During the audio clip, V is singing in whispered and hushed tones as his voice drifts over a haunting piano melody. The audio is moody and intimate showing off a more vulnerable side of the global superstar’s personality.

The Tweet from the official BTS account does not reveal a name to the new track, it is simply captioned “sleep” alongside a “zzz” emoji.
V sings in both English and Korean on the new song.

A fan on Twitter translated the lyrics as I see the clouds outside are still walking in the sky/ And the ruffling of my bed covers/ Slowly, slowly fades away/ Slowly, slowly the night fades away."

In February, V shared a handful of details about his solo mixtape during his “BE-hind Story” where all seven members of BTS interviewed each other about recording their album, BE.

During this V tells us there will be 13 tracks on his highly anticipated solo project, which the ARMY has been referring to as KTH1 after his birth name, Kim Tae-hyung.

As of now, we await the announcement of a release date for KTH1.
