'Begin'

'Begin' is Jungkook's first solo offering, as part of BTS' 2016 album, Wings. Written by RM, the track retells Jungkook's journey, from a young boy in Busan to a singer performing on a big stage. The track starts with him feeling lost and small as he arrives in Seoul but soon, he finds his footing with his BTS brothers, who has influenced him to go after his dreams. 


'Euphoria'

Undeniably one of Jungkook's most popular solo tracks, 'Euphoria' comes as part of BTS' 2018 record, Love Yourself: Answer and talks about an overwhelming feeling of happiness. It is also the song that features the iconic Jungkook fanchant


'My Time'

'My Time', from BTS' 2020 album, Map Of The Soul: 7, is one of Jungkook's first major forray into songwriting, as he delves deep to recount leaving home as a teenager to follow his dreams. Comparing his life to a fast-paced movie, you hear the singer question his choices and ponder about what he's missing out on if he chose another path. 


'Still With You'

In celebration of BTS' 7th anniversary, Jungkook dropped 'Still With You', a calming track to ease the hearts and souls of ARMY everywhere during turbulent times. Written by the singer himself alongside BIGHIT Music producer PDogg, the track is a reminder to fans that no matter what happens, BTS will always be with ARMY. 


'Left And Right'

Heard everywhere from your local retail stores to TikTok videos, 'Left And Right' is Jungkook's collaboration with American pop act Charlie Puth. It served as the singer's first project of BTS' "chapter 2", where each member focuses on their solo endeavours. The track, which was the perfect summer pop hit, charted on major music charts in Korea and the US. 


'My You'

Jungkook's 'My You' was one of BTS' gifts to ARMY for their 9th anniversary. Sincere and heartfelt, the song served as Jungkook's love letter to ARMY, thanking them for their unrelenting support throughout the years. 


'Stay Alive'

'Stay Alive' is the official soundtrack to HYBE's original story with BTS, 7 Fates: Chakho. Produced by SUGA and performed by Jungkook, the powerful track encapsulates the characters' fire to survive in their vicious world. The track was based entirely on the web story, which follows seven characters who live in an urban fantasy city on a mission to avenge their loved ones. 


'Dreamers'
