Background and composition

edit

Rumors about the single first began circulating at the end of 2022, when media outlets reported that Big Bang member Taeyang would be releasing a solo album in January 2023, with one of the songs likely to feature BTS member Jimin.[3] On January 4, 2023, the release of the collaboration was officially announced through social media.[4] This marked Taeyang's first release under YG Entertainment's subsidiary The Black Label, which he transferred to a week earlier.[5][6]

Accolades
