"'Make It Right'" is a song by South Korean boy band BTS. It was released digitally on April 12, 2019, as part of the extended play 'Map of the Soul: Persona'. It was remixed and re-released, featuring Lauv, as the second single from the EP on October 18, 2019.
Background and release
The song was first teased by Suga on Twitter, showing an image of a track and tagging Ed Sheeran with "This is for you." On April 11, a day before release, it was announced as the song Suga had teased in prior months. The title of the song appeared to recount Jin's monologue in the 2017 Love Yourself Highlight Reel during the band's Love Yourself era.
The album version of the song was released digitally on April 12, 2019. The remixed version was teased on the group's and Lauv's social media platforms and officially released on October 18, 2019.
Promotion
The song was promoted on 'M Countdown' April 19, 2019. BTS also performed the original version of the song 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' in May 2019. Additionally, BTS performed the song on iHeart Radio Jingle Ball and in New York City's Times Square on 'Dick Clarks New Years Rockin Eve With Ryan Seacrest'.
Composition and lyrics
"Make It Right" has been described as a falsetto-vocal heavy contemporary R&B track that is, "sung with a breathy, close-miked intensity that gives the curious illusion of intimacy." It uses a looped horn throughout the song, with 'Rolling Stone' comparing it to Amerie's "1 Thing" or Mario's "Let Me Love You" echoing sounds from the 2000s. It is backed with synthesizers, and the lyrics talk about the wish to make the world better and improve relationships. It also speaks about their biggest accomplishments and that without their fans it would feel empty. 'Newsweek' said although the topic of the song can be heavy, the instrumental is light. In the remixed version, Lauv replaces the Korean-language first verse with his own lyrics.
The remix version of the song is in the key of G major with 98 beats per minute while the original is G major with 106 beats per minute.
Reception
'The New York Times' said about the track: "It has some of Ed Sheeran's signature soft-soul gestures, but BTS renders [it] with complexity," while Jae-ha Kim from the 'Chicago Tribune' called it "hopeful and optimistic".
