With his debut solo single, "Promise," which was made available on the site on December 30, 2018, the 27-year-old global superstar now owns the Guinness World Record for the most listened song ever on SoundCloud.

"Promise" went on to become SoundCloud's most played song ever, with 327 million streams as of January, after being the service's most streamed song in the first 24 hours with 8.5 million plays.

Eric Wahlforss, an electronic musician, and Alexander Ljung, a sound designer, both from Sweden, founded SoundCloud in 2007. It debuted formally in October 2008. It is well known that this site helped established musicians like Chance the Rapper, Juice WRLD, and Post Malone begin their careers. Notably, Post Malone's popularity increased after he posted his debut song, "White Iverson" (2015), on his SoundCloud page. This helped him land a deal with Republic Records.

Jimin previously revealed that "Promise" is the first song he ever composed and that he wrote the entire melody by himself. During a 2019 V Live broadcast following BTS' concert in Singapore, the idol shared that "Promise" was not originally an uplifting song.

"It was originally a song in which I told myself off. When I first began writing it, I intended it to be a dark song," he said at the time, according to Soompi."But because my feelings and thoughts were so dark and gloomy at the time, I only had dark music in mind," he added. "Everything I wrote ended up being in that same vein. So my lyrics were all kind of saying, 'Why are you like this?' I was basically one step away from cursing at myself [in the lyrics]. Those were the kinds of lyrics that sprang to mind back then."

SoundCloud boasts 30 million producers who are heard in 190 countries and 76 million active monthly users.

Jimin, a member of the South Korean band BTS, recently celebrated their ten-year musical anniversary. Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook make up the band. In an emotional post on the 10th anniversary, Jimin thanked the supporters. He explained to the BTS soldiers, “I’ve told you ARMYs a few times already, it’s not easy to support and love someone and give them strength for no particular reason. That is why I am able to understand how happy we are. You, who made us feel this way, should feel overflowing happiness and receive love. You must. Understand? ARMY, whom I am always thankful to and love, Let’s be happy for a long long time.”
