Even though there will undoubtedly be people who hate the song, I think this is the best piece of music I have heard in a very long time. I love everything about it. (I love the retro vibes it gives.) Jimin's vocals are unmatched and listening to this song is almost like an out of body experience I never want to end! I love this man so much.🥰 Anyone else feel me on this?
After quite a few listens, it suddenly hit me - with the retro feel to the music & the way he sings the verses so intimately, it really gives me the feel of a George Michael song (and I don't mean anything by that except what I've written) .
"For those who are used to seeing the glamorous side of me on stage,this album(and i think "LIKE CRAZY") will show the other side of me and show me overcoming my lonelinese and struggles through music" This was his interview on NiKKei Asia and I feel like i'm gonna go in Korea to give a huge hug to Jimin and tell him that is not alone.🥺❤ Keep streaming Army's 🎤🎤🎤
I saw this interview online too … just hit me in the heart. Yes on the surface the song is cool but it really feels like crying in your head while you are drinking and partying on the outside trying so hard to forget and let go …
This song is not as sexual as it seems. Jimin said that its about escaping reality to deal with one's wounds. The "she" he is referring to isn't necessarily about a love interest but possibly represents Jimin's Anima. We see a girl whose movements mirror Jimin in the mv, they never meet before Jimin cuts to looking at himself in the mirror. What does the Anima means? - An individual's true inner self that in the analytical psychology of Carl Jung reflects archetypal ideals of conduct. Your anima is the unconscious part of your mind that works automatically, without introspection or awareness. Some psychologists believe your anima affects your dreams, fears, and habits (loop this back to what the song is all about). Also the Anima is an inner feminine part of the male personality. Hence the boy and girl kissing is probably Jimin's masculine and feminine side coming together. The person with muddy hands who grabbed Jimin is Jimin himself. What do the mud represent? I'm not 100% sure, but my own personal reading is its Jimin's depression and long standing anxiety (the wounds mentioned but not elaborated by our Mochi). In the mv, Party Jimin is interrupted by the mud and he has to go home to Sad Jimin. Which of the 2 Jimins is in the real world? I haven't figured that out yet :( Maybe both of them are not, hence the dreamlike feel of the mv. Jimin himself asked not to be saved and not to be waken up from the dream. He doesn't want to go back to reality... This mv reminds me of Suga's SHADOW but we are dealing with a different part of the SELF here, one not explored by BTS yet 🙂. RM did PERSONA while Jhope did EGO. And of course all great artists are a lil crazy :)
That’s just a theory invented by an army on twitter tho, you need to specify that first, bcs in all of the interviews Jimin didn’t say anything about the girl being him, instead he said something about losing himself after a break up, oh and he said that it was a sexy song as well btw, I can’t wait for the choreo
I read so many comments on TikTok, twitter, RU-vid etc saying these things, I hope y’all don’t make the song lose the actual meaning thy jimin want it to have
Jimin being my bias I have always thought he has that special something. Like Crazy is a bop. I have listened to it so much and have yet to get tired of it. I am so proud of Jimin and his new album. Sure I wish there were more songs but the ones that are on there are really great. He worked so hard and put himself out there. Jimin is proving that his talent is a force to be reckoned with both as a mamber of BTS and as a solo artist.
Face-Off is my favourite from the album, although I like it all, but whoever said slightly horny lyrics in Like Crazy are because RM co-wrote it, you won the Internet today, my friend 😂😂😂 💜💜💜
@Daisy9 you’re over reacting. They said co-wrote and they’re right he did help co-write so chill out. And the didn’t say Face off they said Like Crazy. Respect goes both ways.
