For one thing, “Make It Right” is one of BTS’s most balladic recent songs from the spring’s _Map of the Soul: Persona_ EP, and an earnest expression of gratitude over melodic, R&B-lite production. (It happens to have been written by Ed Sheeran, too.) Meanwhile, Lauv is best known for downtempo pop that lays a bleeding heart bare. Both the [K-pop supergroup](https://time.com/5681494/bts-bang-si-hyuk-interview/) and Lauv are also outspoken advocates of mental health awareness, the former making it a topic of conversation in their [public statements](https://time.com/5405422/bts-k-pop-united-nations-address/), and the latter developing outlets for his fans to focus on the subject at his shows and sharing his experiences at a World Mental Health Day [discussion](https://www.jedfoundation.org/a-conversation-on-mental-health-with-lauv-and-noah-cyrus/). So together, on the new “Make It Right,” they’ve released a song that naturally speaks to both fandoms — and particularly to the powerful force that is BTS’s ARMY. To top it off, the music video that came along with the release is a sweet love letter to those fans. It intersperses footage of the septet performing on their recent world tour in front of their many thousands of supporters with an animated fairy-tale narrative, in which a lost boy battles a dragon and is saved with the help of a magical female character that’s been by his side all along. BTS recently returned from a [month-long break](https://time.com/5650024/is-bts-taking-a-break/) from their intense touring schedule. Lauv has been on a U.S. tour this fall, with an upcoming debut album titled _How I’m Feeling_. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5704898/bts-lauv-make-it-right/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5704898/bts-lauv-make-it-right/"},"headline":"BTS and Lauv's 'Make It Right' Is an Ode to the Fans and Yes There's an Animated Dragon Battle","datePublished":"2019-10-18T17:13:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:00:56.069Z","description":"Come for the remix, stay for the video","url":"https://time.com/5704898/bts-lauv-make-it-right/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5704898/bts-lauv-make-it-right/","name":"BTS and Lauv's 'Make It Right' Is an Ode to the Fans and Yes There's an Animated Dragon Battle"}}]}] ```
