It was released as the leading track of Jimin's debut studio album, FACE, on March 24, 2023. It is a synth-pop track produced by the Ghstloop and Pdogg. The song has two versions, Korean and English.
The former version delves into the feeling of losing a significant other and striving in a reality where they still exist, while the latter talks about losing oneself under the burden of fame.

He began his mandatory military service on December 12, 2023, alongside Jungkook. The duo joined the duty as companion soldiers through a buddy system. After concluding his five weeks of basic training, he was deployed to the Fifth Infantry Division. He was reportedly promoted to the Private First Class.
