Songfacts®:

• "Love Me Again" is the lead single from V's debut solo EP Layover. The song is a guitar-driven R&B track that showcases the BTS member's soulful vocals. The lyrics find V longing for someone to take him back after a breakup.
• The dreamy track kicks off with V spilling his heart out. It's like he never got that closure memo from a past romance. Those memories? Yup, they're packed up and taken away, leaving him in a total whirlwind of emotions.
  
  But wait, the pre-chorus hits and V is ready to dive back into the feels, wondering if his ex is sailing on the same emotional ship.
  
  Then comes the chorus, which V croons in English:
  
  I wish you would love me again
  No, I don't want nobody else
  I wish you could love me again, again
  
  No one – seriously, NO ONE – even comes close to holding a candle to this ex.
  
  In the second verse, V gets super real, admitting he tried to act all chill when the ex made her grand exit. But those words were a total mirage - "all lies."
