About the Song
《Stay Alive (Prod. SUGA of BTS)》 is a haunting and emotionally charged track by Jungkook, released in 2022 through BIGHIT MUSIC as part of Stay Alive (Prod. SUGA of BTS). Written and composed by SUGA, EL CAPITXN, Maria Marcus, Louise Frick Sveen, Gabriel Brandes, Matt Thomson, Max Lynedoch Graham, and Shin Won Park, the song blends dark atmosphere, cinematic emotion, and a powerful sense of longing into something deeply immersive. With a globally recognized name like SUGA leading the production and Jungkook delivering one of his most vulnerable and evocative performances, 《Stay Alive (Prod. SUGA of BTS)》 is a song I would strongly recommend to listeners who appreciate emotionally intense, beautifully produced K-pop ballads.
