🎵 Song Overview

- Artist: 방탄소년단 (BTS)
- Released: 2017
- Genre: Hip-hop / Trap / Alternative
This track was released as part of the 2017 "Seo Taiji 25th Anniversary Project," where contemporary artists reinterpreted legendary songs by Seo Taiji and Boys. BTS reimagined the 1995 protest anthem "Come Back Home," infusing it with modern hip-hop beats, trap influences, and new lyrics written by BTS members RM and J-Hope, while preserving the spirit of youth rebellion and social criticism.
📖 What It's About
The original version spoke to a generation lost in apathy and inequality. BTS’s version updates that message for today’s youth—calling out to those who feel abandoned by society, encouraging them to come back to their true selves, to their dreams, and to hope. It’s a powerful reminder of solidarity in struggle.
💬 Why I Love It
This isn’t just a cover—it’s a transformation. BTS respects the original’s message while bringing their own voice to the table. RM and J-Hope’s verses are sharp and urgent, and the modern production makes it feel like the anthem of a new generation. It's both nostalgic and fresh—a rare combination.
The project was personally supported by Seo Taiji, who praised BTS for their musical and cultural resonance. This remake not only honored K-pop’s roots but also showed how socially conscious messages can still thrive in mainstream music.
