Continuing to evolve, the new single finds V singing entirely in English – while the vivid pink of the artwork points to the song’s bubbly atmosphere.
The news immediately caused a commotion with fans, and V will unveil a diverse array of contents including concept photos and teaser videos in the coming days.
Clash writer Abbie Aitken praised V’s ‘Layover’ album, writing in her review:
The influence of jazz and R&B is evident and the execution is slick. Although it has been a joy to hear and see V perform alongside BTS, it must give fans even more happiness to see V finally explore his own sense of self and produce a high quality album that suits not only his aesthetic but his overall musicality.
