BTS‘ Jimin dropped a live video for a pair of songs from his MUSE solo album on Sunday (August 4), including a version of “Slow Dance” featuring a guest appearance from that track’s feature singer, Sofia Carson. In the first half of the six-plus minute clip, Jimin rides his falsetto to the top of a building, where he performs the midtempto MUSE track “Rebirth” with his live band with the city stretching out on the horizon behind them.
Wearing a black jacket with geometric patterns on the sleeves, Jimin croons the lyrics about being “special just for you” during the golden hour, with a slight orange haze hanging in the air. The scene then switches to night, as the “Slow Dance” title fills the screen in a string light font, announcing Carson’s arrival.
As the band leans into the song’s slinky groove and the city’s lights burn in the distance, Jimin croons the ballad and Carson slowly comes into view as she climbs onto the roof in black shorts, a matching jacket and tuxedo-style shirt. The two singers then face-off mid-screen and trade vocals as one of Jimin’s band members busts out a soprano sax solo and the two vocalists walk slow circles around each other.
“Thanks to the band for playing with us today,” Jimin says in Korean as the tune winds down, adding in English, “thanks for slow dancing with me Sofia.” The “Applause” singer responds, “I loved slow dancing with you, Jimin” as the pair take their bows and thank each other. The video ends with a pan to the sky and the message “Special thanks to Jimin’s muse, ARMY.”
Jimin dropped the seven-track MUSE last month, marking the K-pop star’s second solo album. The effort was preceded by the pre-release track “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band” (featuring Loco) and “Closer Than This,” which dropped in December.
