forward even when mistakes are made. The metaphor of moss not growing on a rolling stone suggests that staying active and persistent prevents stagnation. The song's message is clear: don't let fear of failure or the judgment of others stop you from pursuing your dreams. It's a call to the youth, and to anyone facing challenges, to never give up and to embrace the struggles as part of the journey.
