BTS’ RM and Tablo just dropped a heartbreaker with their track “Stop The Rain.” The song, dropped on May 2, has the BTS ARMY in full emotional meltdown mode, as it dives deep into trauma and survival. But one line in particular hit hard: “I was convinced that I was destined for the 27 Club.” Oof! That lyric references the tragic club of iconic artists who died at 27—think Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, Brian Jones, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and more.

Tablo spilled in a Rolling Stone interview that RM’s lyric reflects how crushing the pressure of fame felt. RM, now 30, was 29 when he wrote the line, and the next one—“sinkin’ in a bathtub”—paints a raw picture of his mental state. Despite success, the weight of fame struggles became heavy.
“Stop The Rain” isn’t just another collab—it’s a song about vulnerability. RM blends past trauma with an outlook on the present, proving once again he’s more than a rapper—he’s a singer and a songwriter. And even though he’s serving in the military right now, this release reminds fans just how deeply he wants to connect.
