No, dear j-hope enthusiasts, your hearts do not deceive you – the BTS sensation is indeed embarking on a fresh solo venture. On Wednesday, February 26th, j-hope excitedly unveiled his upcoming single, "Sweet Dreams," a collaborative effort with the talented Miguel. Scheduled for release on March 7th, this duet promises a harmonious fusion of voices over an enchanting R&B-pop melody, celebrating the "yearning to give and receive love," as revealed in the official press statement. This union marks a historic first collaboration between the two stars.
The picturesque cover art, shared by j-hope on the same day, captures the South Korean artist lounging in a sleek blue convertible, as if magically gliding through ethereal clouds in the sky. The title "Sweet Dreams" stands out prominently, adorned in soft, pastel yellow lettering, adding a whimsical touch to the artwork.
"Sweet Dreams" signifies j-hope's long-awaited return to the solo scene, following his special album HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 in March of last year, marking his highest solo chart position to date. The album was accompanied by a documentary series of the same name, chronicling j-hope's journey to New York, Paris, Osaka, Seoul, and his hometown of Gwangju in South Korea, where he explored his deep-rooted passion for dance across six episodes on Prime Video.
Now, j-hope prepares to embark on another adventure, this time with a 31-date tour titled HOPE ON THE STAGE, kicking off just a week before "Sweet Dreams" drops. The tour commences with a three-night residency at Seoul's KSPO DOME, starting Friday, February 28th. Excluding his guest appearance on Don Toliver's "LV Bag" alongside Pharrell Williams in February, "Sweet Dreams" also marks j-hope's first official solo release since completing his mandatory military service in South Korea. Over the past two years, all seven BTS members have fulfilled their compulsory service, putting the group's activities on hold until this year. Jin was the first to conclude his duties in June, with j-hope following suit in October.
