The project featured single 'Running Wild,' which marked Jin's second Billboard Hot 100 entry separate from his mega-famous boy band, following 2022's 'The Astronaut'; the two tracks reached Nos. 53 and 51 on the chart, respectively. 'Built on dynamic band sounds, the album showcases his versatile vocals across a spectrum of moods and styles,' the description continued at the time.
