With BIGBANG, Taeyang last year released the group's comeback single "Still Life" which was their first new music in four years after their mandatory military enlistment, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the departure of Seungri from the group.
Meanwhile, this marks another collaboration for Jimin having just worked on "With You" with Ha Sung Woon for the soundtrack of Korean drama "Our Blues," so a solo venture may be on the horizon.
Jimin's bandmates J-Hope, RM and Jin have all released solo projects since BTS they were taking a break from group activities, with Jin also enlisting for the aforementioned mandatory military service and the rest of BTS expected to follow suit.
