BTS’s V shook the music industry with his first-ever self-composed song entitled “Scenery” in January 2019. The song which showcases his fine artistry as a lyricist and composer laid a strong foundation for his career as a songwriter as well as a composer and producer.

While the song became a chart-buster on SoundCloud and touched millions of hearts worldwide, V maintained a vague silence on the making of the song. However, a year later, thanks to BTS’s new docuseries: Break The Silence, the questions regarding “Scenery” have finally been answered.

In one of the scenes, V shared a demo of the song  which as beautiful as it sounds, was very different from the released version.

As the episode progressed, fans were also blessed with a glimpse of the initial draft of the lyrics as V spoke about his struggles as well as dreams as a song-writer.

V noted on how he wished to translate the moments of his life he holds dear to his heart into songs and said: “The way I look at the world when I take photos, the people I see through the lens, the scenery, the streets, and the sky, I wanted to write about what those things mean to me.” He further added on the importance of photography to him and said: They are not just photos, but a real source of strength to me.”

The episode beautifully highlighted V’s authenticity and creativity as an artist as he worked hard at recording the song as well as personally adding the sounds that perfected “Scenery” into the well-thought-out and detailed masterpiece that it is today.

V also shared what “Scenery” stands for and said: By looking at photographs, I can reminisce about my memories. The song is saying “this is how I spent my youth.” I want more memories like that and I will continue to capture them.”

Since the release of “Scenery”, V has graced us with various other incredible self-compositions such as “Winter Bear” and “Sweet Night” which not only showcases his growth as a singer-songwriter but as an artist with the potential to be one of the finest composers in the industry.
