j-hope returns with Sweet Dreams featuring Miguel, announces solo album and world tour

BTS’s j-hope made his solo comeback with Sweet Dreams, a digital single featuring American singer-songwriter Miguel. The track, along with its official music video, was released on March 7, 2025, at 2 pm KST. This marks his first solo project since completing his military service in October 2024. He also released his last album HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1 in March 2024.

Sweet Dreams was first introduced during his HOPE ON THE STAGE world tour in Seoul on February 28. While unveiling the song at the concert, j-hope shared his inspiration behind it, 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."

BigHit Music described the song as an R&B-pop track that expresses the longing to love without fear and to receive love in return. The track was produced by Johnny Goldstein, with songwriting contributions from Sam Martin and Sean Douglas.

Miguel also makes a brief appearance in the music video. The collaborative duo are set to perform Sweet Dreams live for the first time on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on March 11.

Beyond new music, j-hope is currently on his HOPE ON THE STAGE world tour. The Seoul leg took place from February 28 to March 2 at KSPO Dome.

The tour continues in North America from March 13 to April 6, 2025. This includes stops at Barclays Center in New York, Allstate Arena in Chicago, and BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. From April 12, he will perform across Southeast Asia, visiting Manila, Jakarta, Bangkok, Singapore, Macau, and Taipei, before wrapping up the tour in Osaka, Japan, on June 1, 2025.
