What if I could turn back time? “I would have taken a picture of it,” he said, sharing the story behind the song.
Lastly, regarding his thoughts on celebrating the 11th anniversary of his debut, he said, "The 11th anniversary has already arrived. Thank you for always being by my side, and I hope you always stay healthy and don't get sick. It's very hot in the summer, so please be careful of the heat. Bye." reported.

Below is the full text of Jungkook’s post:
ARMY, did you receive the song gift well? I hope you like it.
I worked on this song with you all in mind from the beginning, and you might wonder if the hook is repeated for a long time, but it's actually a song I wanted to show along with a house genre dance. It's a performance song. But I couldn't proceed because I didn't have time, it's a shame. If I could turn back time, I would have taken a picture somehow, so I am leaving this post in hopes that you can understand that part.
Anyway, the 11th anniversary has already arrived. Thank you for always being by my side, and I hope you always stay healthy and never get sick.
It's also very hot in summer, so be careful of the heat! Well then, bye.
