Back on February 13, 2017, BTS released Spring Day as the title track for their popular album You Never Walk Alone, a repackaged version of Wings. The emotional ballad track is known for having heart-touching lyrics. It was speculated that the song partially mourned the tragic Sewol ferry disaster that shocked the world back in 2014. Through its melancholic tune, Spring Day remembered those young lives lost in the tragedy. The song was a massive success globally and remains one of BTS' greatest hits of all time.
The music video also reached a milestone as the fastest in K-pop, reaching 10 million views on YouTube. The septet earned many accolades with this song including Golden Disc Awards, MelOn Music Awards, and more.
