Background
The group held a press conference for the release of their album on the 10th of October 2016. Asked about their new concept and its meaning, leader RM explained, "The harder a temptation is to resist, the more you think about it and vacillate. That uncertainty is part of the process of growing. Blood Sweat & Tears is a song that shows how one thinks, chooses, and grows."
Music video
On October 6 of 2016, Big Hit released a teaser for the song. At 12:00 KST, October 10, 2016, the official music video was released. The six-minute video features RM reciting from a passage of Hermann Hesse’s Demian, which was an inspiration for the album Wings concept, and does not appear on the album version of the song. Billboard K-Town's Tamar Herman described the music video as "a haunting [one] that explores ideas of fate, reality, life and death, and falling from grace."
The video was directed by Choi Yongseok and Ko Yoojeong of Lumens. Additional production personnel included Nam Hyunwoo of GDW as director of photography, Kim Gyeungseok of Sunny as a gaffer, Lee Moonyoung of Myllab as an art director, and Shin Yunkyun of DnD line for special effects. The choreography was created by Keone Madrid & Quick Style Crew and supervised by Son Sungdeuk. Within 24 hours of the music video's release, it reached 6.3 million views, setting a new record. Also on October 13, it was reported that "Blood, Sweat & Tears" had become the fastest K-pop music video by a group to reach 10 million views. According to reports, this was achieved in less than 42 hours - almost half the amount of time taken for their previous record "Fire", which took 72 hours. On February 20, 2017, the music video became the third music video by BTS to pass the milestone of 100 million views on YouTube, at the time becoming the second-fastest music video by a K-pop group, passing the milestone in less than 134 days after its release. The music video became the third BTS music video to pass 200 million views on October 29, 2017.
