BTS fans have praised V‘s debut solo album Layover for being a cozy listen top to bottom. The BTS vocalist heard fans’ comments and put them into practice for the latest live performance of album single “Love Me Again” — released Thursday — in which he gets up close and personal with a full backing band and backup singers for a band session of the track.
The clips sees V surrounded by a guitar and bass player, drummer, saxophonist and keyboardist for the the track. V, as well as two singers, relax and perform the track from a cozy sofa and love seats located in a small, wood-paneled room featuring posters of Prince, Fugazi, Joan Baez, Oasis and more on its cherry-colored walls.
“Fine, I will be honest with you/ Put it all out there/ I think about you all the time/ Where you are, who you’re with/ Lost without you, baby/ I wish you would love me again/ No, I don’t want nobody else/ I wish you could love me again, again,” he languidly sings in the video.
By the end of the track, V gives all the performers a thumbs-up for a job well done and jokingly collapses into his seat.
Layover was released Sept. 8; the set debuts at No. 2 on the Sept. 23-dated Billboard 200 after Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS. The third single from the project, “Slow Dancing,” also makes its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 51 on this week’s chart.
