The definition of serendipity is “something that happens by chance happily or beneficially.” “Serendipity” is a song about being madly in love but also feeling anxious about these intense feelings. The lyrics are all about destiny, about how this love was made from the moment the universe was created.
From the time the universe was created, everything was destined [to be]. Just let me love you.
—Jimin from “Serendipity”
However, the lyrics also tell about a story of chance (serendipity), that this love has been made real because of a combination of destiny and chance occurrences.
Regardless of how one interprets the song’s lyrics, there’s no doubt that “Serendipity”‘s remarkable achievements are written in the stars.
