Ed Sheeran introduces a hybrid of pop-R&B penning the lyrics for “Make It Right”, another song on the tracklist.
From an introspective angle, RM, a member of the band, delivers ‘Intro: Persona’ as a rap solo on the album.
Other songs included in the album include, ‘Mikrokosmos’, ‘Make it Right’, ‘HOME’, ‘Jamais Vu’, and ‘Dionysus’.

In 2017, the group became the first K-pop band to clinch the Billboard Music Award.
The band won against US artists like Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande and Shawn Mendes.
“Love Yourself: Answer” and “Love Yourself: Tear,” both albums, ranked number one 1 on the Billboard 100 chart in 2018.
