Intro: Serendipity (세렌디피티) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jimin]
이 모든 건 우연이 아냐
그냥 그냥 나의 느낌으로
온 세상이 어제완 달라
그냥 그냥 너의 기쁨으로
니가 날 불렀을 때
나는 너의 꽃으로
기다렸던 것처럼
우린 시리도록 피어
어쩌면 우주의 섭리
그냥 그랬던 거야
You know, I know
너는 나, 나는 너
[Chorus: Jimin]
설레는 만큼 많이 두려워
운명이 우릴 자꾸 질투해서
너만큼 나도 많이 무서워
When you see me, when you touch me
우주가 우릴 위해 움직였어
조금의 어긋남조차 없었어
너와 내 행복은 예정됐던 걸
'Cause you love me and I love you
넌 내 푸른 곰팡이
날 구원해 준
나의 천사 나의 세상
난 네 삼색 고양이
널 만나러 온
Love me now, touch me now
[Refrain: Jimin]
Just let me love you (Let me, love, let me love you)
Just let me love you (Let me, love, let me love you)
우주가 처음 생겨났을 때부터
모든 건 정해진 거였어
Just let me love you (Let me, love, let me love you)
[Outro: Jimin]
Let me love, let me love you (Mmm)
Let me love, let me love you
About
“Intro: Serendipity” serves as the Intro song for the first installment of the Love Yourself Trilogy, Love Yourself 承 ‘Her’. This was lead vocalist Jimin’s solo song, out of the other four solo intros performed by the vocal line, “Euphoria” by Jungkook, “Singularity” by V, and “Epiphany” by Jin. A full length version of Serendipity was released in the last installment of the trilogy, Love Yourself 結 ‘Answer’.
On September 5th 2017, BTS dropped a teaser of their newest single, “Serendipity.” The teaser, released through BigHit Entertainment channel, starred BTS member Jimin. This is the first intro song to be done by a vocalist.
The song title is a word coined by Horace Walpole in 1754. Scientifically, “Serendipity” is a reference to a type of discovery that is by chance and wisdom: something unexpected is observed, and the observer is wise to perceive its potential value. An example of serendipitous discovery is Alexander Fleming’s accidental discovery of Penicillin which Jimin utilizes as a metaphor in this song.

Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
I think this was the first time I really tried to highlight all the nuances of my voice and focus on each detail of my vocal expression. So it was very difficult to try to make sure that translated into the recording. And I just remember the recording process being very difficult because of how hard I tried to make sure that I focused on all of these details, making sure that they are expressed in the song.

During an interview with Billboard RM answered the following questions about this song:
Q: Let’s start right from the beginning with “Serendipity.” Why was this the right song to choose as the intro and kick off the era?
When I wrote the lyrics, melodies and the first themes of “Serendipity,” I tried to come up with some rare things you find in life, something very special, like the calico, three-striped cat; things that have extraordinary meanings in people’s lives. I wanted to share this moment.
Q: I was reading the lyrics are gender neutral, which I think is really powerful. Was that a conscious decision?
The lyrics were based on rare and special things in life. So, I thought, those feelings transcend genders, cultures and barriers between people.
We always put out the “Intro” just before releasing our single, so the intro is taking the role of telling the concept of this album. But “Serendipity” was actually the right song to share the feelings of our single, “DNA.” The title is about how our DNA is connected in the universe, I think that was the right feel for this album.
