The Astronaut" is a song by South Korean singer Jin of BTS released on October 28, 2022, as his debut solo single. Co-written by Jin, British rock band Coldplay—who previously collaborated with BTS on "My Universe", Norwegian DJ Kygo who produced the track with Bill Rahko, and Chris Martin's son Moses Martin, the song is about Jin's affection for and relationship with his fans. It explores themes of connection and love through the use of a recurring cosmic motif favored by both the band and singer, as evidenced in other songs they have written.

Described as "a gift to fans", it was released ahead of Jin's enlistment, which is set to occur shortly afterwards. The single is available digitally and in CD format. An accompanying music video portrays the singer as an alien astronaut who accidentally crash-lands on Earth and must eventually choose between staying with his found-family or returning to his home planet.

Background and releaseEdit

On October 15, 2022, during BTS' Yet to Come in Busan free concert, Jin revealed that he would be the next band member after J-Hope, to release an official solo work. Addressing the audience, he said "It's not a huge album or anything, it's just a single. I was able to work together with someone that I'd always really liked, so I'll be releasing a new song."[1] The following day, Big Hit Music posted a notice confirming BTS would be moving ahead with plans to fulfill their mandatory military service and that Jin would be the first member to enlist following the completion of promotions for his solo release.[2] Several articles subsequently published by Korean news media reported that the song was gifted to Jin by Coldplay and would be released at the end of the month, despite Big Hit not having provided any details about the single at the time. Initial statements from the label in response to all the speculation neither confirmed nor denied the reports, with the company only saying that details would be provided at a later date—it eventually confirmed the month-end date to Newsen and YTN.[3][4][5]

You and me
끝나지 않을 history
Oh 나의 우주가 돼 준
우리의 이야기

목적지 없이 흘러가는 저 소행성처럼
나도 그저 떠내려가고 있었어
어둠 속에 찾은 나의 모든 dream
새롭게 시작될 story

When I'm with you
There is no one else
I get heaven to myself
When I'm with you
There is no one else
I feel this way I've never felt

You and me
깨지지 않는 별처럼
너의 꿈이 되어
우주를 여행하는

어두운 길을 비춰주는 저 은하수처럼
너는 나를 향해 빛나고 있었어
어둠 속에 찾은 단 하나의 빛
너에게 향하는 나의 길

When I'm with you
There is no one else
I get heaven to myself
When I'm with you
There is no one else
I feel this way I never felt

I feel this way I never felt
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

When I'm with you
There is no one else
I get heaven to myself
When I'm with you
There is no one else
A life, a sparkle in your eyes

Heaven comin' through
And I love you

And I love you
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
