BTS‘ j-hope previewed his upcoming solo single on Friday, giving ARMY a nine-second taste of the thumping tune. With a buzzy, glitched-out beat and woozy bass line, the first taste of the tune lacked audible vocals, though there did appear to be some chopped-up voices buried in the mix.
A first taste on X featured a montage of images of the singer in stylish outfits flipping by in a series of fashion shoot-like shots. In an announcement on Weverse, BIGHIT Music described the track as, “a hip-hop and R&B track that celebrates a captivating person by playfully comparing them to the iconic masterpiece ‘Mona Lisa,’ which has charmed the world for centuries. Through this song, j-hope conveys that true allure lies not in one’s external beauty but in the unique qualities that make the person special.”
The new single is due out on Friday (March 21) and it comes on the heels of last week’s late night TV debut of hope’s recent single “Sweet Dreams” with Miguel.
The digital single is further described as a “heartfelt surprise gift” from J-hope to his fans in appreciation of their “unwavering love and support.” All he asks in return for his gratitude is for ARMY to kindly offer up their “enthusiastic support and interest in j-hope’s future endeavors.”
Hobi rolled out the debut live performance of “Mona Lisa” during his debut U.S. solo concert at the Barclays Center in New York last Thursday during the first date on his Hope on the stage tour. “Love the way you take the stress and Louis off of me,” he sang on the sultry track while pulling off some hip-swiveling, sultry dance moves and bragging, “I like my girls pretty, so fine/ One plus the nine/ How you get me goin’/ Might just blow it.”