The best reaction, Jose. 🙌 What is Jimin looking for? We're ALL here for him! 💯 These sultry and sensual thoughts during the pandemic 😮 bless him. Love the entire album. 🤌
The music video is cheery but the audio makes me feel nostalgic and sad but in a good way....the layering of the vocals and the cinematography are incredible
This is wht I was waitin for since the album drop... nd it's finally here! Can't wait to scream agn in unison 🤩 HE looks breathtaking🔥 Joseeeeeee that was the BESTEST reaction we could've had.. u never let us down!! I legit enjoyed it squealing throughout
This song and MV together feel like a fever dream but filled with melancholy, not fear; like being half asleep and sensing vague dread but wanting to be happy where you are. Like wanting to be so happy that you'll pretend that you are but knowing that you're not so you dread being by yourself, alone with your thoughts. I love melancholy music, I always have but I know I can't stay there. Thank Jimin for giving us a glimpse into him; but I truly hope as he has said, that he has moved out of it. Love this song, it's going on my melancholy play list 💜.
So exciting. It’s the 24th and I just daw this post. I am so excited to watch tonight. Jimin Isaiah a beautiful man, inside out. Precious, full of integrity, sweet, fun, talented beyond words. It is so pleasing and heartwarming to see the member do so well with their solo projects. God bless home and everyone watching this post. :-)
Ahhhh i love your reaction!! Was crying and laughing through the whole videooo omg nobody is as relatable as youu😭😭💜💜💜 you’re so precious and of course this song is a BOP😭😭 how can Jimin attack us with this crazy brilliant sexy immaculate album 😤😤😭😤😭💜💜💜💜😭😤😤😤😭💜💜💜
The way I interpreted the album, based on the lyrics, imagery and what Jimin himself has said; this was an album that touches upon his depression throughout the pandemic as well and his identity. Except for the hidden track (which reads exactly like a love letter), I interpreted the album as him questioning who he is. Rather than alcohol (although it can be a big part of it), it feels like he used to get drunk on the fame and his work, and not that he was without it he was questioning who he was without it. SMF, for example, touches upon how the expectations from outside sources made him suppress a lot of who he was but no longer. n his interviews over the last few days Jimin said that this whole album is inspired by how he was so depressed over the pandemic. He found not performing in front of fans so hard and there are many times over the pandemic there were behind the scenes videos were he said how hard he found performing without fans. Regarding Like Crazy, Jimin said that it’s about escaping reality to deal with one's wounds. The "she" he is referring to isn't necessarily about a love interest but possibly represents Jimin's Anima. We see a girl whose movements mirror Jimin in the mv, they never meet before Jimin cuts to looking at himself in the mirror. What does the Anima means? - An individual's true inner self that in the analytical psychology of Carl Jung reflects archetypal ideals of conduct. Your anima is the unconscious part of your mind that works automatically, without introspection or awareness. Some psychologists believe one’s anima affects your dreams, fears, and habits (loop this back to what the song is all about). The person with muddy hands who grabbed Jimin is Jimin himself. What do the mud represent? I'm not 100% sure, but my own personal reading is its Jimin's depression related to COVID (and the lack of live performances which he defined himself to) and long standing anxiety. These are the wounds mentioned but not elaborated by our baby. In the MV, Party Jimin is interrupted by the mud and he has to go home to Sad Jimin. Which of the 2 Jimin’s is in the real world? I haven't figured that out yet :( Maybe both of them are not, hence the dreamlike feel of the mv. Jimin himself asked not to be saved and not to be waken up from the dream. He doesn't want to go back to reality... This mv reminds me of Suga's SHADOW but we are dealing with a different part of the SELF here, one not explored by BTS yet. RM did PERSONA while Hobi did EGO. There's so much loneliness and desperation, under the cheery synthpop, I feel. He has said the dream he wants to stay in is BTS...so I took this song as a depiction of his anxiety during the pandemic, when they couldn't perform live, and he was feeling lost...he didn't want to be ripped from the dream, wanted to stay lost in the lights (of performing), didn't want the pandemic to break him. And I think the song also speaks of his other struggles, the tussles between his personas, etc. I felt it was so much deeper than I thought at the first listen. He has expressed those emotions so eloquently in his writing and conveyed them so effectively in his voice. Like Crazy is very, very queer coded to me, which is not something new for Jimin, by the way. The way the woman (both in the MV and the choreo) mirrors him, it feels like a fight between femininity and masculinity, with him embracing both in the end. That, along with the inclusion of Mapplethorpe (which he has referenced before in his photopholio) and a hinted at WLW couple, made me relate a lot. As a queer person, the shot of Jimin standing above a video of people kissing striked me as an image with such loneliness, feeling as if love is unattainable for you, not seeing yourself in any of the images of love out there, being alienated of everything people make love to be...Also, the Anima is an inner feminine part of the male personality. Hence the boy and girl kissing is probably Jimin's masculine and feminine side coming together.
