BTS's Jimin Reveals Tracklist For Seven-Song Solo Album 'MUSE'

On Thursday (June 20), BTS's Jimin revealed the full tracklist for his upcoming second solo album, MUSE. The seven-song LP due for release on July 19 will feature the intro track “Rebirth,” as well as “Interlude : Showtime,” the pre-release track “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band” (featuring Loco), “Slow Dance ” (featuring Sofia Carson), as well as “Be Mine,” “Who,” and “Closer Than This” (which was released in December.)

Jimin, 28, helped write six of the songs according to a release, which also noted that the announcement from BIGHIT Music featured a vintage feel through images of old tapes representing each song, with an overall theme of “love » that connects all the tracks.

The hip-hop/R&B-focused track 'Who' was produced by Grammy-nominated singer/producer Jon Bellion, alongside Pete Nappi, Tenroc, Pdgogg and GHSTLOOP, with a vibe described as “a heavy bounce and guitar sound . ” Furthermore, the pre-release song “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band” draws inspiration from marching bands, “combining elements of hip-hop with the big band sound characterized by a large-scale orchestra, creating an upbeat, lively rhythm and dynamic atmosphere thanks to an assist from South Korean rapper Loco.”

Other contributors to the album include Tommy Brown (Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber), as well as producers Pdogg, GHSTLOOP and EVAN, who also worked on Jimin's first solo album, 2023 FACE, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. Jimin's official solo debut came with the 2018 single “Promise.” Five years later, he became the first South Korean soloist to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Like Crazy,” followed by FACE'Set Me Free, Pt. 2” reaching No. 30 on the chart.

Jimin is still in the middle of his 18-month mandatory military service in South Korea, which he began in December. Jin became the first member of BTS to end his service.
