"Boy with Luv" (Korean: 작은 것들을 위한 시; RR: Jag-eun geosdeul-eul wihan si, lit. "A Poem for Small Things"[7]) is a song recorded by South Korean boy band BTS, featuring American singer Halsey, as the lead single for their sixth extended play Map of the Soul: Persona.

The song was certified Platinum by the RIAA in June.
