"SWIM" lyrics

"SWIM"

Swim, swim
Water falling off your skin
Swim, swim
I could spend a lifetime watching you
Swim, swim
This is how it all begins
Swim, swim
I just wanna dive, I just wanna dive

Bad world, gone away and I still wake up in this mad world
Name a place that I could breathe on this map, world
Lookin' like a goody, goody in this bad world, bad world
Don't know how to act, girl
I'm in the deep, tell me where the hell you at, girl?
Oh, you ain't even gotta love me bad, girl
You know that I'm never holdin' back, girl
Yeah

So easy, don't make it so hard
Nights like these, I just wanna get lost
Right here with the moon and the sharks
I ain't gotta think 'bout a thing, baby, I just

Swim, swim
Water falling off your skin
Swim, swim
I could spend a lifetime watching you
Swim (Swim), swim (Swim)
This is how it all begins
Swim, swim
I just wanna dive, I just wanna dive

Water, water so deep, water so deep
Take it off the ground, I ain't never gettin' cold feet
Yeah, you know me, yeah, you know me
Sittin' on the shore, now I'm ready for the whole sea
I can feel the high waves comin' (Yeah)
Why you run away? You can run in (Yeah)
Salt on my tongue, she's stunnin' (Oh)
You're the only place that I wanna be, yeah

Swim, swim
Water falling off your skin
Swim, swim
I could spend a lifetime watching you
Swim (Swim), swim (Swim)
This is how it all begins
Swim, swim
I just wanna dive, I just wanna dive

Splash (Splash), drift (Drift)
I make waves with my two fins (Two fins)
Splash (Woo), drip (Drip)
I just wanna take it across the line
Under here, we don't chase the time
Baby, everything can't be so sad (So sad)
Turn my face from the land
I just wanna dive, I just wanna dive

Swim, swim
Water falling off your skin
Swim, swim
I could spend a lifetime watching you
Swim (Swim), swim (Swim)
Let it all begin
Swim, swim
I just wanna dive, I just wanna dive

"SWIM" is the title track from BTS' fifth studio album, "Arirang". The song was premiered on March 20, 2026, accompanied by the music video where actress Lili Reinhart plays the female part.
The group's leader, RM, shared the following about "SWIM", "Because it's the title track, we held onto it the longest and thought hard. We tried all month to make a song that could surpass 'SWIM', but it wasn't easy. When I first heard it, it felt like Pyongyang naengmyeon—plain and subtly warm in its charm. The more I listened, the more I felt, 'I want to swim together.'"
