Back in June of 2022 when Grammy-nominated group BTS announced a temporary break from group activities, BTS promised solo albums from the members. And with two of the members already releasing their albums – J-hope and RM – up next is Jimin.
The news of his first solo album, titled Face, broke on February 21, 2023. Just a few short days later on February 23rd the track list for Face was released.
The graphic revealing the track list to Face may have provided more information about the album. It states:
“Circle of Resonance
Reflection of vulnerable minds and unexposed wounds.
Face, the reflection of myself in an unfamiliar appearance Face of facing the deepest part of inner-self.”
According to Big Hit Music, “Face delves into Jimin’s story of fronting his true self and making a new leap forward as an artist. Through Face, Jimin will present his own musicality with distinct timbre and impeccable dance performance.”
Big Hit Music posted via social media a schedule of what fans can expect leading up to the release of Face, which includes concept photos and a pre-release track releasing at midnight ET on March 17. The pre-release track, “Set Me Free Pt.2,” will be paired with a music video. The track is described as Jimin singing about his resolution to free himself from various emotions hidden deep inside him.
The main track, “Like Crazy,” will be released in an English version on the day the album drops, March 24, 2023, and will be accompanied by a music video. “Like Crazy” was written by Jimin, Pdogg, GHSTLOOP, EVAN, and fellow BTS member RM.
Face will have six tracks in total, including “Set Me Free PT. 2” and “Like Crazy.”
The album is expected to exhibit Jimin’s own musical interests and style as he participated in the songwriting.
Along with the track list, Jimin released a short video showing the creative process of his solo album. The video shows Jimin concentrating on recording his album with an abundance of enthusiasm.
Coinciding with the album’s release, Jimin will meet fans – known as ARMYs – through various activities, including a video call to fans from Jimin that 70 lucky fans can win. Another 150 fans can win a signed poster from Jimin. In both cases, winners are selected through raffles after purchasing an album on Weverse Global.
