“Blue” is a homage to old school R&B with a modern twist. It starts out with a simple guitar, then quickly transitions into a combination of drums and Taehyung’s sensual vocals.
The MV is a grayscale video depicting Taehyung driving around searching for someone, growing increasingly impatient with each unanswered knock and call. He eventually sits despondently on a swing set as a woman lets a dog presumed to be his run towards him.
