On July 3, 2024, BTS phenomenon Park Jimin, released the behind-the-scenes YouTube video of his single, Smeraldo Garden Marching Band, on BANGTANTV. The musician dropped the single on June 28, which fronts his upcoming second solo album, MUSE, set to be released on July 19.
In the latest video, the Alone singer-songwriter shared the story behind creating and producing the song. He recalled having the best time of his life in America, which was an inspiration for the song.
It was the first track that marked the preparation for MUSE, and Jimin revealed his desire to capture his happy moments in the song. He said:
"Smeraldo Garden Marching Band is actually the first song we worked on. It came together effortlessly while I had the time of my life in America. We started (the song) because we wanted to capture the happy feeling after we finished the 'FACE' album. It's the song I liked the most and this is exactly how I wanted you to see it."
