Tomorrow (from Skool Luv Affair ) – a message to hopeless youth that is still a concert staple. Part 2: The HYYH (The Most Beautiful Moment in Life) Era (2015–2016) Theme: Anxiety, friendship, growing up, the fear of time, the "loss of innocence." Why it’s important: The era that broke them into mainstream success. Connected music videos form a short film trilogy. | | 40 | Black Swan | Map of the Soul: 7 | Orchestral trap
2! 3! (Hoping for more good days) – a direct message to fans (ARMY) to forget hard times. Part 4: The Love Yourself Era (2017–2018) Theme: From loving another person to loving yourself. The most commercially successful era (US breakthrough).
