The song ranked 37th - the highest ranking for a Korean song.
According to Rolling Stone, Spring Day is a signature song of BTS, expressing healing and hope amid loss and superficial sounds. The magazine commented that the song has made an important contribution to the journey to make BTS one of the biggest pop groups in the world, proving their "strength in cohesion in music".
Released in February 2017, Spring Day is the lead single from BTS second studio album. The song combines Brit-rock sound, electronic sound and alternative hip-hop, bringing a sad but hopeful color. The lyrics were co-composed by RM and SUGA, inspired by nostalgia, separation and the desire to meet again, making the song profound and easy to touch the emotions of listeners.
In Korea, Spring Day is considered a musical phenomenon, becoming the first song in Melons history to surpass the 1 billion streams accumulated, while holding the record for the longest-running song on this chart - lasting nearly eight consecutive years.
Not only limited to domestic scope, Spring Day also achieved impressive results in the international market. The song debuted at No. 61 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 2017 and stayed there for two consecutive weeks - a rare achievement for music that did not use English at that time.
Nearly eight years after its release, Spring Day is still considered a winter ministries of K-pop fans, regularly returning to the chart every New Years Eve.
BTS is currently said to be preparing for a comeback in the spring of 2026, after completing their military service, with plans to release a new album and hold a global tour next year.
