Jin Has A Solo Song On BTS' New Album That's All About His Love For ARMY
BTS hasn't released an album with solo songs since they dropped Love Yourself: Answer in August 2018. That all changed with the release of Map of the Soul: 7 on Feb. 21, 2020. The album includes songs showcasing each BTS member, including Jin with his solo track "Moon." The english translation of BTS' "Moon" lyrics shows the song is all about Jin's love for his fans.
Ever since BTS shared their tracklist on Feb. 16, fans have been wondering whether MOTS: 7 would include solo songs. The tracklist teased 20 songs, so fans felt there was a strong chance seven of them were reserved for solo tracks, especially since the previously-released "Intro: Persona" starred RM, while "Interlude: Shadow" and "Outro: Ego" starred Suga and J-Hope, respectively.
Fans finally got their answer a day ahead of the release of MOTS: 7. On Feb. 20, Big Hit Entertainment revealed not only will BTS' new album include solo songs, but it will also include sub-unit tracks.
Fans were surprised to hear Jin would be behind "Moon," since they initially believed the song would be a collaboration between RM and Jimin. According to the BTS ARMY, in Bon Voyage Season 4, the pair hung out together at night and they were so inspired by the beautiful view of the moon they began creating a poem. Fans found it suspicious, and thought Jimin and RM were teasing a collaboration.
It seems Jimin and RM were just playing around, because "Moon" has Jin singing alone. The song highlights Jin's sweet and flawless vocals, and, to make it more special, "Moon" is dedicated to the BTS ARMY.
Check out the English translation of "Moon" below.
Verse 1
How long has the moon
And earth been together like this?
Can I be by your side, shining with existence?
Verse 2
You are my planet
I'm just a moon to you
Your little star that lights up your heart
You are my Earth
And all I see is you
Just staring at you like this way
Pre-Chorus
Everyone says I'm beautiful
But my sea is black
You're the one with the flowers blooming
And the sky is blue
Chorus
Suddenly I wonder
If you're looking at me right now? (Oh)
Won't you find out all my pain? (Oh)
I'll be around you
I'll be there for you
I'll be your light
All for you
Verse 3
I didn't even have a name
You loved me until I met you
And now you're my reason
Verse 4
You are my planet
I'm just a moon to you
Your little star that lights up your heart
You are my Earth
And all I see is you
Just staring at you like this way
Pre-Chorus
In the crescent moon night
Even if I close my eyes
You come to me blue
In the full moon night
Do you mind if I open my eyes
And hold you?
Chorus
Suddenly I wonder
If you're looking at me right now? (Oh)
Won't you find out all my pain? (Oh)
I'll be around you
I'll be there for you
I'll be your light
All for you
Bridge
You who stand by me
In the dark night and in the dark day
When you are sad
When you are sick
Just shining on me
I will be by your side
More brightly in the dark night
Chorus
Suddenly I wonder
If you're looking at me right now? (Oh)
Won't you find out all my pain? (Oh)
I'll be around you
I'll be there for you
I'll be your light
All for you
I don't know about you, but this solo song is one of my favorites off the new album.
