Seven featuring Latto receives kid friendly makeover
The online revelation of Kidz Bop covering BTS' Jungkook's debut solo single Seven (feat. Latto) on January 22, 2024, took the fandom by surprise. Netizens expressed astonishment, considering the "NSFW" content of the original song, as the children's version appeared on Kidz Bop's latest album for 2024. It's not surprising that notable differences exist between the Kidz Bop rendition and the original track.
Right from the start of the song, the lyrics underwent a change to, "Weight of the world on your shoulders, you see my face and ease your mind.” The original lyrics of the sonv were "Weight of the world on your shoulders, I kiss your waist and ease your mind." 
Certainly, a few tweaks to the lyrics have made a big impact on the song's meaning. For instance, the updated lyrics now go like this: "It’s the way we sing the ride, it’s the way we sing the ride. Think I met you in another life, so dance with me another time.”
Likewise, the entire song underwent alterations to align with the children's theme for Kidz Bop's rendition of Jungkook's Seven (feat. Latto). For Latto's rap, significant changes were made:
"Now we’re in control, dance and shake a soul. Take your phone and put it in the camera roll.Leave your mood at the door. Watcha waiting for, come and hit your goals. We jump in at both feet. Dancing till the sunrise, we ain’t getting no sleep.” And so on.
Upon the song's release, ARMYs had varied reactions. Some found it amusing that a song originally about more mature themes was adapted for children, while others appreciated the incorporation of days of the week, making it suitable for educational purposes. The shift in tone may not have the same impact, but it resonates logically with the children's adaptation.
