"Make It Right" is a song by South Korean boy band BTS. It was released digitally on April 12, 2019, as part of the extended play Map of the Soul: Persona. It was remixed and re-released, featuring Lauv, as the second single from the EP on October 18, 2019.[1]

Background and release

The song was first teased by Suga on Twitter, showing an image of a track and tagging Ed Sheeran with "This is for you." On April 11, a day before release, it was announced as the song Suga had teased in prior months.[2] The title of the song appeared to recount Jin's monologue in the 2017 Love Yourself Highlight Reel during the band's Love Yourself era.[3]

The album version of the song was released digitally on April 12, 2019.[4] The remixed version was teased on the group's and Lauv's social media platforms and officially released on October 18, 2019.

Promotion

The song was promoted on M Countdown April 19, 2019.[5] BTS also performed the original version of the song on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in May 2019.[6] Additionally, BTS performed the song on iHeart Radio Jingle Ball and in New York City's Times Square on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest.[7][8]

Composition and lyrics

"Make It Right" has been described as a falsetto-vocal heavy contemporary R&B track that is, "sung with a breathy, close-miked intensity that gives the curious illusion of intimacy."[9] It uses a looped horn throughout the song, with Rolling Stone comparing it to Amerie's "1 Thing" or Mario's "Let Me Love You" echoing sounds from the 2000s.[10] It is backed with synthesizers, and the lyrics talk about the wish to make the world better and improve relationships.[3] It also speaks about their biggest accomplishments and that without their fans it would feel empty.[11] Newsweek said although the topic of the song can be heavy, the instrumental is light.[12] In the remixed version, Lauv replaces the Korean-language first verse with his own lyrics.

The remix version of the song is in the key of G major with 98 beats per minute while the original is G major with 106 beats per minute.[13]

Reception

The New York Times said about the track: "It has some of Ed Sheeran's signature soft-soul gestures, but BTS renders [it] with complexity,"[14] while Jae-ha Kim from the Chicago Tribune called it "hopeful and optimistic".[4]

Credits and personnel

The song's original credits are adapted from the CD liner notes of Map of the Soul: Persona.[15] Lauv's credits as a songwriter on the remixed version are adapted from Spotify.
