This new genre signifies a shift from Jin’s prior solo projects, such as “The Astronaut”and “Epiphany.”Fans have responded with enthusiasm, embracing this fresh sound from the five-time Grammy-nominated artist.
The song’s Korean lyrics highlight Jin’s commitment to his fans with affirmations such as,
“I swear that I will always sing for you, sing for you/ I’ll be there for you.”
The bridge resonates deeply, as Jin reassures his fans, singing (in Korean) that he will always stand by them during tough times:
“When you feel down, when you feel all alone, when you need someone to lean on, I’ll be there for you.”
While “The Astronaut”is a heartfelt tribute to his fans, whom he refers to as his “universe,” “I’ll Be There”deepens that connection, reaffirming his loyalty. In an exclusive statement to Vogue, shared on October 25, 2024, Jin expressed his excitement about the release of his new single:
“I’m excited to be back and I hope my fans love this song as much as I do.”
The accompanying music video features Jin performing with his band in an outdoor busking setting, showcasing the BTS star in a new light. His outfit exudes a rockstar vibe, consisting of an oversized t-shirt layered with a flannel shirt and a denim jacket, completed with loose-fitting jeans. The energetic genre of the song complements the visuals perfectly.
