The song is featured in his debut solo album Happy
Jin of BTS has released “I’ll Be There,” a pre-release track from his first solo album Happy, along with an accompanying music video.
“I’ll Be There” is rooted in rockabilly, a genre that blends elements of rock and roll with country music. The catchy hook is easy to hum, set against a fast-tempo rhythm—a defining feature of the genre. The track conveys a sincere message, aiming to uplift those who feel downhearted and alone by delivering joy through Jin’s playful yet straightforward style. Jin participated in the track’s production alongside American singer-songwriter Max, achieving another level of artistic growth.
The music video opens with Jin singing with a band under a bridge against a clear sky. Clad in a casual cardigan, plaid shirt, and jeans with face piercings, Jin captivates viewers by evoking the image of a beloved rock star. A diverse crowd of all ages gather around to sing and dance, swept up by the infectious sound amidst the falling confetti. The contagious, high-spirited energy is amplified as the music video ends with Jin playing air guitar, dancing, and running around the vast, sunlit street by himself in a moment of sheer joy.
Happy features six tracks and explores Jin’s journey to discover true happiness. Throughout the album, Jin candidly and wholeheartedly shares a range of emotions, such as love, excitement, and courage—essential ingredients to reaching true happiness.
Jin’s “I’ll Be There” is now available on all streaming platforms worldwide. The multifaceted global superstar’s new album arrives on November 15th via BigHit Music.
