'134340' takes its title from the asteroid designation given to Pluto after its reclassification, the number standing in for a name the planet lost. BTS use the demotion as a metaphor for a relationship in which the narrator has been erased, still orbiting a former centre of gravity that no longer acknowledges the bond. The lyrics describe a heart stopped at minus 248 degrees, a temperature that mirrors Pluto's distant cold, and the song moves between resignation and the faint hope of being remembered.
The track appears as the fourth song on 'Love Yourself 轉 'Tear'', an album that elsewhere addresses the possibility of the group's disbandment and the desire to offer hope through performance. Here the mood is more personal, the production measured, the metaphor sustained across verses that compare the narrator's orbit to that of a declassified celestial body, present but unnamed.
