BTS fans may still be processing bittersweet feelings about their fave group taking a temporary break as members begin to enter into their compulsory periods of enlistment in the Korean military. But a bright spot is that they’ve finally gotten the opportunity to throw themselves into solo work like never before. After all of BTS’s 2022 solo releases — J-Hope’s “Jack in the Box” in July, Jin’s “The Astronaut” in October, Jungkook’s “Dreamers” in November, and RM’s “Indigo” in December — January 2023 will seemingly be all about Jimin!
On Jan. 4, Big Hit announced that Jimin’s first solo effort is a song with Taeyang called “Vibe.” Taeyang is a member of the mega second-generation K-pop group Big Bang, and “Vibe” will serve as the lead single on his highly anticipated upcoming solo album. Taeyang shared a teaser poster for the track on Jan. 9, which revealed that Jimin helped him compose “Vibe.” And on Jan. 11, the first snippet of the “Vibe” music video arrived, teasing a super-sexy visual to accompany the track.
“Vibe” released on Jan. 13. It’s a sexy R&B track infused with touches of new jack swing. Of course, there was a steamy music video to accompany the song, which is all about two people having indescribable chemistry, which Taeyang and Jimin certainly have when it comes to choreography! Besides their heavenly vocals, the boys showed off their epic dance skills throughout the three-minute video.
There’s still no word on when Jimin will release the solo album he’s been working so diligently on, but a collab with one of K-pop’s greatest is definitely the next best thing. Check out the “Vibe” music video below and keep scrolling to read the lyrics in English (via YouTube).

Taeyang and Jimin’s “Vibe” Lyrics in English
INTRO (Taeyang)
I can’t express it in words
Girl, You gotta know you got that vibe
Your smile is Fine Art
You wake up my soul
You got me feelin’ so right yeah
It’s a vibe
Yeah eh
VERSE 1 (Taeyang)
This gon’ be the one and only theme song
You’ve got all of my attention
You’re my one and only mission
Nothing is impossible Baby lights camera action
I’m the music, you’re my Topline
You’re the city, I’m the Skyline
I’m the movie, you’re the Highlight
Falling on a dark sky like Twilight
PRE-CHORUS (Taeyang)
Just gets better
Got me binge-watching you with that attraction
You don’t know I want your love (know I want your love)
Before this night ends Baby
CHORUS (Taeyang)
You know we got that vibe baby (till the sun rises)
Look at me, look at me, I got the vibe
Look at me, look at me, I got the vibe
You know we got that vibe baby (till the sun sets)
Look at you, look at you, you got the vibe
I can feel it, It’s a vibe
VERSE 2 (Jimin)
This gon’ be the one and only Anthem
Can feel my sixth sense, it’s a stimulation
Holding hands causing an electrocution
Before you my world was in disconnection
I’m the stage, you’re the Spotlight
You’re the Han River, I’m the Nam San
It can’t be more perfect than this
Falling on a dark sky like Twilight
PRE-CHORUS (Jimin)
I could feel it
I’m trapped inside your space, You’re my Matrix
You don’t know I want your love (know I want your love)
Before this night ends Baby
CHORUS (Jimin)
You know we got that vibe baby (till the sun rises)
Look at me, look at me, I got the vibe
Look at me, look at me, I got the vibe
You know we got that vibe baby (till the sun sets)
Look at you, look at you, you got the vibe
I can feel it, It’s a vibe
Bridge (Jimin)
Look at the stars
Moon’s shining so bright
All through the night
It’s lighting us up
(Taeyang)
And the way you look at me
I want to keep feelin’ the vibrations
(You gotta know you got that vibe)
CHORUS (Taeyang & Jimin)
You know we got that vibe baby (till the sun rises)
Look at me, look at me, I got the vibe
You know we got that vibe baby (till the sun sets)
Look at you, look at you, you got the vibe
I can feel it, It’s a vibe
