[The Fact | Reporter Kim Myung-joo] BTS’s J-Hope shared his feelings about returning with a sweet love song.
BigHit Music said, “J-Hope will release the digital single ‘Sweet Dreams’ (feat. Miguel) along with the music video at 2 p.m. (KST) on March 7.”
‘Sweet Dreams’ is a heartfelt serenade about the feelings of love and the desire to be loved. J-Hope compares the vibrations of love to a sweet dream and expresses it through music.
The song belongs to the R&B pop genre with a blend of dreamy synthesizers, clear guitar sounds and gentle but warm vocals, conveying the emotions of love through hearing. In particular, Miguel - an R&B singer who won the 'Best R&B Song' award at the Grammy - joins in singing, further increasing the appeal of the song.
After being discharged from the army in October last year, J-Hope returned with the single 'Sweet Dreams', attracting expectations from fans. The song and MV will be released at 2pm on the 7th. Before that, from 1pm on the same day, he will hold a fan meeting event 'Sweet Dreamland' to share this special moment. On the occasion of BTS's debut anniversary (June 13), 613 fans will be invited to participate directly. At the same time, the event was also broadcast exclusively on Weverse for those who couldn't attend.
Q&A with J-Hope about 'Sweet Dreams'
- How do you feel about your first comeback after being discharged from the military?I'm very excited to be able to bring new music after a long time. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time and wanted to quickly share it with my fans. I'm also a little nervous, but I believe this is a product worth waiting for. I hope everyone will like it.
- What was your first impression when you heard this song?I was sure when I first heard it: "This song is for J-Hope." Usually, when I listen to a good song, I can imagine many different images, but with this song, everything appeared clearly. I believe in my decision and hope it will be right.
- Was there anything special in the process of producing the song? This time, I tried a song camp for the first time. This method really suits me and helps me work more effectively. During my time in Los Angeles, I composed a lot of good songs and wanted to quickly introduce them to my fans.
- What do you want people to pay attention to the most? I care not only about the final result but also about the process. The song camp in Los Angeles is part of this journey. The upcoming promotional activities are also a learning experience for me. If the audience can feel that effort, I will be very happy.
- Do you remember any special memories with Miguel when collaborating? I was the one who took the initiative to invite Miguel to contribute vocals, even though we had not known each other before. He accepted the offer with goodwill, which made me very grateful. I have listened to Miguel's music since I was a child, so collaborating with him was really a great joy.
- The event in Paris in January attracted a lot of attention. Do you have any special memories there? Please share them with your fans. I felt the great energy from the fans in Paris and I wish I had the opportunity to come back and deliver even better performances. What touched me the most was that even though the venue was crowded, through my in-ears, I could only hear ARMY's voice. That is the power of BTS. ARMY is the best!
- A message to the fans who have been waiting for you all this time?
You have waited for a long time. Finally, ‘Sweet Dreams’ – a song that you can enjoy anytime, anywhere – has been released. I put all my heart into this song and I want to send it to many people. Thank you for always being sweet dreams in my life, my dear ARMY. The first half of this year will be very exciting! I will take on all styles – cute, funky, sexy – and deliver amazing performances. Please look forward to it!
