Intro to Singularity is V's second solo song included in BTS's Love Yourself: Tear album, released in 2018. The song has received raved reviews from music critics and media worldwide that it is known to be one of the most critically acclaimed songs of BTS.

Earlier in June this year, the British magazine, CLASH, chose Singularity to be one of BTS's 17 best songs, pinpointing the most striking part of the song to be Taehyung's tonal shifts, his dark, sophisticated timbre, and own backing vocals, which shivers with vibrato. They call the song a rare jewel in BTS' gem-studded crown.

BTS keeps gaining new fans all over the world day after day. With that, new perspectives are drawn to their music ranging from their debut to the latest ones, including Singularity. Being one of the songs that BTS' ARMY recommends the most to new fans, Singularity has gained new enthusiasts from numerous people of various fields. Here are some of them.


Musician and Music Producer

Blake McLain is a musician and a music producer. He is not actually new to BTS, but for Singularity, he brings two of his bandmates who have never listened to BTS before. Blake introduces them to the world of BTS with just one song, the song that when he heard for the first time, he gasped, "Oh my God, what is this?"

From the very beginning, they can't resist ooh-ing each time a note kicks in. They call the song sexy, gorgeous, and just can't stop vibing to the groove because "It's way too good." In the end, one band member says, "I guess I have to listen to BTS now." Singularity, stan attractor.

Filmmaker
Alex Hopkins, a filmmaker, listens to the song, goes through the lyrics, and watches the music video to get the whole interpretation of Singularity, one of the most requested videos he gets.

From the beginning, he is absorbed immediately, saying, "This is already very, very beautiful." Interpreting the song cleverly through every scene and detail, Mike mentions that the song is like V's love letter to himself. In the end, he gasped, "God, it's so beautiful."

Singer and Voice Teacher
Charlie Callota, a professional opera singer and voice teacher, watches one of V's live performances of Singularity during their Love Yourself tour. Although he is not new to BTS music, he has never listened to Singularity before.

"I love his voice," the vocal coach comments. "His voice is very rich yet very light." He explains further how even though he's keeping his voice pulled back, we literally get all that warmth.

"Coordination? Beautiful... His individual coordinated looks at the camera are very impactful. We can't forget that it's a singer's job to be a performer as well and not just a singer." He praises V's coordination of dancing while keeping his voice as relaxed as it is as an amazing athletic feat.

With more than 172.6 million streams on Spotify and 167.9 views on YouTube, Singularity is not done yet - she's still every bit of a queen ready to snatch new stans as she did 3 years ago.
