j-hope drops Sweet Dreams with Miguel, kicks off world tour
BTS’s j-hope is back with Sweet Dreams, a digital single featuring American singer-songwriter Miguel. This marks his first solo project since completing military service in October 2024 and his last album, HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1, released the same year.
The song was first introduced during his HOPE ON THE STAGE world tour in Seoul on February 28. While performing it for the first time, the rapper shared his inspiration, saying,
"Love is such a simple emotion in this world. I think it’s an emotion that you need at this moment. So that’s why… A love song by j-hope, what would that be like? I was always wondering about this topic. So I produced a song with ‘love’ as the theme. That’s how “Sweet Dreams” was born."
Described by BigHit Music as an R&B-pop track, the song was crafted with producer Johnny Goldstein and songwriters Sam Martin and Sean Douglas. Miguel also makes a special appearance in the music video.
Dominating the charts, Sweet Dreams secured the No. 1 position on both the Worldwide and European iTunes Song Charts. Within just 24 hours, j-hope set another record, becoming the first rapper this year to reach No. 1 on iTunes in 70 countries, with the count now at 79 and rising.
Beyond new music, the BTS member has officially returned to the stage. HOPE ON THE STAGE kicked off with a three-night residency at Seoul’s KSPO Dome from February 28 to March 2.
The tour will take him across North America, with stops at Barclays Center in New York, Allstate Arena in Chicago, and BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. He will then visit Southeast Asia, performing in Manila, Jakarta, Bangkok, Singapore, Macau, and Taipei, before wrapping up in Osaka, Japan, on June 1.
The rapper is also set to release his new solo album, Beginning of a New Dream, later this March. Additionally, he has announced a new single, MONA LISA, set for release on March 21.
