I thought the phrase “Love Yourself” would mean [something] extra special to people who are harsh on themselves, like me for instance. Although it is hard, I think it is important to know how to truly love yourself. During the recording and making of the album, I wondered if there had been anything that I truly loved with all my heart. When you’re listening to our album, I hope that people would embrace themselves just like the phrase “Love Yourself”. Also, I hope that you would listen to it with an open mind.
