Christmas Love
On Christmas Eve 2020, Jimin released “Christmas Love”. The track was released with an attached letter written by the idol himself, where he revealed the reason why he decided to voice the song, read the full translation:
Hello. ARMYS.
It’s Jimin.
Did you receive my Christmas present well? I really wanted to let you all hear it, and I’m so happy I was able to do that.
The reason I came in today like this is because I wanted to tell you a little bit about why I’m suddenly sharing an upbeat song like this during a difficult time.
You’ll know when you look at the context of the song, but I wanted to sing with the emotions of one of my favorite childhood memories — when I saw snow falling for the first time.
As we grow up, I think we really miss our younger days. Whether or not this is the current situation, we think a lot about our immature, innocent selves and how we want to go back to that time. We begin to become responsible for something as we grow up, and this responsibility matures our innocent self.
It made me wonder if this makes us hide our emotions a little. However, I think we still have these emotions. Although it’s a little cheesy, how about we express that emotion once in a while? I thought it would be nice if that day were today.
You are all people who always deserve to be loved. So instead of the oft-used word ‘awkward’, I hope this can be a situation where we can have fun together, even if it’s a little embarrassing.
Although it is a song that is lacking in comparison to this rather extensive composition, I worked hard to make it with the hope that you all can be happy people. I hope you all can return to the reminiscent past, even if for a moment, while listening to the song.”
Listen to the track and read the full letter below:
