The meaning behind “Permission To Dance” seems pretty straightforward. With lyrics like, “I wanna dance / The music’s got me going / Ain’t nothing that can stop how we move” and “Don’t need to talk the talk / just walk the walk tonight / ‘Cause, we don’t need permission to dance” it’s pretty clear the BTS guys are ready to party and they want you to join in with them.
Many of the group’s songs are feel-good tunes, but this one is a call for people to put on great music – they suggest Elton John in the song – and dance to your heart’s content. However, the Times of India has written that their video also passes on another meaning to ARMY. In the backdrop to their video, there are messages in graffiti about ending hate crimes towards the Asian communities. Similarly, a purple balloon is let go of and drifts to the sky. The publication writes that this may represent letting go of the pandemic. If you simply can’t wait to see BTS perform “Permission To Dance” live then you’re in luck. “The Tonight Show” revealed on Twitter that the boys would be taking part in a two-day takeover on July 13 and 14. They’ll be performing their new track alongside “Butter.”
