It is the fastest Korean song and fastest solo song by a Korean act to do so
BTS member Jimin is soaring on the wings of his international solo success, as his track Like Crazy, the lead single from his solo album FACE, achieves an astounding milestone of 1 billion streams on Spotify. Remarkably, it claims the title of the fastest Korean song to reach this milestone.
Like Crazy is fastest Korean to reach 1 billion streams
BTS’ Jimin introduced the song Like Crazy on March 24, 2023, as the second single from his debut solo studio project FACE. Recently, Like Crazy has reached a monumental milestone of achieving 1 billion streams on Spotify. This feat holds immense significance as the song becomes the fastest Korean track and the quickest solo song by a Korean act to attain this milestone within just one year of its release. Moreover, as of April 4, 2024, it stands as the first and only song by a Korean solo artist and the first and only self-composed song by the artist to accomplish this remarkable feat.
Like Crazy serves as the title track from the idol's debut solo album FACE, which saw a global release. Musically, the English version delves into the pressures of fame and the fear of losing oneself, while the Korean version explores the realization of losing someone dear and desperately holding onto the idea of a world where they exist. This synth-pop masterpiece, co-produced by Pdogg and Ghstloop, showcases versatility by being mastered in both English and Korean languages. The song's lyrics were crafted collaboratively by a talented team including Pdogg, Blvsh, Chris James, Ghstloop, Jimin, BTS bandmate RM, and Evan.
