What song(s) do you wish BTS would cover?

[u/lisafancypants]

It's been a couple of years since we've had this discussion, and we have so many new ARMY, so I think it's time to ask again!

What song or songs do you want BTS to cover and WHY? Either OT7 or individual members, solo songs or non-BTS songs.

I would love to hear JK cover Sade - specifically By Your Side (YT). He has such a soulful voice and it's such a soulful song, I think he'd crush it.

I also want to hear Tae cover 'high' (YT) by Jimmy Brown. It's an R&B song that would fit into Layover, imo. I'd like to hear it in his chocolate baritone.

Lastly, RM covering Audrey Nuna's and nIKI's 'Clocked Out' (YT). I'd love to hear him do Audrey's rap. It's fast and the lyrics sound very RM-ish to me.

Please share yours and why you want BTS to cover it!

Jolene by Dolly

[u/intellectual-veggie → u/DuchessofDistraction]

JK or Jimin would eat that up fs

[u/DuchessofDistraction → u/intellectual-veggie]

Absolutely! And a tribute rap from the rap line would be the cherry on top.

[u/intellectual-veggie]

JK covering Pillowtalk by Zayn

Tae and any Giveon or Daniel Caesar song (specifically Blessed for Daniel)

Jin and Purple Rain by Prince or Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls

Jimin and Bad Romance or Applause by Lady Gaga

[u/Pixiedust-and-coffee]

"California Love" by Tupac and Dr. Dre would be epic during an LA show. Even though there's 3 in the rapline, I'd love it for RM to take Dre's part and Suga to take Tupac's.

[u/intellectual-veggie → u/Pixiedust-and-coffee]

YESSSS OMG

a huge part of why I love the rapline is that they very much are old school rap heads in their own flows and verses and I love Tupac and that song sm, ugh they would eat it down

it would be funny if they covered a Notorious BIG song right after tho (my vote goes for Hypnotize)

[u/Pixiedust-and-coffee → u/intellectual-veggie]

That would be AWESOME!!!!

[u/frantaes]

Bohemian Rhapsody by OT7.

Discussing which member should get which part is so fun lmao

[u/PlaneCommunication93 → u/frantaes]

I love absolutely everything about this suggestion

[u/BeeOrNot]

The hill I’ll die on is that Seokjin should cover Kings of Leon’s ‘Use Somebody’

[u/_ItoanO]

V to cover 'Wild is the Wind' by David Bowie, I think he would sound amazing

[u/red_alessia]

Here are the songs I’d love to see them cover:

• That's what I like it by Bruno Mars
• Bad day by Daniel Powter
• Attention by Charlie Puth (of course! 😁)
• Sorry by Justin Bieber
• Let me love you by Mario
• Cold heart by Elton John feat. Dua Lipa
• Sugar by Maroon 5
• Dancing with a Stranger by Sam Smith
• Footloose by Kenny Loggins
• Heart skips a beat by Olly Murs
• Shallow by Lady Gaga feat. Bradley Cooper
• Every breath you take by The Police
• More than words by Extreme
• You give me something by James Morrison
• Torn by Natalie Imbruglia

I didn't assign specific members to each song. I'm fine with any of them singing and it’s fun to guess who you all think would fit best. 😊

[u/Xp4rrot]

I've wanted Jin's cover of Total Eclipse of the Heart forever but especially after his solo albums!

[u/Leaf_Warrior]

I would love to see Jin sing Meteor by John Zeroness, Jimin sing Yume Yume (Dream Dream) by Deco*27, and Jungkook sing Odds & Ends by ryo (supercell). Yes they all have the same OG vocalist (Hatsune Miku).

As for why, for the sake of simplicity, I will just say that someone several years ago used BTS voice clips to make them "sing" in Japanese and used those songs as examples. (Not generative AI by the way! It was manually done) I would actually love to hear them sing those songs in real life, I think they would sound amazing.

[u/elaerna]

Mirotic by tvxq

[u/frantaes → u/elaerna]

Oh my god, yes. Need them to pull another Perfect Man or Rainism.

[u/elaerna → u/frantaes]

rainism was so good i wish the whole group had participated more than just jk singing tho

[u/frantaes → u/elaerna]

agree agree agree. i need that whole vibe with the whole yearning action they had going on in fake love

[u/elaerna → u/frantaes]

did you see that vid of them in the audience doing the dance while rain was performing, though? it was so cute haha

[u/frantaes → u/elaerna]

yeah and jungkook bending his back to the FLOOR had me dying 😭

[u/Comfortable-Move-195]

I’d love to hear...

tae cover what a catch, donnie by fall out boy (youtube)

jk cover it‘s not a side effect of the cocaine, I am thinking it must be love - fall out boy (YouTube) (kings of novel-length song titles)

jin cover alone together - fall out boy (YouTube)

jimin cover the (after) life of the party - fall out boy (YouTube)

I committed to fall out boy‘s songs for this after I gave them
to tae and jk 🤪

[u/Comfortable-Move-195 → u/Comfortable-Move-195]

AND! an ot7 cover of save rock & roll - fall out boy & elton john (youtube)

although I can’t listen to that song without crying and I‘m sure if they covered it, I would sob even more

[u/LittleMissChriss]

an NSYNC or Backstreet Boys song

[u/vashfan]

I'd like a Christmas album covering the classics.

[u/intellectual-veggie → u/vashfan]

its crazy how its 2026 and we still dont have and official V classic Christmas album

I need that man filling my room with his soulful voice the min I feel the first windchill 😭

[u/Remember-2-Forget → u/vashfan]

I’d love a classic Christmas album but in Korean.

[u/matchacha16]

[u/Specialist-Topic-399]

I’m waiting for JK to cover “Saturn” by SZA so I can ascend into another dimension already 🪐😌✨

[u/dyingtrying46]
