The tune is dedicated to ARMY, the band's fandom, in which Jimin promises he won't let go of "your hold" no matter what challenges arise.
The music video for the song provides fans with a nostalgic journey through Jimin's 10-year musical career.
On Dec. 12, the singer enlisted in the Army to perform his mandatory military service.
