“Suga has a message in this album to focus on ‘me’ and ‘now’ in an era where too fast and vast information is overflowing,” Big Hit Music explained.

Suga wrote and composed all the songs in the album as well as produced them.

Starting with Belmont Park in the US on April 26, he will hold a solo world tour to Indonesia, Japan, Thailand and Singapore.
