Titled FACE, the album is comprised of five tracks: "Face-off," "Interlude : Drive," "Alone," a pre-release track "Set Me Free Pt. 2" and the main track "Like Crazy," which will arrive in Korean and English versions.

While not much else information is available just yet, the album's cover features the title FACE on a metallic surface with circular ripples replicating the surface of water. Ahead of the release, Jimin also released a black-and-white teaser video showcasing some behind-the-moments of himself putting together the album. In the clip, viewers can get a sneak peek of some of the tracks.
An official press release describes "Like Crazy" as "a synth pop song with intense synth sound and drum sound, upon which Jimin’s poignant timbre draws a beautiful distinction" while "Set Me Free Pt. 2" is "about his resolution to free himself from various emotions hidden deep inside him."
While FACE marks his first solo album, this isn't Jimin's first solo gig. Back in 2019, he released his first solo single titled "Promise" and most recently joined forces with Taeyang on a viral single dubbed "VIBE."