This song is SO good The live performance is going to be crazy and so hot omfg The whole album is amazing 🔥 I’m so proud of Jimin And the MV is great too, got me preparing mentally for a kiss or something between Jimin and that girl but it didn’t happened lmao. I almost passed out 💀 There’s a theory that the girl is JIMIN’S reflection but idk Btw, Namjoon probably wrote the give me a good ride lyrics bc apparently he loves to talk about it 😭
JIMIN has mentioned in an interview explaining his album tracks that there is a movie he really likes and named like crazy and he inspired buy this movie.
Jose, I'm here for you in all of your entirety!! 💜 And I agree, this was definitely a bop, and I love the switch up from Set Me Free, Pt. 2!! We never know which Jimin we're gonna get!! I love the '80s synth pop feel of this and can't wait to hear the rest of the album!!
The club lighting was the perfect addition to your commentary. 😂You make my day José! Jimin was my first love until Yoongi stole my heart, but he’s definitely bias wrecking me right now.❤
I SIMPLY ADORE TO WATCH YOUR REACTIONS, JOSE!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 BTS is already extra but through your eyes we can have SO MUCH MORE!!!!!!!!!! This music is addicting!!! OMG!!! my life in these last days is circulating around Set Me Free pr2 and now, Like Crazy!!!!!!!
Bruh, ya quiero ver tu reacción, este mv me puso irónicamente emocional, se transmite tanta libertad, fiesta sin ataduras, son de esas canciones como para sentirte a ti mismo, ahggggg, 200/10, no puedo esperar por la coreo de esta
You are so so funny. I love your reaction! Mine was basically the same. The song is excellent, so is the MV. As per usual, the lyrics, visuals, vocals, Jimin himself, all tremendous. The entire album is a megahit. I'm so proud of Jimin. 💜
It was shared that if people would just watch the movie they would understand the video better… especially specific locations they decided 😊to film in💜
Your reaction was hilarious, loved it 😂💜 And your reaction to “give me a good ride” was spot on 😂🥵 I absolutely love how different Set Me Free Pt 2 and Like Crazy are. Both so different but both AMAZING songs.. Jimin is AMAZING!!! I am so proud of him 💜💜💜 Btw the real you is awesome!!! 😂💜
Jose, you are my absolute favorite person to fan girl over Jimin with. We are on the same page, my friend! I'm laughing because I would love to go dancing at a club with you (and of course Jimin!)... continue being your true self and I will be along for the ride.
Jimin use to say when he was home alone he would drink probably to ease his loneliness. Most of us have done this in our twenties. Jimin is a normal young man. Drench me, I think he is talking drinking. Same with taste. Not sure about the riding.😁. All the boys have been drunk at sometime or another. NORMAL young man stuff hence the club scene. Anyway that's my take on this since this is supposedly about his feelings during the Pandemic.
I was like, I thought he was going to kiss the girl for a minute, now THAT would be crazy!! However, I do agree it did have subtly sexy/retro vibe.Loved it!
He wanted to be free, have the night but at the end he was still holding back and isolated so even tho he got his hand stained he's still not as free!!
Jimin has said the album is about his mental state and feelings during the pandemic. This song is about escaping reality to deal with ones wounds. The interpretations are interesting .
right after jimin and the female facing each other, he sings "my reflection", yall the female is jimin in female body! ITS REALLY ABOUT FACING HIS OTHER SIDE
