BTS’ Spring Day Turns Seven: BTS or Bangtan Sonyeondan released their melancholic song ‘Spring Day’ on love, loss, and longing seven years ago today. The song was released as the title track of their sixth studio album 'Wings' repackage 'You Never Walk Alone'. It was promoted as the band's second special album and was released on February 13, 2017. The song is loved by ARMYs for its consoling messages on dealing with the loss of a loved one, missing them, to finally accepting their absence and moving on. The song addresses the pain and trauma one feels in the absence of a loved one and how difficult it becomes to deal with it.
